Featured Articles: Signs He'll Cheat

Gilde Carle explains the 7 deadly sins: signs your beau may cheat. (Here are some excerpts...)

Sign #1: Your sweetie keeps you a secret from his/her family & friends. Cheaters keep you in the dark while they play in the light. Your relationship won’t work if you’re getting what I call the Shadow Treatment. The Shadow Treatment means that you are often kept waiting in the wings while your mate is out socializing.

Sign #2: Your sweetie is emotionally absent. Cheaters conceal their emotional whereabouts so they can be evasive about their physical whereabouts. Love is exhausting when you have to pry the truth out of a partner.

Sign #3: Your sweetie says he or she wants a no-strings-attached romance. If someone says, “I don’t want a commitment,” take the sucker at his or her word. Don’t fall into that “I’ll be the one to change all that!” trap.

Sign # 4: Your sweetie admits to cheating on exes—and justifies the betrayals. Cheaters rationalize their behavior to let themselves off the hook. The way they justify their actions tells much about their character. Listen to the excuses for past cheating your sweetie uses.

Sign #5: Your sweetie has never been without a mate. Cheaters won’t ride solo... ever! Leaving one romance and hopping into a new one — or having simultaneous affairs at once — doesn’t leave time for assessing whatever went wrong. They don’t bother with introspection; their focus is squarely set on pulling new people into their orbit. If you are dating a person who shares a romantic history that always involves finding a new partner before breaking up with the current partner, take heed.

Sign #6: Your sweetie tells lies about little things. Cheaters lie about everything, which leads you to question their truth from their fiction. When the need to embroider overshadows the desire to be honest, the relationship becomes a sham.

Sign # 7: Your sweetie brags about his or her sex appeal. Cheaters are insecure, and need to attract constant attention on the side. They flaunt their popularity in attempts to boost their own low self-esteem.

Remember this Gilda-Gram: “Everyone who touches you, teaches you.” Instead of getting bummed out about a cheater who stole your heart, think of what you learned, and how your experience got you to grow.
