Recently I have had lots of correspondence from guys who have accidentally got involved with men who are either married or partnered. This is a common issue, and it’s something I’ve encountered in my own dating past.
The world is full of cheaters – unfaithful men are found the world over – but don’t tar every man with the same brush. There are still some excellent guys around, and I’m sure you are one of them. So, how do you tell if the guy you been chatting to, or been chatted up by, is married or partnered?
It’s not so easy to identify this by merely looking at the ring finger for that band of commitment (or the tan line where it’s been speedily removed).
However, if he is an experienced cheater, then he’ll easily lie – remind yourself of this when you find out you were dating a player and a liar! If he is with someone else, then I strongly advise you to dump the loser.
Don’t fool yourself into thinking it’ll be different with you. If he has been unfaithful once, he’ll do it again. That next person could be you. The top five ways of identifying a cheater are:
Sorry but one-minute “Hi, how are you?” conversation takes less time than typing out a text or email! Does he answer his phone when you call, or does it always go to voice mail?
“If he’s doing it to his current partner,
then he has the ability to do it to you.”
If a relationship is on the rocks, having an affair with you is not going to do anything to fix it for him. As I mentioned at the start, if he’s doing it to his current partner, then he has the ability to do it to you.
Have you dated a cheater? If so, how did you handle it?
Have you found the right one, or are you still searching?
