Before you do anything, before you start looking for signs, asking questions, or confronting your partner, you need to be in the right headspace.
This program is built on a mindset of staying calm and observant. It’s easy to spiral, accuse too soon, or panic. But the fact that you’re here, learning first, already puts you in a stronger position.

If you start to feel overwhelmed, reach out to someone you trust. That could be a friend, a therapist, or a “cool-off contact,” someone who isn’t emotionally involved and can help you think clearly.

Also, what I’m about to say next is so important.
NEVER tell your partner you’re taking this program.
Don’t drop hints. Don’t start throwing out accusations. This is the biggest mistake you can make.

Because once they know you’re suspicious, the cover-up starts. They delete messages, hide evidence, and become harder to read. Once that happens, it’s almost impossible to find the truth.

Private investigator Julia Hartley-Moore talks about this a lot in her book Infidelity: Exploding the Myths. She’s seen so many people ruin their own chances of getting the truth simply by speaking up before they actually have any evidence.

The second someone knows you are suspicious, even a little, they start changing their behavior.

One last thing: treat this program like a skill you’re building. Real skill takes time. You’ll get more confident with each module, but only if you take it seriously. Stay consistent. Keep notes. Reflect on what you notice.

I should also mention, not every change means someone is cheating. Sometimes what you’re seeing has nothing to do with betrayal. Maybe they’re stressed, maybe they’re struggling with mental health, or dealing with something personal. If it turns out to be something else not cheating. That’s good news. That’s something you can work through together. But the only way to know for sure is to keep paying attention, and keep learning.

Your strength here is in staying calm, staying smart, and letting the truth come to the surface on its own.

By the end of this program, if they’re lying, you won’t be the last to know. You’ll be ready.

Let’s keep going.
