It could be completely innocent.

Unless there is mayonnaise and rope involved. Then probably not.

So now all a cheating spouse has to do is read this list and avoid doing any of those things!

Going to have to think about whether mr. union maid does any of those things. Oh, hell, whatever...

Because I would be oblivious to the majority of those things in your list, and it would be prohibitively expensive to do the rest (i.e., sending gifts, not to mention more gifts, across the Pacific.)

And my best friend doesn't live over there!

10. The 3 biggest clues

1. Loses weight or starts getting in better shape.

2. Buys new/fancier underwear.

3. Showers away from home.

In my years as a PI, whenever a spouse was suspected of cheating I'd ask the client about those 3 things. Most of the time 1-3 were spot on, but just doing these does not mean they are cheating. Cheaters usually leave lots of clues.

12. The hi-bye phone calls

They might do the cell phone from a car call, or call when they know you won't have time.

They get "credit" for calling but can end the call quickly.

Sort of like the Seinfeld episode where George's parents use a phony Chinese food delivery to end the call with him.
