Even when you think you know everything about your partner, they can still surprise you. Unfortunately, not all of these surprises turn out to be pleasant. There are moments when you see your significant other in a very different light. And you might even start suspecting them of cheating on you.
One anonymous woman turned to the r/relationship_advice community for some honest advice on handling a very delicate situation with her husband during their Las Vegas getaway. The online poster opened up about how her spouse ignored her attempts to contact him and spent thousands of dollars at a gentlemen’s club. Scroll down for the full story.
Spontaneous getaways can be a lot of fun. Unfortunately, these trips can also tell you a lot about your partner’s character, in a bad way

Some subtle changes in behavior can indicate that your partner might be cheating on you
Verywell Mind explains that some of the most common signs that your partner might be cheating on you include changes in their communication and attitude, and an increased interest in their appearance.
Moreover, potential cheaters also start spending more time away from home, lying about what they’re doing, and avoiding their partner.
Some other common signs include changes in the couple’s sex life, money issues, and changes in how they use their technology.
For instance, your significant other might become unreachable by phone at certain times of the day. They might change their phone or computer password without sharing it with you.
Some cheaters also sneak off to take phone calls or are always secretly texting someone. Others reduce their social media use, clear their browser history, or turn off cloud sharing on their devices.
Another subtle sign that your partner might be unfaithful is if their fitness tracker shows exercise at odd times of the day.
The author’s panic is understandable. Many people would be shocked if their partner suddenly stopped communicating with them and spent massive sums of money on adult entertainment.
But the proverbial cherry on top was the lying. The author’s husband first attempted to deny that he went to an adult club. He also insisted that he didn’t cheat on his wife.
We probably won’t ever find out what exactly happened at the gentlemen’s club. However, the husband’s behavior is full of potential red flags. The secrecy. The lying. The mind-boggling expenses. The choice of entertainment venue.

The husband’s suspicious behavior indicates that there are deeper problems at play here
Don’t get us wrong, everyone can make mistakes, slightly slip up, or have doubts about their relationship. Everyone’s human after all. But this entire situation seems to allude to deeper issues with the relationship.
The odds are that if someone secretly heads off to a gentlemen’s club, either they’re deeply dissatisfied with their romantic relationship, or they’ve secretly enjoyed this type of entertainment before.
It’s entirely possible that the husband isn’t having his physical or emotional needs met at home. But instead of communicating about this with his wife, he chose a different way to handle things.
To play devil’s advocate a bit, it’s also possible that he was simply curious and got extremely carried away. Feeling ashamed, he tried to deny the obvious.
The r/relationship_advice online community is very widely known on the internet. It’s home to 13 million members from all around the globe.
The author’s post went viral, as many members of the popular subreddit rushed to offer their perspectives and share advice with the distraught woman.
At the time of writing, her post had already gotten 6.3k upvotes and 2.9k comments. Unfortunately, we could not reach out to the author of the viral story.
What do you think about the entire situation, Pandas? What advice would you give the woman? How would you react if you found out that your significant other spent tons of money on adult entertainment, ignored your attempts to reach out, and then lied about everything? Let us know what you think in the comments.
