Feeding One’s Suspicion

It is around 10 in the evening and your lover just got home. You both sit down to have a meal together, but then you realize that he or she has not really been eating much. You then ask about his/her lack of appetite, and he or she responds with a hesitant reply of having already eaten somewhere. You then pursue the subject and ask about the said dinner, and he or she takes a little while to explain the situation. You let him/her off the hook afterwards, but then something inside you feels that something is not right at all.

The psychological aspect of cheating lovers covers more that what most would imagine. It can affect every aspect of the cheating lover, and before he or she can ever realize what is going on, his or her whole lifestyle is changing. This includes eating habits, which can say a lot about a person, much more if it is your lover.

People tend to overlook this area, though, but it does say something. For husbands, his eating habit can change during the course of an affair. He may be taking more preference in certain foods that has never occurred before. Most likely, he is conforming to the preferences of a mistress.

For wives, on the other hand, might start dieting seriously, and sometimes spending more time in the gym, all of a sudden without any apparent reason. If this is not her usual habit, then it is most likely to lose weight and become more attractive to her new suitor. This may apply to husbands as well, though, so that he can lose weight and look better as well.

It has been known, though, throughout time that people have been blamed of having an affair because of such “evidences” even though they were actually innocent. It is crucial to remember that a spouse can show the signs of infidelity, but is actually not cheating at all. Someone who does cheat, though, will take enough care to cover his or her tracks so that he or she will not get caught. It is difficult to analyze the whole situation without making a mistake.

Even though a change of eating habits may be an indicator, it cannot stand alone as evidence that your lover is being unfaithful to you. Paranoia can easily sink into your mind if you suddenly believe that he or she is showing signs of infidelity just because he or she is eating salad more or is starting to put more Worcestershire sauce on his or her food. One must be careful before speculating, and yet remain vigilant.
