Call them the seven deadly si(g)ns.
A man who has been unfaithful to his wife for more than a decade is warning women everywhere of the seven signals to look for — in order to discern whether or not their husband is having an affair.
The British father of three, 40, who chose to conceal his identity behind the pseudonym “Dark Horse,” revealed the red flags during an interview with The Sun,
The loose-lipped lothario, said to have been straying for his entire, 11-year marriage, told readers that his wife is none-the-wiser regarding his extramarital activities, but admits there are obvious behaviors she could spot — should she want to.
“The truth is, we all leave signs out there,” he confessed to the publication.
“Often by accident, and unless you’re a real pro at this, the chances are anyone who has cheated will have left a trail of breadcrumbs,” the proficient philanderer warned.
Here’s what to watch for.
Follow the tech trail
First, Dark Horse says a male cheater will leave a “tech trail,” as it’s almost certain that they are corresponding with their other lover or lovers via a phone or laptop.
The cheater says you don’t even have to snoop through emails or texts, saying your partner will “suddenly become exceptionally protective of his phone or computer” if there’s any incriminating evidence stored on there.
Suddenly, he’s a workaholic
Secondly, Dark Horse says women should be suspicious if their man is suddenly glued to his devices under the guise of a “work project. “
“It’s essential to consider the broader context — is there [really] a significant project at work? Has he changed jobs or roles recently?” the cheater asked. “While it’s important not to jump to conclusions, observing patterns and looking for inconsistencies can provide valuable insights.”
Decreased sex drive — with no explanation
A decrease in the man’s desire for sex is another sign and significant concern.
“It’s worth noting, however, that many factors, including stress, health issues, or depression, can affect intimacy,” Dark Horse declared, saying that sign alone did not necessarily mean a man was being unfaithful.
“But when these changes in intimacy are accompanied by other suspicious signs, they may be more ominous,” he added.
Forgetting important dates
Meanwhile, the philanderer told The Sun that “forgetting significant dates like your birthday or anniversary” is another red flag that he might be drifting away from you — and toward someone else.
Follow the money trail
Another suspicious sign pertains to finances, with Dark Horse saying evidence of an affair can often be spotted in bank statements.
While many cheaters may use their own individual credit cards to conceal their spending, the cheater says suspicious fees are also likely to show up in joint accounts eventually.
“Finances in relationships can be complex, and sometimes these charges might be for legitimate surprises or personal indulgences,” he declared. “However, a consistent pattern of unusual expenses can be a red flag.”
Can’t keep his story straight
Elsewhere, Dark Horse advises wary women to watch out for white lies and inconsistencies in any of their partner’s stories.
“If you notice him struggling to maintain a story line, frequently changing details of a story, or getting defensive when confronted with discrepancies, there may be more beneath the surface,” he admitted.
A sorry state of affairs
Finally, Dark Horse advises women to be wary if their man is suddenly apologizing for anything and everything. He says it’s a tell-tale sign a man has cheated — and is feeling remorse about his behavior.
“He might become unusually attentive, showering you with gifts, compliments, or affection out of the blue,” the love rat told The Sun. “This overcompensation can be an attempt to alleviate personal guilt or to distract you from any suspicions you might have.”
