Infidelity is more common than many think—one in five British adults admit to having an affair, and a third have considered it. Some reports suggest the real number could be even higher. But how do you spot a cheating partner?
Micki Daniels, a 29-year-old Australian content creator and award-winning escort who has been with married men, claims the signs of infidelity vary by age. She outlined key behaviors that could indicate a man is having an affair.
Cheating Signs by Age Group
Men in Their 20s: Secretive Behavior and Social Media Changes
Young men who cheat often become highly protective of their phones, avoiding calls in front of their partners or changing their social media passwords. Some may even have secret profiles or follow provocative accounts.
Men in Their 30s: Picking Fights and Leaving the House
Daniels claims cheaters in their 30s often start unnecessary arguments to create an excuse to leave. Instead of resolving the issue, they avoid communication, using the fight as a cover to see someone else.
Men in Their 40s: A Sudden Focus on Hygiene
If a man rushes to shower the moment he gets home, it might not just be about cleanliness—he could be washing away evidence of an affair. Similarly, if he immediately showers after sex rather than showing affection, it might indicate he’s not emotionally invested.
Men in Their 50s: Sudden Bedroom Changes and Appearance Upgrades
A cheating man in his 50s may suddenly become more adventurous in bed, suggesting new sex positions, watching porn together, or introducing toys—things he previously never showed interest in. A noticeable insecurity about aging or an abrupt style change could also be red flags.
Men in Their 60s: Careless Spending Habits
Older men tend to hide affairs less carefully, making their spending habits a giveaway. Charges for hotels, fancy dinners, and unexplained expenses could signal an affair. Daniels claims some men even label payments to escorts as “bills” to avoid suspicion.
Final Thoughts
While these behaviors aren’t proof of cheating, Daniels suggests they could be warning signs. If you notice them, open communication is key to understanding what’s really going on in your relationship.
