Is your Boyfriend Cheating? Here are the Signs.

Girls just have a keen sense to know when something isn't right in the relationship. Have you ever heard someone say, " I just have a gut feeling?" Well if you have, then trust it.

There are signs to look for in the relationship if you have a feeling your boyfriend is cheating. We all learn our boyfriends' routines and know when something is off. I always say, "the more knowledge you have, the more power you have to recognize the signs."

We are all protective over our cell phones to a degree, but if your boyfriend is more protective over his phone, then this is a clear sign he is hiding something or someone. For example, if the phone rings and he leaves the room to answer it or if you go to grab his cell phone, he will suddenly grab it before you get the chance to pick it up.

Also, a classic example would be if he usually leaves his phone out and suddenly keeps it close to him at all times. Knowing his routine and paying attention is key to recognize if he is cheating.

For example, if your boyfriend usually gets our of class or work, heads to the gym, and then home to see you and now is calling you and telling you he is stopping by hanging out with friends or staying longer at the gym, this is a warning sign. Relationships have a tendency to become pretty routine. Another sign your boyfriend is cheating is noticing if he is more secretive or vague.

When you ask him where he is or what he has been doing, he is vague and just answers short answers as "just hanging out."

If your boyfriend is used to sharing events of his day and now is becoming more distant and vague, take this as a warning sign. Of course, distance is not only in language but in intimacy too. Notice if he is less affectionate towards you.

These are just signs to look for if you think your boyfriend is cheating on you. The key is knowing your partner and noticing any behavior that is out of the ordinary. I was cheated on before in a relationship and I just had a bad feeling.

My boyfriend usually came over every night right after work, visited with my parents, ate dinner with us and then we would snuggle and laugh before saying good night. He all of a sudden would call and say that he was going to hang out at his house for a while or his brothers before coming to my house.

When he got to my house, he was quiet and hardly spoke to my family when he arrived.

Things just weren't right.

We would text throughout the day and that was shorter and he stated he just had a lot going on at work then would send me a random text saying he was worried about our relationship because we were arguing. In reality, we weren't even arguing, I felt like he was looking for an excuse to get out of the relationship.

At the end of the relationship, he would say he just had to get his head on straight before he messed up.

In conclusion, the more knowledge you have about your boyfriend, the more power you will have to recognize the warning signs.

Pay attention to any behavior that is out of the ordinary. I wish I could say that all girls are respectful of other girls and their relationships, but in reality, no relationship is safe.

All relationships have ups and downs and put each other at a vulnerable state from time to time. It's in the vulnerable states that other girls tempt your boyfriend and threaten your relationship.

Ultimately, it is the boyfriend who chooses to cheat and then the result is the consequence.


This is the story, that my best friend wanted me to bring to life. This is her story.


XOXO,

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
