Signs Your Partner Is Emotionally Cheating On You

1. They are not excited to see you anymore

Number one sign your partner is emotionally cheating on you is they do not seem to be excited every time you two meet. It is a common thing when two lovers get so excited when they see each other.

When you are in love with somebody, you always miss them and you cannot wait to see them again. You always want to be close to your lover day and night.

But then you realize something has changed when you see that your partner does not seem so excited to see you. You may think they are just not in a good mood. But, what if it is because they have something else they miss more.

Spending time with your partner can be the best thing that you do not want it to end soon. Anything can feel much more fun if you are doing it with your partner. But, there is often time when your partner becomes so attached to their phone till you cannot draw their attention.

You have asked them to get away from their phone and focus on you, but you still cannot make them just turn to you right away. This can be a sign that they have something somewhere else that pulls their attention.

3. They do not tell you much when they are away

While they are away from you there must be so much happening that you do not see. For example, when they are out for work, they do not tell you who they are with or what they are going to do.

They do not try to communicate many things to you. This situation is making you grow a suspicion if they might be having an affair. Although it might not be a real affair, there are possibilities they have fun when they are not around you.

You are not capable to control it. That is what we can call emotionally cheating. When your partner have something else to make them happy and that is not you.

4. They prefer spending time without you

Since being away from you gives them freedom to do what they want, they will try to get more of their time without you. They will prefer to do things without you.

From those little things that they usually do with you like having dinner, watching new movies, or getting a haircut, to bigger things like coming to their family's event or their friends' parties, they will not try to get you with them.

They replace you with their freedom. If it keeps going, it can be one of the signs your relationship is not working you have to know before it’s too late. You are their partner, but how come they like it better when they are not with you? That is the sign that your partner is emotionally cheating on you.
