Over the past few months, mike has been coming home later from work more often. He claims that he has extra projects to tackle, but it feels off to me. We used to check in with each other during the day, but now those calls have become infrequent. When I ask him about his day, he gives me vague answers that leave me feeling unsettled.
I can’t help but notice how protective he’s become over his phone. He used to leave it lying around, but now he always has it with him, even when we’re watching TV together. He seems to spend a lot more time on social media, and when I catch a glimpse of his screen, he quickly changes the app, which makes me feel even more suspicious.
Instead of our usual weekend routines, Mike has started saying he needs to “run errands” or “meet up with friends” more often. It feels like he’s pulling away from me. He’s also paying more attention to his appearance lately—new clothes, a fresh haircut—things he never really cared about before.
Even our cozy evenings together have changed. Mike often prefers to watch TV in another room, leaving me feeling lonely and confused. It’s like there’s this growing distance between us that I can’t ignore.
I want to understand if these changes in Mike’s behavior could indicate infidelity. What specific signs should I be looking for? Are there other factors I should consider before jumping to conclusions? How can I approach Mike about my concerns without causing an argument or pushing him further away?
I’m really struggling with this, and any insights would be appreciated as I navigate this challenging situation.
