If your husband’s page is littered with comments like, “I miss you!” or, “When are we hanging out?” then be very, very wary. The same goes for if he keeps liking or leaving comments on girls’ pages that he doesn’t personally know.

Keep an eye out for a whole bunch of new “friends” or people he’s following, whose display pictures involve half-naked girls. Sure, it might just mean he has a group of friends that dress sexily but it’s more likely that you’re married to a womaniser.

If he calls you by the wrong name more than once, it’s pretty likely he’s been seeing someone who isn’t you. Sometimes it’s easy to slip up when you’re having a vague day (who hasn’t called their teacher “mum” at some stage?) but two strikes and you should confront him.

Watch how he interacts with his female friends and colleagues. Is it purely platonic? Or is there a bit of flirting? Be honest with yourself. If you see sexual chemistry between him and his female friends, sit down and have a talk with your husband. Get to the root of what bothers you. If he’s genuine, he will stop.

If he’s hanging out with you at home but sending more text messages than necessary — and they’re all to female friends — chances are he’s not that interested in investing time in the relationship with you. Keep an eye out if his phone keeps lighting up, especially at night.

Ahhhh yes, the six-digit security code or fingerprint unlock. Men rarely like anyone in their business as it is, so this one doesn’t necessarily apply to all guys across the board, but if he’s getting annoyed or overly defensive when you so much as glance in his phone’s direction, something shady is going on. Another sign is if he goes to lengths to keep his phone hidden away when he’s in the bathroom showering.

If he has a group of guy friends who constantly forward each other racy influencers’ posts, that’s a warning sign. Having friends who do this is normalising objectification of women, and he may not feel that there’s anything wrong. An even bigger red flag is if that group is sharing private pictures.

It’s normal for anyone to glance at an attractive person of the opposite sex, but if you notice your husband constantly openly checking out other people in public and not attempting to hide it from you, then the signs are pretty obvious. Attraction to other people during a marriage can be normal at times but if you see him acting out on it, tell him that you don’t appreciate his wandering eye.

If your friends are coming up to you and letting you know they’ve seen his interactions — whether online or in real life — that are crossing the line, take their words seriously. When there’s smoke, there’s usually fire.
