Emotional cheating is definitely one of the worst types of cheating out there. It might not be physical and no, he might not be having sex with someone, but his emotions are wrapped up in someone else. How hurtful is that? If you think that your man is wrapped up in someone else, take a look below and look out for the signs girls!

He is probably getting all kinds of text messages from all kinds of girls – or maybe just one girl over and over again. If he won't show you even a smidge of your texts, it isn't a good sign.

Ditto with Facebook Messages
Seriously. Facebook is exactly the same as text messages.

Emotionally Withdrawn from You
Does he not even care if you are in the room? All of his emotions are a complete mystery? It could be a sign.
If you find yourself sharing your feelings and he seems utterly unresponsive or indifferent, take note. Emotional connection is the backbone of a relationship and without it, intimacy can quickly deteriorate. Is he sharing laughs, tender moments, or personal revelations with someone else? An emotional affair might be taking root if he reserves his more heartfelt interactions for another companion, leaving you feeling like a bystander in your own relationship.

Attention is Always Somewhere else
On his phone, on his computer, at work – everywhere but you.

He Spends More Time on His Computer/phone than with You
Which leads me right into this, his attention is always on his computer or his phone. Hell, you can't even get through dinner without him being on his phone.

Men in general judge more from appearances than from reality. All men have eyes, but few have the gift of penetration.
Sex Drive Isn't What It Used to Be
I.E; he doesn't want sex, at all.
If your partner seems to have shelved his libido completely, it could signal a deeper emotional connection with someone else. When intimacy takes a nosedive, it might be a red flag that he's getting his emotional needs met elsewhere. While all relationships experience ups and downs in the bedroom, a sudden, persistent lack of interest can be cause for concern. Don't overlook changes in his desire and intimacy patterns—it's essential to talk it out, as this kind of emotional shift can breed resentment and distance if left unaddressed.

You Can't Touch His Electronics … Ever
My wife and I have an extremely open relationship with our electronics, she has access to everything I have – do you have that with your boy?

You Notice His Passwords Were Changed
Not that you would log in all the time – but the last time you did, you knew the password. Now they are all changed.

He Constantly Clears His Browsing History
His browsing history can unlock a lot of secrets – unless he clears it all the time.

Lots of Phone Calls from Unknown Numbers
Maybe he has made them unknown on purpose – or at least you can't recognize any of the numbers he is now getting phone calls from.

Moodiness is Key
This is always a key for any cheater – he suddenly is moody all of the time.
If you notice that your man has become particularly moody, it could be a sign that he's emotionally entangled elsewhere. His mood swings might not align with any obvious changes in his life, but rather, reflect the emotional highs and lows he's experiencing from his secret interactions. He could be elated after a profound connection with someone else, or sulky when he's guilty about his emotional infidelity. This unpredictability can create a sense of walking on eggshells around him, as you try to navigate through his ever-changing emotional landscape.

He Doesn't Really Engage with You – No Date Nights and No Conversation
You used to have a date night, you used to have fun together, you used to talk – none of that is happening anymore.
