When it comes to relationships, few things hurt more than finding out your partner is cheating. Most of us know the obvious red flags—sudden secretive behavior, late-night texts, or “working late” excuses. But what about those who manage to keep affairs hidden for months without raising suspicion?
According to Paul Evans, a private investigator at I-Spy Detectives, there may be one everyday app to blame: your phone’s calendar app.

At first glance, calendar reminders look completely innocent—dentist appointments, client calls, or work meetings. But Evans says these “harmless” entries are often covers for secret meetups.
“On the surface, it looks like a harmless dentist appointment or a work meeting, but when you dig deeper, those entries are often a cover for something else,” Evans told Metro.
How Calendar Apps Are Used to Cheat
Evans explained that cheaters often set up recurring “appointments” in their calendar that never actually relate to work. For example:
- “Team lunch” = meet-up with their affair partner.
- “Client call” = date in a different location each week.
- “Late work meeting” = an easy excuse to get home later than usual.
Since calendar notifications blend seamlessly with work-related schedules, they rarely trigger suspicion from partners who glance at the phone.
“Patterns are the biggest giveaway,” Evans explained. “If your partner is always ‘working late’ on the same night every week without any trace of actual work, that’s worth questioning.”

Other Red Flags Cheaters Can’t Hide
It’s not just digital clues that give cheaters away. Catherine De Noire, a former brothel manager, shared another tell-tale sign: suspicious cash withdrawals.

“A lot of guys don’t carry enough cash,” she told Daily Mail. “So they end up withdrawing money from ATMs near or inside brothels—sometimes even at 4 a.m. If it’s a shared account, those transactions are a huge red flag.”
How to Spot the Signs Without Snooping
You don’t have to turn into a full-time detective to notice when something feels “off.” Experts recommend:
- Look for patterns – recurring late nights, regular “meetings,” or routine unexplained absences.
- Ask questions directly – instead of snooping, bring up the inconsistencies you’ve noticed.
- Trust your gut – intuition often catches what the eyes can’t.
Most affairs eventually unravel, not because of dramatic confessions, but because of the little inconsistencies people fail to cover up.
So, next time your partner suddenly becomes overly busy with “client meetings” or “team dinners,” you might want to take a closer look at that calendar notification.
