By now, you’ve probably picked up on something big in this program: cheaters don’t always behave in one obvious way. One minute, they’re being super sweet, acting all close and loving. The next, they’re cold, distant, or picking a fight over nothing. It can be confusing.
When someone’s cheating, their emotions are all over the place. It’s like they’re living a double life, and that guilt makes them unpredictable.
You might also notice that their moods seem to depend on who they’ve been talking to. They come home smiling, like they’ve just had a great chat with someone. But the second they’re around you, that happiness seems to drain away. They get distracted, distant, and cranky. It’s like whatever made them happy wasn’t you, and now being home just brings them down.
One woman told us her husband would come down for dinner after a so-called "work call," grinning like he'd just been somewhere he actually wanted to be. But once he sat down with her and the kids, it was like a switch flipped. He got quiet, pulled back, barely made eye contact.
Talking to the other woman probably gave him a little thrill. But sitting with his family again? That just reminded him what a scumbag he really was.
Dealing with this emotional hot and cold is exhausting. You end up walking on eggshells, trying to guess which version of them is going to show up. Are they in a good mood? Are they going to blow up? Are they pretending to be sweet because they feel bad?
And here’s what makes it worse: they probably don’t even realize how inconsistent they’re being. Or if they do, they’ll blame it on stress, work, or being tired. And sure, we all have off days. But when these emotional shifts start happening a lot, and especially when they seem tied to your presence, your questions, or specific people they mention? It wears you down and messes with how safe and stable you feel in the relationship.
