How to identify a love cheat

Guys who cheat are pretty transparent and predictable. In fact, there are three major signs that accurately predict if a guy will cheat on you.

Approximately 30 to 60 per cent of men will cheat on their spouses, according to numerous studies.

It has been revealed that for every six men who will cheat, there are four men who will be faithful, the Huffington Post reported.

It should come as no surprise that some men cheat. Whether it's the President of the United States, the top golfer in the world or a world class musician, it's a proven fact that when it comes to cheating on their spouses, some men just can't keep it in their pants.

Firstly he's secretive. Guys who cheat often lead double lives, and in order to do so, they have to cover their tracks.
 
A guy who is secretive and doesn't reveal much about himself or his life is a guy who is a prime candidate to be featured on an upcoming episode of "Cheaters."
 
Communication and the willingness to be an open book are two of the most important indicators of a happy and successful relationship.
 
And if a guy is keeping secrets in the beginning, look out because you are headed for trouble.

Secondly if he's selfish and self-indulgent. Guys who cheat do so because they are only focused on one thing -- themselves.

The good news is that guys like these are easy to spot. Guys who are selfish and self-indulgent tend to be like that in all aspects of their lives.

If you want to get a good gauge of the moral character and integrity of the man you are dating, look at the way he lives his life and the way he treats others.

If you start noticing that he is only out for himself, and he obviously doesn't care about others (including you) aside from what they can do for him, there is only one thing you should do -- run!

Lastly if he has a sudden change in behaviour. Cheating guys will suddenly change their behaviour, and in numerous ways.

He might make a sudden change in his appearance or grooming habits, or it could be a sudden change in his work schedule where all of a sudden he's working late, has to travel and can't be reached.

But the most common sign is when your sex life decreases, and he shows less of an interest in you in the bedroom.

There are some guys out there who can't be trusted and some who can.

The key is being able to recognise a potential cheater before the relationship begins.
