Private investigator reveals 30-second trick to find out if your partner is cheating on you

A private investigator has said there is a simple and free trick you can use to find out if your partner is cheating on you.

Relationships are always going contain a little bit of fear of hearts being broken if one partner steps out on the relationship.

But more often than not, even if you suspect a partner being unfaithful, it can be difficult to prove it.

Paul Evans, from I-Spy Dectives is a private investigator and regularly catches the digital clues and receipts that people leave when they are cheating.

Speaking to Metro, Evans explained there is a quick way to know whether your partner is cheating and all you would need is their number or email address

He said: “Many dating sites will tell you if an email address is already registered when you attempt to create a new account.

“This can work in your favor if you go to the well-known dating sites out there and try to sign up with your partner’s email address or phone number.”

After doing this, the dating site won't send you a blinking message saying ‘Cheater!Cheater! Cheater!’, but the info it provides could prove useful.

If your partner already has an account with the website, it will send a message saying ‘this email is already in use’, confirming that they have used the service or website

On the other hand, you could be invited to create an account which means that they are not a member... or at least don’t use that email address or phone for the service.

While this trick doesn’t exactly prove infidelity, Evans noted that it should not be ignored, especially in long-term relationships.

He added: “It is possible that the account was created before the relationship began.

“However, if you have been together for years and there is no reasonable explanation, it is a significant red flag.”

Before doing anything rash, it is worth at least having a conversation to see how they respond to your questions around the topic.

Evans did note that it is common for cheaters to use these dating sites prior to any physical cheating and that even if the account isn’t being actively used, it intentionally being kept open could be a sign that boundaries could be crossed.

Evans also said: “It could be an innocent mistake, but if you pair that with secretive behavior, emotional distance or something that doesn’t seem to add up, then you should start to trust your instincts."
