If you have ever thought that there's a chance that your spouse is cheating on you, there's a quick and easy way for you to find out for sure.

The nice thing about this method is that you can do it all from your own home without anyone knowing what you are doing. I get emails from people asking about hiring a private investigator to look into whether their spouse is cheating, however that is such a drastic step that isn't necessary. This quick and easy "detective's trick" is the first thing you should do if you have some thoughts that your partner might be acting unfaithfully.

Ok - let's get to it.

The First Step - Could Your Spouse Be Cheating?

The first thing you will need to do is find a time where you can look at your spouse's cell phone for about 15-20 minutes. This isn't hard to do - you just have to pick a time where you are confident you won't get "caught" while you are looking at the phone.

You are going to look at their call history that is stored on their phone. Find the incoming and outgoing call lists and write down every phone number that you see on a piece of paper.

If there are phone numbers that you are familiar with and know who they belong to, you don't need to write them down. Just be sure to jot down any phone number that you don't recognize.

When you are all finished, put the phone back and move on to the next step.

Step #2 - Is Your Spouse Cheating?

At this point you will have a list of all the phone numbers that your spouse has either called or been called by. It's time to find out exactly who owns each of the phone numbers that are on your list.

With just someone's phone number, you can find out their full name, address, background information and all sorts of other information. It's pretty incredible how much you can uncover about someone with just their phone number.

There are companies that put together massive databases that include information for all phone numbers out there (including unlisted and cell phone numbers). The companies pay to money to have access to these phone records and then allow anyone to "investigate" a phone number when they need to.

When you get to the bottom of this article you will see a link that you can follow to try a free sample search - this will show you exactly how this works.

As you might have already guessed, these companies will charge a small fee for this service. The nice thing is that it isn't expensive and you can even find certain companies that will charge a flat fee for unlimited searches. This is your best bet so that you aren't paying for each individual search you run.

This service is known as a "reverse phone search".

You guessed it - you are going to go through the list of phone numbers and find out details about each one. As you do a search on each one, write down the information you find out on the same piece of paper.

Step #3 - Is Your Spouse Cheating?

Now not only do you have a list of the phone numbers your spouse has called or been called by, but you have full details on who owns each and every one of these phone numbers!

By figuring out who your spouse has been in communications with, it's easy to spot if there is anything "fishy" going on. You have this exact information in front of you - it's now time to look at what you see on your list.

Obviously pay attention to the names that show up and the different calling patterns that you see. In this case, anything suspicious will definitely jump off the page at you.

One of my favorite parts of this "investigative trick" is that you do each and every step right from your own home. This lets you get the answers you need about whether your spouse is cheating on you quickly and easily without anyone ever knowing what you are looking into. Good luck!
