To get your partner to admit that they’re cheating, ask them a direct question that they can't avoid answering, such as “Where were you last night?” While it's tempting, try not to respond to every statement with a question or comment, since they need space to admit what they’ve done. When you do question your partner, ask open questions, which don’t have a yes or no answer to get more details. Once you’ve learned some details about what your partner did, check if they're accurate by talking to friends or colleagues. For example, if your partner says they were out for drinks with a friend, ask the friend if that was true. If you feel confident that your partner is cheating, try confronting them directly by saying something like, “Is there something you want to tell me about?” and include the person’s name.
