How to Tell If Your Boyfriend or Husband Is Cheating On You

The word infidelity brings with it fear to every woman Ive ever had the opportunity to speak with. While many make the claim that their spouse would never cheat on them they realize that is false hope and that it could very well happen to them.

When trying to decide if your boyfriend or husband is cheating on you, you should start by looking for some of the warning signs.

  1. Lower desire to be with you sexually.
  2. Suddenly tries new sexual positions.
  3. Working late more often.
  4. Mysterious phone calls.
  5. Gets angry when you look at the cell phone, pager, or computer. Is secretive of such.
  6. Smell of perfume on their clothing.
  7. Takes a shower as soon as he comes home.
  8. You find hairs or other objects on his body or in his possessions.
  9. Starts taking more care with his appearance.
  10. Accuses you of cheating.
  11. He changes his normal routine without cause or reason.

Now its really easy to look at a list like this and see something that your husband does. Thats why its important to remember that you are looking for changes in his behavior. If you husband normally takes a shower as soon as he gets home from work then it is unlikely that this is a sign of his cheating. You are looking for multiple changes in behavior, routine, or personality; not isolated incidences or incidences that do not last. Take for example the lower desire to be with you sexually. This would be common when your husband is sick or under pressure at work. This alone should not raise any red flags. However, if you notice this and then a week later he comes home smelling of perfume, this is cause for alarm.

There are many people out there claiming to be experts who will tell you that you should confront your husband when you become suspicious but, that is on of the worst things you can do. Ive even read that you should confront because the longer you wait the better they become at lying to you. I believe these people have never been in your position. To confront without some sort of evidence will only lead to more lies. Do not be fooled, your boyfriend or husband has been lying to you for quite some time and is really good at it.

If you confront without evidence you will be lied to. They will even lie when you have the evidence. Without evidence you will be left with more doubts than when you started and you will feel as if you are crazy. Your husband will spin it and make it seem as though he just cant believe that you would think such a thing about him. Also, you can bet your last dollar that he will become much more careful of his actions and behaviors and you may never find the truth. Also consider the possibility that your suspicions are unfounded. What will happen to your relationship if you confront then? You valued your relationship so little that you jumped to conclusions and accused your husband of cheating without any proof!

Remember to always verify before you confront.

Most Watched Items on eBay Pulse: Are They Really the Most Popular Products?

The eBay Pulse web page shows the top 10 Most Watched Items. It also shows the top 10 Most Popular Searches. Of the top 10 searches at this writing, four are keywords in the computer video gaming category, and five are in the digital audio category. Among the top 10 Most Watched Items, all 10 at this writing are ebooks about the subject of making money online.

It is interesting to note that all 10 items on the Most Watched Items list are listed with gallery pictures, and all 10 items are listed with a subtitle. Not one of the top 10 includes a picture of the ebook; instead, 5 out of 10 include a gallery picture of two young people, and 4 out of 10 include a gallery picture of money. All 10 are listed as Buy It Now auctions. At this writing three listings have less than 10 purchases, which is much less than you would expect of a product that is listed as one of the top 10 products watched out of millions of products listed on eBay. One item has a mere three purchases. Considering these observations, one must come to the conclusion that the top 10 items listed on Most Watched Items are not necessarily the most popular products on eBay.

The theory behind getting ones product listed on the Most Watched Items" list is that if a Seller can get his item listed there, he will then have millions of Buyers see his listing -- Buyers who otherwise would not see his auction if it was not on the Most Watched List. Therefore, these Sellers get lots of free advertising.

The eBay Pulse feature is a great way for Sellers to determine what is selling best on eBay, and with some skill Sellers can pick out lucrative niches in which to sell products.

There are questions, however, surrounding the Most Watched Items" list and exactly how it helps Buyers and Sellers, other than to allow some Sellers to have the benefit of getting their products listed there and obtain a massive amount of free advertising.
