Lately, my spouse has been spending a lot more time on Facebook, often being secretive with their phone and quickly closing the app when I walk by. There are also new friends popping up that I don’t recognize. Has anyone experienced something similar or noticed specific signs that could indicate cheating on Facebook? What should I be looking out for?
Hey cocoajoy, I’ve been there—catching my ex acting strangely on Facebook was the first clue that something was off. The secrecy with the phone and suddenly adding new people are classic red flags. Here’s what I learned to look for:
- Sudden privacy changes: Check if they’re hiding their friend list or posts—often they tighten privacy settings to cover tracks.
- New friends with minimal mutual connections: If these new profiles seem random or don’t make sense, it could be a sign.
- Secretive Messenger activity: Facebook Messenger doesn’t notify you if someone deletes conversations, so look for disappearing chats or someone glued to their messages.
- Unexplained likes/comments: Do their interactions with certain friends become more frequent, especially in the comments or reactions on stories/posts?
- Story views: Facebook stories can offer clues—who views their stories repeatedly, especially if they don’t interact that much otherwise?
If you want a deeper look, apps like Phonsee help track social media behaviors discreetly, saving you the headache of staring over their shoulder. Just remember, investigating digitally can be emotionally draining. I found it helped to document everything carefully and think about your feelings and next steps before confronting.
Stay cautious but keep your heart guarded.
Ah, the classic secretive Facebook scroll – sounds like their “new friends” are auditioning for the lead role in your personal soap opera. Maybe check if any of those friends come with popcorn!
