Are You Concerned Your Partner May Be Cheating?

Being in a loving relationship is something that can make a big difference to your life. However, there are lots of people who believe they are in this type of secure relationship only to then find that their partner has been unfaithful. If you are concerned that your partner may be cheating, it is only natural to want to find out one way or another – but how can you do this?

Well, there are various ways in which you can find out more about whether your partner is likely to be cheating or not. If you have suspicions, but you aren’t completely sure, going in and accusing them outright may not be the right step, as it will simply destroy the trust in your relationship. What you can do, however, is to look out for certain signs that indicate if your suspicions are founded. In this article, we will look at some of the indicators to check out.

What You Should Look Out For

So, what signs should you look for when it comes to whether or not your partner may be cheating? One of them is a sudden increase in the number of calls your partner receives or makes. If your partner starts to receive a lot of calls and is cagey about who has been calling, this could be cause for concern. You can find tools that will enable you to determine who was actually calling, such as phone number search tools. If your partner told you it was someone else calling, you may then know that they have lied to you.

Another thing that often changes when someone is cheating is their social media usage and habits. You may have found that, in the past, your partner was very open about using social media sites like Facebook in full view of you, but that suddenly they have started to hide the screen. Or they use devices out of your line of sight. You may also find that they are spending far more time on social media, and you may hear private messages coming in. Another thing you may find is that your partner suddenly turns off the phone screen or shuts the laptop if you walk into the room.

You may also notice a difference when it comes to your partner’s social life and appearance if they are cheating on you. Perhaps your partner was always very casual with their appearance before but has now started to make a real effort. Maybe they have started going out a lot more and are not inviting you along. They may even start doing a lot of late nights at the office – or at least saying there are. All of these things are possible indicators that something may be going on.

Of course, you also need to be mindful that these things do not mean your partner is definitely cheating on you. However, by looking for signs like this, coupled with your gut feeling, you will certainly get a far better idea.

Couples Find Love and Health Through Dance This Valentines Day

With a global health kick in full force, many couples are on the search for a healthy and romantic way to celebrate Valentines Day with their loved one. Most people question this new idea, because Valentines Day is often associated with five star dining, chocolate covered strawberries, and endless wine. This year, there are several dance studios offering Valentines Day events. DOWNTOWN’S CEO/Publisher and avid dancer, Grace A. Capobianco, says “It’s an incredible sport and a great way to meet new friends and experience the time of your life,” so why wouldn’t you consider it this Valentines Day?

While men tend to resort to heart-shaped boxes of candy, jewelry and flowers, time spent with a significant other is what really matters. Lower Manhattan couples are finding healthy and romantic ways to spend date nights and special occasions. Research shows that the timeless art of ballroom dance strengthens a couple emotionally and physically, making their hearts as healthy as possible.

Dance means romance. Dance is not only the key to communicating love to your partner, it allows for quality time, acts of service, physical touch, and words of affirmation. This art calls for couples to work together, requires intimate physical content, and gives couples many opportunities to complement and appreciate their partner.

While embracing your partner, you can also lead a healthier life. Studies show that dancing continuously for 30 minutes has the same impact on weight loss as walking, swimming, or cycling. At the Lancisi Heart Institute in Ancona, Italy, medical researchers conducted a study that proved that people with heart failure who began to waltz regularly improved their heart, breathing, and quality of life more than those who resorted to cycling, walking, or running. Social dancing is the best medicine for a couple looking to strengthen their relationship and heart.

The Downtown area, as well as NYC as a whole, is home to the best of the best when it comes to dance studios! Some of our favorites are Dance Sport, owned by instructor Paul Pellicoro, Stepping Out, owned by George Qiao, Dance With Me, owned by Dancing With the Stars’ Maksim Chmerkovskiy. So if you are looking for inspiration for this Valentines Day, give the gift of dance!
