Well I'm not personally positive about how to tell if someone is actually cheating on you or not, but there are signs that I was able to see when I felt that things were going down hill in my last relationship.
1. He rarely kissed me on the mouth, usually just the forehead.
2. He was distancing himself, putting more of himself into his band, school, job, etc.
3. Would come home drunk every night and pass out.
4. The "I Love You's" Got pretty rare
5. He was easily upset, and not so easy to make happy
These are just some things that I learned from my own experience, I hope this helps you out in anyway.

Brutal. 1, 2, some of 4 and 5 look familiar too... I've also seen all of these signs in the relationships of friends and family.

well, we don't have the ability to read ones mind but they said that women got instinct.,wherein we would feel that our partner is cheating on us.,if you feel something different bout your partner then just make a bit of observation why he acted that way.,but of course sometime we need to give them the benefits of the doubt.,for example he makes excuses bout his work or something.,let him explain and if you think that his excuses are valid then give him a bit of trust this time.,just let that pass.,i guess the main thing here is you have to trust your partner and be open to each other so that you will be at ease everytime he is not with you or something., Ü
have a nice day ahead!
see you around!

Its ok. This advice is still relevant just wanted everyone to notice I was coming from a male standpoint but it goes both ways.

Um ok my partner is a female. Maybe I should have specified before this conversation turned to this. Maybe its different for men and women. Maybe we don't possess the instincts like women, or maybe it's not even that hard to see what is right there in front of your face.

There are several different signs that the relationship is going south and that you need to do something before it's no longer repairable.
You'll also just instinctively know I just don't know how I can explain that but I have always just instinctively known with out looking for any signs but trust me there are signs to this too.
If the ship is sinking yet fixable I'll sit down and talk to my other half but if the ship is past the point of repair then it's best for everyone involved to just make a clean break.

Here are some internet bits on the matter

But really you should look for physical, social and emotional distancing. For one thing, is she ashamed or unwilling to be seen with you by family?-Friends?-The public?! She might be shy about the whole thing, but there is also the possibility you could be the side person...(one of those parties could reveal it,
For another, check out her distance/technology communication. If she insists on more email/online and less calling/in-person, something maybe up (the former can be forged, made up, responded to and covered easily - distantly; the latter requires much more on a person's part).
Depending on your relationship, what's the physical intimacy like? If you were once "love love" but more recently (and for a significant time) been distant, there could be a problem.
The reaction part should be easiest of all cheating discussion given the reasoning, the thoughts, the "why?" All you have to do... Leave.

Reading all the "signs" makes me wonder. I think if you try hard enough you could apply these to anyone. One should be careful with those type of lists but at the same time should be able to see a lot of these things for yourself. Thank you for your response, and everyone for theirs as well.

I just recently got cheated on and my first reaction was shock, then laughter, anger, hurt, and then I was on the mend. I'm no longer with him he is a long haul truck driver and apparently his plan is to have a lady in every port that he stops at. I wished him the best of luck and moved on. It still hurts you know I had real feelings for him and to know that he was just lying to me and not have feelings for me that wasn't right.
As time goes on things will get better, and my resentments I have for him will go away.

You mean she. After this discussion I have ruled this out. Don't think she's been cheating but time will reveal the truth.

I think it's just one of those things that you just know. Sounds odd but you should be able to tell when something is wrong within your relationship. If they don't want to spend time with you much but prefer spending time elsewhere, or say the classic, "Don't you trust me?" are all warning signs in my book.

They say women have instincts.. and most of the time they use this instinct to know whether their boyfriend is cheating on them. But not all the time. But mostly, if i have this kind of feeling against my boyfriend plus when i can see and feel some changes on him, then that would be the time that i would suspect that maybe, he has other girl..and that is the time for me to investigate about what i suspect... For men, well, i really dont know how they would know if their girlfriends are cheating on them.. maybe, the same, if the girl changes on how she is to him.. but, for both sides, any instincts or if we feel changes with our partners, doesnt really mean that they are doing something "wrong".. unless we found out the truth and proved it.

I think that the signs would be different for every relationship. No one can presume to know your partner as well as you do. Has their behavior changed? Do they pull away from you when you attempt to have a moment of intimacy? Are they receiving calls and walking into another room with no explanation?
There are always signs, but only the person who thinks their partner is cheating on them would be able to recognize those signs. For myself, if I thought my partner was cheating on me, I would calmly sit down and ask him straight up if he was or not.
Obviously, if he is, then there is an issue that needs to be addressed. I love my husband enough to attempt to react calmly, find out why or what the issue is and solve it. If a solution is not possible, then it is time to move on, and to attempt an amicable relationship for the sake of our children.
