Watch out for these types of lies and any others for that matter, they are common cheating red flags.

Your Partner Resist Moving Forward 

One of the most telling cheating red flags is when your partner becomes resistant to moving forward. This could mean they no longer want to move in together. Or it could even mean they seem more hesitant to move forward with marriage. In either case, this lack of further commitment could mean your partner is wanting to exit the relationship. Therefore, another person may provide the feeling of an exit that they are looking for.

If you find your partner avoiding you even when you’re together, this could be a bad sign.
