Infidelity – The BIGGEST mistake you can make!

The biggest mistake you can possibly make is to confront your partner about signs of infidelity before you have done an investigation. You should NOT let your partner know you are suspicious. He/she is already being secretive and hiding the truth from you. If you tip them off it will make it harder to find the truth about any possible infidelity.

If you asked them straight out they will deny it absolutely and, if you really think about it, they don’t have a choice. If they are not cheating on you, they have to deny it. If they are cheating, but they don’t want the relationship to end, they will deny it because it will either kill the relationship or badly damage it – something they don’t want.

If there is a sign of infidelity and they plan on leaving, experience tells us that they will lie to you until the very last moment for one of two reasons; the person they want to be with is not 110% committed to be with them indefinitely, or they feel that they cannot get divorced due to monetary concerns or a religious one. In short, there is almost no opportunity for the truth to come out on its own and if it does, the timing is completely controlled by the unfaithful partner.

The bottom line is that, if he/she knows or suspects you are onto them, then they will go to even greater lengths to cover their tracks of signs of infidelity, making it even more difficult for you to find out the truth.

So, what’s next?

The next step is to contact us and provide some brief details of the circumstances surrounding your suspicions.  It would also be helpful to know whether there is any pattern or routine (particular days and time-frames) to your partner’s possible signs of infidelity.

In almost all situations, surveillance becomes necessary to provide positive proof of the infidelity. However, where there is no solid pattern/routine in their activities, preliminary low-cost steps can be taken to obtain additional information to better pin-point any future targeted surveillance.
