CATCHING your partner cheating is most people's worst nightmare. In a committed relationship, finding out one party has been seeing someone else in secret is usually spells the end. Experts say if you suspect your other half might be playing away, there are some telltale signs to watch out for.

And many of these are in the bedroom. Amy Williams, CEO of Peachy, a leading adult toy store, says: "Changes in how a couple has sex can be early indicators that a partner is thinking about being unfaithful.". The sexpert has shared her five top signs that could spell trouble.

Less sex. The classic sign of a partner having an affair is when they no longer want to be intimate in the bedroom. This may be because they’re feeling guilty about seeking pleasure elsewhere, or they’ve lost interest in the relationship. Amy said: "If they constantly avoid sex with excuses about being tired or stressed, it could be a red flag.".
Or... more sex. Someone might be excited by the illicit thrill of cheating, meaning they’re more into sex in general. Or, if their behaviour seems forced, it might all be a cover-up. Amy explained: "People know that having less sex can lead their partners to suspect they’re having an affair, so they might force more intimacy than usual to try and cover their tracks.".
Focus on physical. If it feels like a partner is just going through the motions, that could be a warning sign. If someone is having sex purely for physical gratification and is no longer interested in building an emotional connection, it’s a sign that they’re no longer interested in the relationship.
