INDUSTRY INSIGHT DIVORCE AND FAMILY LAW SPONSORED CONTENT 15SIGNS Your Spouse May Be Unfaithful A dultery is one of the top causes of divorce in Pennsylvania. Know the signs. If your spouse is doing any of the following, you might want to have a serious conversation with us about your options. Is your spouse: 1. Using secret passwords on his/her smart phone and computers that he or she will not share with you, or changing them frequently? Is he/she hiding or even guarding his or her smartphone from you? 2. More attentive to his/her appearance than ever before--including dressing better, having dental/cosmetic surgery, changing hair color/style, changing eyewear or losing weight and increasing his or her level of exercise? 3. Returning home just to sleep, and not talking at all about his or her work day like he or she used to? 4. “Disappearing” to take or make calls or to answer emails and/or text messages? 5. Fighting with you more, being irritable, not taking your phone calls, ignoring you and criticizing you? 6. Frequently talking about someone else in his or her life with much enthusiasm – a new friend or co-worker – that he or she had not previously talked about, or criticizing someone in his or her life that he or she previously had not in order to mask his or her true feelings? 7. Making credit card charges or bank withdrawals that you don’t recognize (hotels, flowers, perfume, gifts) or opening new credit card accounts and/or diverting credit card statements to the office? 8. Seeking changes in your sex life that were not part of your sex life before – or losing interest in intimacy? 9. Losing articles of clothing or personal items that don’t seem to find their way back home? 10. Seeking privacy that was previously foreign to your relationship— such as locking the bathroom door, leaving the room to take calls, making you feel unwelcome at his/her office and telling you that you are being intrusive? 11. No longer inviting you to business events to which you used to be invited? 12. Changing his/her social media profile to make him or her appear to be single? 13. Frequently clearing the “history” on his or her phone and/or computer and/or telling you to stay clear of his or her communication devices? 14. Spending more cash than before to avoid creating a record of expenses? 15. Suddenly showering you with extravagant gifts – unlike in the past, or where there isn’t money to pay for such things?
