Giveaway Habits

One or two minor changed habits by themselves usually don't raise suspicion as they could be attributed on anything. However.... if there are two or more major lifestyle changes, your spouse will begin to wonder what you're up to, especially if your habits seem to change "out of the blue".  
1. A sudden upturn in your demeanor or outlook on life.
In its initial stages, a new romance can add unaccustomed vitality to your expressions. You may show some of your renewed sense of well being toward your spouse, thereby raising suspicion.
2. You're constantly late.
A feature shared by all extramarital affairs is a shortage of time. Because you're forced to steal moments for your lover, there will be a sudden increase in the number of times you're late coming home for dinner, family occasions or official functions.
3. Your spouse notices a sudden increase or decrease in sexual interest toward them.
An illicit affair is as likely to heighten as to lower your sexual interest in your spouse. All must appear normal if you want to avoid suspicion. Do not attempt new or unusual sexual positions
4. You start being more possessive toward your wallet, pocket calendar or briefcase.
This is definitely true when it comes to my briefcase. If asked, my response will be that I caught one of the kid's in my briefcase some time ago and simply don't want them to be able to get into it again. I don't recommend keeping anything suspicious in your wallet. Names in the pocket calendar are coded even if my spouse were to snoop through it
5. You come home more often with alcohol on your breath.
"I know where you were... I can smell booze on your breath again... So who were you with?" Unless you've always stayed out one or two nights a week for a drink with your fellow work mates, this will cause suspicion. 
6. You start talking about getting together with old friends you haven't seen in years.
In your effort to try to find time for your lover, getting together with old friends appears to be a convenient way to account for time away. Make sure your spouse doesn't know too much about them.... particularly how to contact them. 
7. You start taking a renewed interest in your appearance.
... And why wouldn't you? You are now "dating" again and you want to look your best. Be careful here. Your spouse will notice this change and wonder why.
8. You start shopping for new clothes.
See above No. 7
9. You start keeping an overnight bag in your car or office, ostensibly for a workout or a game of tennis.
This makes sense if you have done this all along, but if this is a new thing for you, it can cause suspicion, especially if the bag doesn't contain any sports paraphernalia.
10. You order dishes you've never ordered before.
A new love tends to put one into an adventurous mood, often trying new things when with our lovers. Be careful about extending your new tastes too quickly into your other permanent relationship, especially if you have always been hesitant to try new foods before.  
11. You often "forget" to wear your wedding ring.
This is a HUGE indicator to your spouse that something is up.  
12. You start working late and on holidays and weekends.
If you start "working" at times that are unusual for you, make sure this can be backed up somehow. What if your spouse tries to call you at "work"?
13. You start to insist on answering the phone.
Giving your lover your home phone number is asking for trouble. This can be very touchy if you should have a falling out with your lover.  Dashingfor the phone every time it rings will cause alarm bells to go off in your spouse's head. 
14. At odd hours you start remembering things you forgot to do at the office.
Once again, the need for accountable time away from home causes us to look for more creative excuses. This might work  for a one time only emergency type of situation. It is NOT a good idea to do this regularly. 

15. You smell of a different soap from the brand at home or you smell freshly showered at 1.00am.
This is a biggie folks. Smells are extremely suspicious, particularly unusual smells or odors on you and your clothing. 
16. You buy your spouse gifts that show a new level of taste or insight about the opposite sex.
17. You make a point of keeping your car free of paraphernalia belonging to your spouse or the kids.
18. You start attending extended seminars or conventions.
19. You start using new words and phrases.
20. You take a new interest in your anticipated schedule.
21. You encourage your spouse to go alone to visit parents or friends.
22. You don't look at other women/men as much as you used to.
23. You take the dog for much longer walks than you used to.
24. Your spouse hears you making more phone calls late at night.
25. Your spouse senses a marked change of attitude towards you on the part of your secretary, colleagues or friends.
26. You suddenly take up new hobbies or friends that take you out of the house in the evenings and weekends.
27. You talk about a movie that you've seen but your spouse hasn't.
28. You express opinions on subjects you never used to take an interest in.
29. You call out a different name in your sleep or while making love to your spouse.
30. You suggest you open up separate checking accounts.
