During a wavering relationship.

How can one tell if instinctive suspicions are correct, or it's nothing but simple paranoia? Surrounding the assurances that one's partner it not up to no good, or simply thinking about throwing in the towel.

Thanks.....

Hmm well I think more detail would help but in my experience, I go with my gut instincts because they've never let me down. Keep an eye open without prying too much. I'm capable of cracking passwords and looking through phones too lol I wouldn't say to go that far though!

My guts never lie to me. I chose to ignore it or deny it in the past. But I always knew what's up. If something feels wrong, then it is wrong

Probably best to sit and look at what's lacking within the relationship first before delving into suspicious behavior. It's easier to address as less likely to be combative due to accusatory nature of outside aspects. If what's lacking cannot be addressed, then it's probably time to toss in the towel.
Thanks for this!

I agree that the gut never lies, but the brain hears the gut and can really run with it! So if your gut says something is off then something probably is, but it may be as simple as a weird disconnect period or there maybe some hidden guilt about some wrong doing but it could be something small and forgivable or the worst possible scenerio or anything in between. ..I guess what I'm babbling on about is have you tried talking to your partner? Have yu told them how you feel? If yes, what about their response are you still questioning? If not, are there prior indiscretions in this relationship? And what other information, vibes, clues are you recieving outside of your gut that is reinforcing your suspicions? Check all your boxes twice and if it still seems fishy then walk way.

Oh yes and I forgot to stress about communication. Try talking it out with your partner first.

It's a loaded question but experience has taught me that if you smell a rat, there could be ... unless there's a very valid reason. Don't ignore your gut, is all I'm saying.

When it looks like a duck ... You know the rest... But do talk it out with him but just keep in mind when caught the person would lie so be very careful
