It’s a tough task being a parent, especially when you are raising a teenager. They tend to become more reclusive and spend time with their peers. It’s also an age when they start experimenting with romance. The best way to know if your daughter is having an affair is by asking her upfront. However, be certain about it by considering these factors first.
1. She is glued to her phone
The biggest giveaway clue should be huge phone bills and her long time phone usage. You see her head buried in her phone or her ear glued to it. She is constantly messaging and talking on the phone more than usual. This sudden urge to communicate so much could stem from an active love life.
2. She has become busier
She is out of the house everyday doing something or the other. She seems to have become busier all of a sudden even though her school or college routine is almost the same as before.
3. She has become secretive
The more you try to talk to her, the more she seems to be hiding. She talks to you only when necessary or for small talk, not exactly revealing what she does through the day.
4. She is fiercely protective of her phone and other gadgets
Once upon a time, her phone, laptop or tablet would be lying around the house, free for anyone to see. She wouldn’t care if others checked out her gadgets. But recently she has started to hold them close to her, and has become quite protective of them, not allowing others to touch it sans her permission. There could be messages and photos of him that she doesn’t want others to see and thence chance upon knowing about her affair.
5. She keeps mentioning the name of a particular boy
There is a particular male friend of her whose name you have started hearing often, from her or her friends. She mentions him time and again and you find her talking to and messaging him. Her social networking web page shows increased interaction with this guy and the two also have photos together.
6. You have caught her lying
You have caught her lying about going out with friends when actually she wasn’t with them. She has lied about bunking school or college or about being single. If you have seen her lie more than a couple of times then, it’s time to have an honest, calm and frank discussion with her about what is going on.
