Secrecy cannot be called a vice or a great shortcoming of a person. Some women intentionally create a haze of mystery to seem more interesting to their partner, and these actions are not at all signs that your GF is cheating. This means that you need to determine the tonality of her behavior, as secrets can be a pleasant surprise, for example.
Also, you should not suspect your girlfriend of something just because of all that informational noise on social networks and the Internet – if you begin to raise alarms without any signs or evidence, she will subconsciously or consciously begin to move away from you. However, you should not ignore some red flags that at least signal that something is bothering her, or thus she leaves clues for you feeling the pressure of guilt.
Her Body Language Speaks Volumes
So how to determine that she is hiding something from you and this is far from a trip to the paradise islands (sigh of disappointment)? Look for recurring situations in which you were confused because of her thoughtless remarks or over-the-top behavior. Wanting to keep something a secret, she can involuntarily let it out. Besides, here are some signs that your GF is cheating, or at least it should rouse suspicions if she:
- vaguely answers some direct questions
- plunges headlong into work or other worries as if trying to distract herself from something
- lies more than once for no apparent reason and behaves strangely when you convict her of a discrepancy between facts
- is secretive with her gadgets and never leaves any chats, browser windows, etc.
If her lack of openness just doesn’t sit well with you and you can tell she’s overly secretive from a general point of view, it means you should plan a laidback conversation and look at whether she gets aggressive or protective instead of giving a precise response. Remember that you can’t expect her to tell you it all, but you shouldn’t feel weird or left out, and she will respect that if she has nothing to be ashamed of.
Why Not Being Aware of Everything About Her Is Quite Normal
While you form a couple or a family unit in which both partners share their joys and sorrows, this does not take away the right of each of you to privacy. Each individual should have time and space for personal development and self-understanding, and they have every right not to let even the closest person in. And this, in general, will only benefit your relationship because only a happy self-sufficient person has the resource to make their partner happy too.
