Is My Partner Cheating On Me?
One
Thing You MUST Do Before Confronting A Cheating Spouse
It's dangerous to confront
a cheating spouse about their infidelity without first being
properly prepared.
Unfortunately, that's just what many victims of adultery do.
As the old maxim goes, "Failing to prepare means you're
preparing to fail."
Nowhere is this more true than when the specter of divorce
looms on the horizon. Even if that's not what you ultimately
want, there's no guarantee your spouse is going to break down
and try and work things out when you confront them. They might
deny the whole affair, make themselves scarce for a few days,
or go and get a divorce lawyer.
And
a divorce lawyer is the exact person you should see before
you confront your adulterous partner! Even if you think that
your spouse, when confronted with their infidelity, will own
up and try and work things out with you, it's still safe/good
to have. Your spouse already is doing something surprising
by cheating on you. He or she may surprise you even further
by saying they want a divorce.
This
doesn't mean you have to slap down a divorce lawyer's full
court fee. You should probably be able to get by with
a consultation visit. In fact, I highly recommended it - you'll
probably get some good advice about how to handle the situation.
You'll
also better understand the legalities of your situation.
Let your spouse know this, and they will know you mean business.
They'll also likely be more compliant - especially if you let
them know when you also tell them you know they've been cheating.
This is a double-whammy that can really catch them off guard
and leave them at your mercy. Your spouse will also be less
likely to pull anything too crazy on you, once he or she understands
that you mean business and know how to take care of that business
as well.
This
will also help keep you from being caught off-guard leally.
If divorce is the only option (you may decide this after talking
to your spouse, or you might have decided it already), going
to a lawyer before you talk to your spouse may well leave you
with an advantage in court - before you ever even go to court!
Get
your ducks in a row before court is even mentioned, and you're
more likely to get what you want--or at least more of
what you want, if you're male - when court time comes. You'll
be a lot more likely to avoid what could be a long, drawn-out
court battle if you consult a lawyer before you spring your
knowledge on your spouse.
