8 alarming signals that a man is hiding another woman 0 12

He doesn’t share anything about his life

First of all, pay attention to how a man responds to specific questions about his life. Something is clearly wrong if he gives evasive or one-word answers. If he were truly serious, he would gladly share details about his life with you.

Next time there’s an opportunity, ask the man how he spends his free time and what he does when he gets bored. If he changes the subject or responds with vague phrases, tell him directly that it concerns you. Your persistence may prompt him to tell the truth.

He never speaks directly about his status

Try to recall if the man has ever mentioned his relationship status. If he avoids a direct answer to the question of whether he is single and uses phrases like "It’s complicated" or "I don’t like labels," it’s quite possible that he is trying to hide a connection with another woman.

An honest man who is interested in a relationship with you will be happy to talk about where your communication might lead. Even if he recently went through a breakup, he will tell you directly to avoid losing your trust.

He flirts when you’re alone but is cold in public

Does the man shower you with compliments in messages but pull away when you’re in company? This is a sure sign that he is either ashamed of your connection or trying to hide it because he is already in a relationship with someone else. The game of "hot and cold" is also favored by men prone to abuse — they try to make a woman lose control of the situation.

Ask the man directly why his behavior changes in public. When you hear the answer, you will immediately understand whether it’s worth continuing to try to build a healthy relationship.

He is busy with something every weekend

Analyze which days the man is more active. If he calls or invites you to dinner on weekdays, even after working 10 hours, but is always busy on weekends, something is clearly wrong. It’s quite possible that you are sharing him with another woman. This may also be indicated by the fact that from Monday to Friday, the man texts you in the first half of the day, but practically disappears on weekends.

Of course, you could spend a few hours carefully examining the man’s social media to find a "rival" among his followers. But it’s much more sensible to express your concerns directly. If they are confirmed, you can quickly decide whether it’s worth spending time on a relationship that is likely to bring too many problems.

He is very protective of his phone

Pay attention to how the man behaves when his phone is in plain sight. If he turns the screen down, leaves to respond to messages in another room, puts passwords on all apps, or suddenly goes silent when a notification comes in, he is definitely hiding something.

Don’t try to spy on the man or check his phone secretly. It’s better to say directly that his secrecy worries you and observe his reaction. Most likely, this will be enough for you to understand whether you have been drawn into a love triangle.

He hides his social media from you

If you have been communicating with the man for a long time, but he still carefully hides his social media, it’s worth considering what’s going on. It’s quite possible that his profile contains photos with another woman or something that could provoke your indignation.

We do not recommend spending days searching for a potential partner’s page online. But if you have mutual friends, you can ask them to tell you what the man usually posts in his blog and how attached he is to it.

He doesn’t introduce you to his friends

If you have been communicating with the man for several months and he hasn’t introduced you to any of his friends, it’s worth considering whether he values your connection. There’s a chance that you are with someone who thinks it’s normal to build relationships with several girls at the same time. To avoid awkward situations, he may also invite you to cafes and cinemas located in another part of the city.

Make it clear to the man that it’s important for you to be included in his life. If he finds an excuse for every return and nothing changes, ask yourself if you are ready to accept the need to remain in the background.

He appears and disappears without explanation

Just yesterday he was sending sweet messages and making future plans, and today he behaves as if nothing connects you? Such inconsistency may indicate that the man’s attention is divided among several women.

Do not justify his behavior and do not wait for everything to fix itself. Clearly set boundaries and say that stability and respect are important to you. If he is not ready to provide them, find the strength to walk away.
