Any relationship can be challenging, especially when you\u2019re in college and potentially embarking on your first serious relationship. You might have to deal with miscommunication, opening yourself up for the first time, or realizing you put your emotional wellbeing in the hands of someone named Maddy\u2014but there is no greater challenge than when you suspect your partner of infidelity. Here are seven signs that your partner may be cheating on you:<\/span><\/p>\n

Increased Technology Use
\n<\/strong>The first and most well-known sign of cheating is if your partner tends to spend more time on their devices than paying attention to you. One thing to look out for in particular is if they spend a lot of time smiling down at their phone or pretending to check their email on their computer when they\u2019re supposed to be spending time with you. This might indicate that they\u2019ve stopped valuing your time together as much, and have instead decided to turn their attention to other things\u2014like a different partner.<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019re Unable to Reach Them
\n<\/strong><\/span>You text your partner in the middle of the day asking about when you want to meet up again, and she doesn\u2019t respond until three hours later with a vague, dismissive answer like, \u201cSorry, I\u2019ve been super busy,\u201d or “Oops, didn\u2019t see this.\u201d If this sounds familiar to you, then your partner might be with someone else while you\u2019ve been waiting for her response.<\/span><\/p>\n

Her Schedule Changes
\n<\/strong>Finally, you get through to your partner to schedule some time together, but she cancels the day of because she \u201cdoesn\u2019t need to meet with you anymore.\u201d Oh really, Maddy? What exactly is that supposed to mean, you\u2019ve \u201cfinished already?\u201d You\u2019ve got something better to do?<\/span><\/p>\n

She Treats You Differently
\n<\/strong>I thought I was supposed to be your first priority. I saw Caroline earlier today and told her why I was by myself and she said, \u201cWow, that\u2019s weird, aren\u2019t you guys always together?\u201d and I said, \u201cYeah, Caroline, that\u2019s what I thought.\u201d Maybe I should spend more time with Caroline. How would you like that, huh?<\/span><\/p>\n

What the Hell, Maddy?
\n<\/strong>We were supposed to be exclusive. Or at least that\u2019s what I thought, and then you went off by yourself and did it with someone else. Are you trying to tell me something, Maddy? Are you? Am I not good enough for you or something? Is that it? Is it???<\/span><\/p>\n

You Think I Understand Gauss\u2019s Law? I Don\u2019t Understand Gauss\u2019s Law, Dammit
\n<\/strong>The whole point of us working <\/span>together<\/span><\/i> on physics was that we would help each other, not that you\u2019d go off and do the whole goddamn problem set on your own and leave me depressed and alone. You were supposed to be my rock, Maddy, and instead you were a croissant. That\u2019s right. You\u2019re flaky.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Conclusion, Fuck You
\n<\/strong>I\u2019m getting a new partner. Might even go and see that one TA who\u2019s really good at surface integrals, which I know made you jealous. I\u2019ll see you next week in lecture. You\u2019d better watch out, because I fully intend to ruin the curve for you and take my revenge.<\/span><\/p>\n
