    Make sure you really want to know if he is cheating as if the answer is yes, what you going to do? Is it better to sit tight and get all your ducks in a row for when you separate?

    Check/Tap their phone, install hidden cameras, message their work colleagues/friends, follow them around.

    Must be loads of crap you can do, just watch a spy film.

    If you can, look through their phone for proof, expect them to turn it back on you which is a typical response from a cheater.
  • He is acting strange, sometimes picks a fight for no reason and then leaves, sometimes takes off his wedding ring, secretive on phone calls and who is calling
  • I too would be suspicious,
    dont bite back when he picks a fight, so he has no excuse to storm out,
    I dont know if you can do it but take your time to sort stuff out for yourself in case you are correct.

    You know him, do you think he would tell you if you asked him outright?.

    I have been in your position but my husband at the time started accusing me of having an affair for no reason and thats when I knew,
    stay strong, you will get through this.
  • Suggest you want an open relationship and then see how fast he jumps at it. That's what one of my friends did to his girlfriend when he had had a couple people say they had seen her with a different man and she almost bit his hand off. He never got concrete proof in person she was cheating but from seeing how receptive she was to being with other people he got the feeling that she wasn't in the same place as him and he called things off.

    Check/Tap their phone - illegal , install hidden cameras - possibly illegal (depend on ownership of property) , message their work colleagues/friends - fine , follow them around - illegal .
