This one is closely regarded as a sign of a cheating husband, but also as a great method to catch him red-handed. Basically, these signs can be seen when your partner changes his gadget passwords too often while trying to make an excuse to avoid disclosing them to you. Moreover, if he seeks to hide the screen while using the laptop or the PC, then something fishy is up. If your partner is a cheater, he will use any and every tactic to stay as low-key as he can to try to hide his affair, therefore his gadgets are the real way to spot any sign of cheating.
3. Change in the schedule
In our 9 to 5 jobs, we have a fixed routine that we follow every day subconsciously. Your husband has a fixed schedule of going home after work, but if he suddenly stays late at the office to work or seeks out time to celebrate a colleague's birthday or anniversary to which you were not invited, then he might be a cheating husband for sure. Although there are exceptions, people who cheat usually make excuses too often if they aren’t interested in their partners anymore.
4. The change in phone etiquette
Technology has enabled us to stay connected to anyone, anywhere, at any moment, but it has surely led to the creation of bad habits in all of us to a certain degree. If your instinct tells you that your man is a cheater, look for the signs when he takes a phone call or answers an unknown number. Talking to someone over a phone with a smile on the face or walking into another room while doing so are a few signs. If he's receiving text messages from random numbers, then it’s time to catch the cheat and solve the problem as per your wish.

6. The PC's Recycle Bin
If your man is cheating on you, there are chances that he has saved the picture of his lover on his computer either under a random file name or as a hidden file.

To view the PC's hidden files, you can use Google to learn how and do it yourself, as it is something quite easy to understand.
7. Show up unannounced to catch your cheating husband

Every once in awhile, if you doubt whether your man is cheating on you or not, try to drop by the house unannounced and watch his reaction. If he sounds excited or happy, there are little chances that he is a cheater, but if he is a cheat, then he will either get angry or surprised or will try to hide something or someone. This often happens quickly so you must be quick when assessing the situation.
8. Try to make love to your cheating husband
Seduce your man when he comes back from work. According to some research, decreased desire for making love with the partner translates into the fact that he is either suffering from any mental or emotional problem, or he is cheating on you. It could also mean that he doesn’t love you anymore, which in this case means that he can potentially be having an affair with someone else.
9. A cheating husband would usually hide his phone
A certain and a strong point when it comes to adultery in a relationship is when your man is trying to hide his phone. It is suspicious that he tries to keep his phone away from you by taking it everywhere he goes without leaving it idle somewhere, so this might mean you're in trouble. Try to peek into his phone and look for his Facebook, WhatsApp and text messages, phone logs and other details to find any suspicious or obvious piece of information and catch him red-handed, confirming that he is a cheating husband after all.
10. Changes in his grooming habits

A gradual change isn’t always associated with a cheating husband, however sudden changes can reveal a lot about whether your man is cheating on you or not. Take a note and a closer look to those changes that could trigger suspicion.
11. “I need some space”, said a cheating husband

12. Catch a cheating husband by using software
Using technology and devices to detect any signs and provide evidence about whether your husband is cheating on you or not is a great way to expose him. Deleting WhatsApp and text messages is way too easy but what you can do is take a backup of his WhatsApp messages. There are software readily available that can decrypt the backup file.

Creating a fake profile or having a fake number on Whatsapp is equally effective in analyzing whether your husband is a cheat or not.
15. The change in sleeping pattern
Human beings' bodies work according to their biological clock. If you have been married to your husband for a brief period of time, say a year, there is no doubt that you might already know their sleeping patterns: when they sleep, when they wake up, etc. If your partner is cheating on you, he will sneak out of the bed at night or even waking up early in the morning especially for a phone break then you must watch out for the sign indicating that he is a cheater.
16. No more surprise gifts
This happens many times when your husband is cheating on you. Since he cannot share his love equally between you and his alleged partner, things can go out of hand pretty quickly. If you used to get surprise gifts from him back in the hay days, but aren't receiving them anymore, this could be the consequences of him falling for someone else.
17. Use hidden cameras on the cheater
If your instinct tells you that your partner is a cheater, there is no better way than hiding a spy cam in his belongings or at home. You can even listen to the conversation made on the phone if you have a microphone installed. This would be enough to have an insight on the secrets that he has or on what he does when you are not around. Hiding a spy pen is another option, as this enables you to get more information of his workplace in order to discover any office romance, which have spread across the globe, thus destroying a lot of relationships over the years.
18. Track his location and catch him in real time
Do you suspect your man is cheating on you? GPS chips and devices will help you track his location in real time. There are many tiny GPS transmitters and devices that you can stick to his car or phone. This way you will be able to track his movements on a map and find out the location where he is actually spending a lot of his time outside the office, which is a perfect opportunity for you to catch the cheater and ask for explanations.
19. You can catch him via check-ins and reviews
Facebook and other social networking websites have made communication and sharing memories and photos a lot easier. You can use Facebook to review websites, which might help you proving whether your husband is a cheat or not, as it allows its users to check in their location and add reviews on the latest movies, restaurants and virtually anything that you can track. We tend to check in and post everything in this world dominated by social media, but this is something that your husband might avoid if he is a cheat. However, he could upload a pic of the restaurant he visited several times with someone you don’t know or go to the movies without you, therefore sparking a fight between the two of you. You can ask questions to clear the air and that is when you'll have the answer of whether he is a cheat or not.
20. Use Contact Spy to reveal a cheating husband
It is easy to fake a call by saving the contact under another name, such as 'Paul' instead of 'Amanda', which means that he can play around without even getting caught unless you talk to every call he gets before he does. That is where Contact Spy comes in. It lets you spy on your supposedly cheating husband's contacts and phone logs with both incoming and outgoing phone calls, and much more. Using it is really simple. Just download the app on your phone and feed in the contact number of the targeted phone, which is your cheating husband's number, and you are ready to spy. You will be able to know about every phone call that he makes or receives, although installing a call recorder on your husband’s phone and hiding it is more advantageous, as you will be able to listen to the calls made or received by your cheating partner (in his absence, obviously).
Bonus advice
It is very crucial for both partners in a relationship to make an effort in order to keep it healthy and going. A motorcycle can be used as a metaphor for any relationship: the two wheels are the two partners and they must work in harmony and in a synchronized way to tackle the obstacles and the ups and downs so the motorcycle has a smooth ride.
Conclusion
