A divorce can be something that cracks the foundation of a family.

With that in mind, could your family’s foundation be cracking due to your husband cheating on you?

So, how to tell if your husband is cheating in the first place?

Red Flags Can Abound with a Cheating Spouse

If you suspect your husband is in fact cheating on you, have you seen any of the red flags?

Such red flags can be right in front of your nose at the end of the day.

First, is he spending fewer hours at home?

While some of this may be due to work or other actions, it may well be that he’s seeing someone on the side. If it is the latter, you want and need to know about this.

Another red flag is when your conversations become fewer and fewer.

While almost all couples hit rough patches in marriages, they tend to smooth things out over time. If rough patches in your relationship continue to be a hindrance, there’s a chance someone else is around.

You also want to see if your husband is spending excess money.

This is money that does not involve you as a couple or even going towards your home. From buying your next car to taking a long-planned vacation, does your hubby not want to spend much money? If so, then he may well be spending that money on another person.

Over time, you should be able to see the red flags add up. When they do, it may well be time to sit down and have a serious talk with him.

What Happens When Children Are in Play?

If your husband is in fact cheating, it can be all the more difficult when you have children in the picture.

For example, you have a teenager or two at home. It can already be difficult at that age to get through life with school, peer pressure and more. Now, what happens when you and your spouse are having trouble?
It is always important no matter the outcome to remind your teen that they have done nothing wrong. The last thing you want is your kid feeling as if they bear some responsibility for strife in the marriage.

You also should remind your spouse about how his actions can impact your children.

If your children are sensing trouble in the marriage, they may well not handle it. As such, it could lead to problems in and out of school. Does your husband want to be responsible for problems with their children?

Last, if it seems as if divorce is inevitable, you want to handle it with as much grace as possible.

Sure, divorce is something most couples look forward to.

That said the last thing you want is a drawn out confrontation with you and your husband for many months to come. That will do no one any good, especially you.

If your family seems to be cracking to some degree due to an affair and even pending divorce, how will you handle it?
