Most cheaters, male or female, can be easily caught on New Year's Eve. Infidelity expert Ruth Houston, who is frequently called on by the media to comment on popular infidelity issues in the news explains why this is true and how it can be done.

Infidelity studies and surveys have shown that 75% of people involved in illicit affairs are cheating on their mates with workmates or friends.  "Based on this" says Houston, who has been researching infidelity for over 20 years, "the likelihood is extremely high that the cheater's affair partner is someone the spouse or significant other knows.  It may be a neighbor, a co-worker, or even a family friend."

Houston points out that in situations like this, it's not unusual for the cheater, their secret lover, and the cheater's spouse or significant other to find themselves attending same party on New Year's Eve.  "This represents a golden opportunity for the suspicious mate," says Houston.  " But regardless of whether or not this happens, New Year's Eve presents a unique opportunity get the goods on a cheater or confirm a suspected affair  because the cheater's behavior around midnight will give him or her away.  Knowing what to look for is the key."

A recent post on Ruth Houston's Infidelity Advice blog entitled How to Catch Your Cheating Mate on New Year's Eve gives further details on  the telltale signs  a person who suspects their mate of infidelity should be alert for on New Year's Eve.    A post on Houston's Real Life Infidelity blog entitled How 6 Cheaters Got Caught on New Year's Eve gives six  brief "real-life" accounts of how specific New Year's Eve telltale signs, exposed 6 illicit affairs.

However, Houston cautions men and women who suspect infidelity not to confront their mate solely on the basis of anything seen or heard on New Year's Eve.  "Signs of infidelity never exist in isolation," says Houston. " I can't emphasize strongly enough that if a person is really cheating on his or her mate, there will always be multiple signs. Since so many signs of infidelity are subtle, knowing what to look for is the key.  That's why it's wise to invest in a good infidelity reference book."
