There is always a phase in every relationship where you might feel that your boyfriend is cheating on you. It might be either due to a sense of insecurity or due to over thinking but mostly, chances are, he is actually cheating on you. There is always this gut instinct which tells you something is wrong. It is nothing to worry about or feel bad about. It is totally normally and the fact is, it happens with everybody. To overrule all the other options and make yourself comfortable in having a stress free relationship, here are a few signs that you can notice in your boyfriend, if he is cheating on you.

“I lost my mom when I was 10, and I lost my grandma when I was 21. I realized through therapy that I had anxiety and depression. I try to humanize depression and anxiety a bit by sharing my own story,” says Vivian Nunez (@vivnunez). She is the founder of Too Damn Young (@2damnyoung), a community with the sole purpose of letting any grieving teenager know they are not alone. “I don’t think there’s ever a moment where you are done with grief, and I’ve always described it this way: Grief is a thing that you learn to walk alongside of, you never leave it behind. But I remember my mom and my grandma now, and I smile. Writing is a big coping mechanism for me, and it’s a counterbalance. My captions are really long and often heavy in terms of what they’re talking about, but my pictures are really pretty. They remind me how there’s still good in the world, and there are still pretty things in the world even if the day itself was a little bit heavier.” Photo of @vivnunez by @babin
