Catch your cheating husband AFTER Christmas by following the paper trail

If your husband is cheating, it goes without saying, that he probably bought his mistress a Christmas gift.

Regardless of how that gift was paid for - whether it was by cash, check or credit card, his purchase of her gift has left a paper trail.

Use this information to your advantage, if you suspect infidelity, or if you want proof that your husband is having an affair. See How Christmas Gifts Led to the Discovery of 3 Extramarital Affairs and 5 Ways Christmas Gifts Can Expose Your Cheating Mate – What To Look For

What the Paper Trail Can Tell You about His Mistress’s Christmas Gift

Store receipts, charge slips, credit card bills, ATM withdrawal slips, and bank statements, all contain valuable clues, including

what was bought
where the transaction took place (location)
when the transaction took place (date and time of day)
how much money was withdrawn, or spent

Where to Look

Since most men tend to be careless with receipts, you probably won’t have to look very hard to find tangible evidence that your husband bought his mistress a Christmas gift.

Men casually stuff receipts into their pockets and forget to take them out.

Or they absently-mindedly empty their pockets, and toss everything on top of the dresser, the night stand, or in the garbage.

What to Look For

Keep your eyes peeled for a store receipt or a credit card charge slip from a jewelry store, women’s boutique or specialty shop, a lingerie store or catalog (like Victoria’s Secret), or something along those lines.

To simplify their Christmas shopping, or in a misguided attempt to cover their tracks, some cheating men will buy their wife and their mistress the very same gift. If the receipt shows that duplicate gifts were bought, and you received one, who did he give the other one to? NOTE: Before accusing him of cheating, make sure a family member wasn’t the recipient of the other gift.

For more information on how duplicate gifts can expose a cheating husband, see the second half of the article entitled Mistresses Get More Expensive Christmas Gifts Than Wives

BONUS TIP: If the Christmas gift was an online purchase sent directly to his mistress, the receipt probably contains her name and address.

Double check the price on the receipt to see if it corresponds with the value of the Christmas gift you received from your husband, this year. See How 5 Wives Discovered Infidelity AFTER Christmas by Following the Paper Trail

If he paid more for this Christmas gift than he paid for yours, that could be an important clue. Cheating men usually spend more on their mistress’s Christmas gift. See Mistresses Get More Expensive Christmas Gifts Than Wives

On most receipts, you’ll find a brief description of the item that was bought. Was it totally different from the Christmas gift you received? For other tips, see To Catch a Cheater On Christmas Day Be Alert for the Following Signs
