Does my husband have a secret life? Am I the other woman (or man)? If you’re asking yourself such questions, your other half may be hiding something. Many people living a double life do so without their partner(s) ever knowing. Your partner may act secretively, hide their phone or spend days away from home without explanation. Hiring a private investigator that offers matrimonial investigation services is sometimes the only way to uncover the truth. At Global Investigations, our detectives are experts in spotting the warning signs of a double life. Today, we’ll explain why some people live secret lives and share five clues to watch out for.

What Does Living a Double Life Mean?

If someone is living a double life, it means they’re leading two very distinct lives, and keeping one hidden from the other. Their ‘secret life’ may involve:

An extramarital affair

A second spouse or family

An addiction (e.g. gambling, shopping or stealing), sometimes resulting in debt or legal trouble

Illegal activities, such as dealing drugs

A secret job (e.g. working as an escort)

A person living a double life will go to any length to hide their secret from their partner. Some people even create a second identity using a false name. Often, they are only caught through professional investigative techniques such as covert surveillance.

What Is the Psychology Behind Living a Double Life?

The urge to live a double life usually stems from deep psychological issues. The person views part of their personality as shameful and cannot reconcile it with their ‘other’ self. For example, their compulsive urge to steal conflicts with their desire to be seen as a good person. They therefore compartmentalise their kleptomania and hide their thievery from those close to them. In other cases, they’re ashamed of their homosexuality or bisexuality. So, they marry someone of the opposite sex while secretly having affairs with people of the same sex. Whatever the reason, living a double life always involves secrecy and deception. They hide a part of themselves out of fear of what will happen if others find out.

How Can You Tell if Someone Lives a Double Life?

If you’re worried about your spouse, girlfriend or boyfriend living a double life, you probably have a gut feeling that something is wrong. People of all genders can have secret lives, and the signs of a woman living a double life are the same as for a man. The only way to find out for certain is to have a private detective conduct matrimonial surveillance. However, these five tell-tale signs might indicate that your partner is hiding something.

1. They’re Often Away from Home

If your partner spends a long time away from home, this may be cause for suspicion. For example, they take regular weekends away for ‘work’ or ‘family’ reasons, and never invite you along. Of course, there could be an innocent explanation. But if you struggle to get hold of them while they’re away, or they won’t tell you their exact whereabouts, they may be living a double life.

2. They Have Unusual Boundaries

It’s healthy to have boundaries in relationships. But does your partner set limits that seem extreme or unreasonable? For example:

Refusing to add you on social media

Not allowing you to meet their family, friends or colleagues

Being unwilling to discuss certain topics, such as their past or finances

If they’re trying to keep you separate from the rest of their life, and can’t explain why, they’re probably hiding something. People living a double life weave complex webs of lies, and sometimes forget what they’ve said to whom. They may share details about their past that differ from what they’ve told you previously. Maybe they’ve changed their story about where they were last weekend. Or perhaps their spending habits don’t match the job and salary they claim to have. In any case, if something doesn’t add up, consider it a warning sign.

4. They’re Extremely Protective of Their Devices

A person living a double life will usually be protective of their devices. For example, they may:

Insist on privacy when using their phone or computer

Turn off their screen when you enter the room

Regularly delete their emails, text messages and browsing history

Refuse to let you use their phone for any reason

They may even have a secret second phone. A private investigator can help if you suspect this to be the case.

5. They Avoid Simple Questions

Often, someone living a double life will avoid basic questions such as where they’ve been or what they’ve been doing. They may give a vague answer, change the subject or even make you feel guilty for asking. When you question their suspicious behaviour or catch them in a lie, they’ll act defensively or even aggressively. They may even gaslight you (cause you to question your memory or sanity).
