How Cheating Husbands Hide Their Summer Affairs

Infidelity increases during the summer months. Summer is the season when it’s easier for cheating husbands and boyfriends to initiate a quick fling or a short-term love affair. A cheating spouse who is already involved in an extramarital affair will find it easier during the summer to steal large blocks of time to spend with his mistress, and his wife will never know. Although cheating men use various tactics to hide their summer affairs, travel figures prominently in the tactics described below.
Sending the wife ( and Kids) Away
Some husbands routinely send their wife and kids to the beach, the lake, the mountains, the country, or to visit relatives in another state. Or a man may treat his wife or girlfriend to a trip he knows she can’t resist (a Caribbean cruise, a week at a world-class spa or fancy resort) It’s an effective way to pave the way for “summer play.” Not only has he conveniently removed you from the scene without a fight, he also earns points for being a generous and thoughtful mate. But what’s he up to once you’re safely out of the way? Where is he? Who is he with? How is he spending his time?
The Separate Vacation Scheme
Has your spouse or significant other suddenly suggested that the two of you take separate vacations this year? Is he a little too insistent about getting away from you and the kids? Has he been constantly harping about how he needs “space” this summer so he can do his own thing? Exactly where is it that he wants to go? And who is he going with? What is it that he wants to do that doesn’t include you? The separate vacation scheme is a common ploy summer cheaters use to lay the groundwork for a summer affair. He could be living it up in Las Vegas with his lover while you’re vacationing somewhere else. If he’s too eager, too insistent, or lobbying a little too hard for time alone, you might want to re-think your summer plans.
Counterfeit Conventions and Bogus Business Trips
In some lines of work, business travel can be used to camouflage a cheating husband’s summer affair. If it’s customary for him to travel, he can easily invent a counterfeit convention or a bogus business trip. However, even legitimate trips can give can provide an alibi for summer infidelity. All he has to do is tack on a few days to allow for fun and games. A summer conference or trade show is the perfect place to engage in a little hanky-panky on the side. And if he’s traveling with female workmates or business associates, he may not have to look far to find a willing partner for a short-term summer affair.
Fake Fishing Trips and Other Outdoor Adventures
A cheating husband or boyfriend will often disguise a vacation with his summer sweetheart by making you think he’s on some kind of male-bonding trip with other guys. Men know that deep-sea fishing, rock-climbing, white-water rafting and other rugged outdoor activities, or extreme sports are unlikely to be questioned by the women in their lives. If he misrepresents the tryst with his mistress as a guys-only trip with no women allowed, he knows you won’t ask to tag along. It’s up to you to determine if he’s really hiking the Appalachian Trail with his buddies. Or is he taking a Caribbean cruise with his summer love?
