re: Signs that your wife/GF is cheating on IG?

Well watch out for those things I listed and good luck!
My buddy started wearing a bracelet and it raised the suspicion of his wife who quickly uncovered his affair.
Trust your gut. If you are getting vibes that she is cheating on you then I wouldn’t discount them. (Unless you are having an affair. Often people who are cheating suspect their partner of doing the same thing)

Thank you!
But I don’t fully trust my gut. I once had a for sure gut feeling, turned out my suspicion was so wrong it was humiliating. And why? Because my anxiety/insecurity and the like taint a lot of things.

With all the details, given that if IG didn’t exist (if I didn’t have an account), then everything seems fine - no signs.
With that being said, does that pretty much void my concern? Thank you.

Then I would advise you to try and “trust but verify”.
Maybe seek the advice of a counselor who can help you identify the source of the insecurity. Could be something from childhood or something you aren’t even remembering.
I’m 51 and I’m just starting to understand why I act the way I do and think the way I do. Usually there’s a reason once you understand the reason you can better control it vs having it control you.

I haven’t read the whole thread. Is she communicating with random dudes on IG?
If so that’s a pretty big violation and means that if she hasn’t yet then she’s just waiting for the right opportunity. One doesn’t go to the barber shop unless one is looking to get a haircut.
But I get spams from random people on IG all the time. They are scams. I will sometimes screenshot them to my wife so she knows and isn’t alarmed if she stumbles on them.

12 years ago, I told my wife I think life would be better without socials. She deleted them all and hasn’t mentioned it since. I never told her to but apparently she’s a pretty awesome person.

I know one thing driving it is that my ex cheated on me on IG with her ex emotionally (probably did physically at some point too). She would message him on IG while she were around me and then try to conceal her phone when I would be in view of it. It was obvious (she had started mentioning her ex too, almost every weekend we spent together she’d say “oh my ex can’t find a job” or “my ex told me that”.
I feel this a “me” problem and that my fears are unnecessary.

I have started talking to a therapist.
She’s laid out framework to help navigate unwarranted fears and preventing them from getting into the anxiety loop.
She also said (because I asked for her opinion): that is doesn’t sound like your GF is cheating and that I have nothing to worry about.
Also, she said why in the hell would someone fly from NY to Texas, spend 2-6 weeks here at a time, buy tickets with her own money (which she is very limited of), and talk about the future and so many other things if she were secretly messing around.

Buddy, she is probably not cheating. Let me ask you this: Did you get these feelings about the other girls you dated? Maybe it’s just catastrophe syndrome in you.

I would agree with you 99% of the time. But I had a friend who was sure his wife was cheating. He hired a PI to check on her. After a couple of months, PI says she's not doing anything. So he hired another PI. That one comes back an confirms she's a boring lady who wasn't sleeping around.
Either she hooked up with both PIs (I met one of them, I doubt it) and they kept her secret, or she didn't do anything.

well, if your wife is active on Instagram, it’s a safe bet she’s probably cheating.

Make a fake profile and honey trap her. Feel it out.
Other than a friend of hers ratting or her coming clean or you teasing her texts there is no other way to tell.

Not communicating, that I know of.
In a nutshell:
She’s from Taiwan, moved to NYc 3 years ago to be with family. She speaks so-so English, at best. All her NY friends are Asian and speak mandarin or Cantonese. She has 500 IG followers. One of them is Ukrainian and a software engineer in NYC. No mutual friends, no mentions, and nothing in common. I first noticed the follower 6-7 months ago (I had only looked at her followers list two previous times - April 2024 and October 2024). My GF hadn’t made any public posts to IG until this week (her last two posts were in May 2025). One post was of a tree and the other was Halloween of her and her family in costumes. The Ukrainian “liked” both. The Ukrainian has 210 followers and follows 500 or so people. Important note: My Gf has showed zero signs of cheating. She comes to TX for weeks at a time, buys plane tickets with her own money, talks about a future together, puts in effort calling/texting, cooks for me and on and on.

It’s hypothetical
I’m just asking what are signs (besides the obvious, DMs with men)
Yes, it’s little D energy. It’s an insecurity issue that I need professional help with.
This ought to help then, if her love canal is all racked out next time you get in there that is a sure tell sign some dude with a hammer has been laying the pipe to your wife/GF

That’s great that you are taking charge and it sounds like your therapist is probably right!
And if I may add some additional advice:

People will follow me and like shite as a way to get you to follow back or they are trying to sell something. It doesn’t mean anything.
Thinking your girl is cheating is like people who follow conspiracy theories. There are always some random dots you can connect and make it seem like something is going on behind your back. It can drive you crazy if you let it. At a certain point you’re just going to have to let your guard down.
Asian gals always struck me as being mostly loyal. But I don’t have a ton of experience with them but that was always my sense.

Well I had weird feelings about my ex (but she was actually showing signs, like texting her ex around me then concealing the messages, and then there being less condoms in the box one time and then her jumping all over me to make me forget once I mentioned it).
And you’re probably right on catastrophe syndrome. I was almost going to ask, “do you mean probably as in 51% sure or 99.9% sure?”

Very true. Well put.
The guy is real and all but what you’re saying I absolutely agree with.

Sounds like you got a good one. I did as well.
Only thing my wife does on social media is hunt deals on marketplace…which is an issue of another sort but she can look for furniture and handbags all day if she isn’t looking for dick!
