What would you do if you suspected your significant other of cheating on you but couldn't prove it?
If one had a good communcation relationship with the significant other then one would have seen the signs already of a dying relationship. Or would have resolved this type of issue in the first place. Like Dr. Laura says, "A person in a relationship where his [or her] needs are met isn't going to go looking for satisfaction elsewhere."
But with that aside, I'd probably seek help first with a marriage and family counselor and see he shrink individually first to see if the problem is my lack of trust or something screwed up with me first.
Then I'd probably confront my significant other first. No need to pansy around the subject and act Jerry-Springer-like or even catishly dramatic like most females that I have had the misfortune of working with. Take the person out to a nice lunch, dinner, etc and gentle broach the subject.
If it is serious (like I'm married to this person--if it's just dating then I'd end with the last step unless it's getting serious) then I'd hire out a private investigator.
I just answered this Featured Question, you can answer it too!

That would be pretty devastating news but I think I will confront my spouse in a gentle way and then ask for marriage counseling together. As for forgiveness....it'd be extremely hard and depending on your sig other's attitude. If he/she is sincere...maybe I'll consider forgiveness but only after lots of struggles and time off to think about things.
you mean you wouldn't go on "cheaters"? haha, that show is so crazy.
i like dr laura a lot.
@juiru - Gosh "Cheaters" is the current epitome of an evil show that sensationalizes, for entertainment, the ugly, grotesque, ungracious, and unforgiving, nature of Americans nowadays. It seems like exactly type of Sodom and Gomorrah behavior that should be overcome with goodness and kindness.
