Why You Can’t Afford to Be the Last to Know that your Spouse is Cheating on You
There’s a lot of truth to that old saying, “The wife is always the last to know.” And sadly, that saying still holds true today. Infidelity studies show that two-thirds of the women whose husbands are cheating on them have no idea their husbands are having an affair, primarily because they fail to recognize the telltale signs.
What do you stand to lose by being the last to know? In this day and age, if your husband is cheating on you, you can’t afford to be the last to know. There’s far too much at stake. It could cost you your marriage, your money, and your health. Take a look at what you stand to lose.
Your Marriage.
Being the last person to know that your husband is cheating on you could be fatal to your marriage. The longer his affair goes undetected, the more time your husband has to bond with the Other Woman, and the harder it will be for him to end his relationship with her. The earlier in their relationship you find out about the affair, the better your chances are of short-circuiting the affair and getting your marriage back on track. On the other hand, if you’re the last one to know, by the time you finally find out he’s cheating on you, the affair may have already reached the point of no return. By being the last to know, you’ll lose a valuable window of opportunity to save your marriage.
Your Money.
Being the last one to find out about your husband’s extramarital affair could put you in a serious financial bind. Cheating husbands often use family funds to finance their affairs. If your husband is planning to leave you for his mistress, he may start liquidating assets behind your back prior to asking you for a divorce. If he’s cheating, you need to know as soon as possible, so you can put certain legal and financial safeguards in place. If you’re the last one to know, your husband might surprise you with divorce papers before you’ve had a chance to legally and financially protect yourself.
Your Health.
Being the last to know that your husband is having an affair can jeopardize your health. It could even be a matter of life and death. If your husband is having unprotected sex with someone else, you’re at risk for HIV/AIDS and a host of other sexually-transmitted diseases. Knowing that he’s having an extramarital affair will allow you to protect yourself by abstaining or at least practicing safe sex until the matter has been resolved. It will also alert you to the fact that you need to get tested immediately for HIV/AIDS and other STD’s. Being the last to know could easily cost you your life.
SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES
As you can see, being the last to know can have serious consequences. It can cost you your marriage, your money, and your health. The longer it takes you to find out about your husband’s affair, the more you stand to lose. You can’t afford to be the last to know.
The sooner you spot the warning signs of an impending affair, or the telltale signs of a full-blown affair, the better able you’ll be to minimize much of the damage infidelity can cause. Being the last to know can leave you open to financial ruin, jeopardize your health, and cost you a chance to save your marriage before your husband’s affair reaches the point of no return. The future of your marriage may well depend on your ability to spot the signs of infidelity in time.
How do you avoid being the last person to know? The best way to avoid being the last to know is to familiarize yourself with the signs of infidelity — both the subtle and the obvious signs. No matter how carefully a cheating husband tries to cover his tracks, he will ALWAYS leave signs behind. Since the most of the signs are subtle and easy to overlook, knowing what to look for is the key.
