Misjudging another person is particularly painful in the case of an unfaithful romantic partner, particularly if we didn’t catch the red flags.

a partner’s infidelity. He notes that several of the infidelity-hiding strategies he identified in his current research appear to be designed to counter methods of infidelity-detection—which, as a practical matter, might make them easier to identify.The clandestine strategy most likely to be used to hide infidelity in Apostolou’s study was “be discreet,” with over 95% of study participants willing to use it.
Apostolou describes another strategy as “show more interest to my partner,” where cheaters attempt to camouflage infidelity through expressing interest and love. He notes that this strategy makes cheaters vulnerable to an “observe changes in her/his behavior” infidelity-detection strategy because partners might ironically but accurately interpret sudden expressions of love as a sign of unfaithfulness.
