This is how someone behaves when they’re already in another relationship, but they won’t admit it

By Vitia

When someone starts a new relationship without having completely ended the previous one, their behavior often gives them away, even if they try to hide it. Small gestures, changes in their routine, and evasive attitudes become clear signs that something is being left unsaid.

Recognizing these behaviors can help you understand the situation and protect your emotional well-being.

The following describes some signs that reveal this type of unhealthy behavior.

Signs that she’s already in another relationship

1. Sudden changes in your availability:

Suddenly, they no longer have time like before: their phone battery dies, they take forever to reply to messages, or they invent unexpected commitments. The strange thing is that these excuses are constantly repeated.

2. He becomes very secretive about his cell phone:

The phone becomes a private object: they keep it face down, take it even to the bathroom, and never leave it in plain sight. This excessive care usually indicates that there’s something they don’t want you to see.

3. Their interest in you decreases:

You notice that they no longer show the same enthusiasm in communication, avoid deep conversations, and displays of affection become scarce or forced. It seems as if their thoughts are elsewhere.

4. Distinct appearance and habits:

Suddenly, they become more concerned about their physical appearance, change their style, start using new perfumes, or take an interest in activities that previously held no appeal for them. These changes are often linked to impressing someone else.

5. Evasive body language:

When you ask her where she’s been or who she went out with, she answers vaguely or gets annoyed by your curiosity. Her gestures show nervousness; she avoids eye contact or quickly changes the subject.

6. Lack of joint projects:

He used to talk about future plans with you, but now he avoids commitments and can’t seem to imagine a long-term relationship with you. This emotional distance may reflect that he’s already developing expectations with someone else.

What should you do if you detect these signs?

If you notice several of these behaviors, the healthiest approach is to speak directly and calmly. Avoid immediate reproach; the important thing is to gain clarity and decide whether it’s worth continuing the relationship. Remember that you deserve to be in an honest and transparent relationship!
