With all these celebrity cheating scandals surfacing on the web – from Jay-Z and John Mulaney to the recent news of Adam Levine and Ned Fulmer – it’s understandable for one to be fearful that their partner might be cheating too. To be frank with ya’ll, it’s pretty normal to be a bit paranoid when you’re in a relationship, because being cheated on is the worst feeling ever. So it’s better to be safe than sorry.
However, excessive paranoia might build a rift between you and your lover. That tiny seed of doubt that you have can ruin a perfectly wonderful relationship due to needless conflicts with your partner. Furthermore, your partner may not be unfaithful to you at all – you just have trust issues, which is entirely understandable.
In hopes of reassuring you that your partner might NOT be cheating, here are 4 signs to look out for and check off your list.
A Good History With Dating
If your partner has a good history with dating – meaning, he has never cheated before – it’s a pretty good starting sign that he won’t be unfaithful towards you. A good dating history is key in knowing how your partner will be when he’s in a relationship with you.
They’re Very Transparent
Transparency is key in a relationship. If your boo shares everything with you – like what he talks about with his female colleagues at work – he ain’t shady. Plus, it also demonstrates that he is completely comfortable sharing with you what he does every day.
Doesn’t Give You A Reason To Doubt
When he’s being transparent and honest, he doesn’t give you any room to doubt him. Even if the paranoia is itching in your brain, he’d immediately reassure you and not gaslight or guilt-trip you. It proves that he’s invested in making the relationship work.
They’re Available For You
A good indicator that he’s not cheating is that he’s always available for you whenever you need him. He always makes time for you. It shows that he’s very present in the relationship – and ain’t spending his time with someone else.
