Catch Cheating

Catch Cheating · a private record kept at night

What have you actually noticed?

This is an 18-question record of the specific things you have observed. Not an investigation. Nothing is sent anywhere. You answer, you get a weighted count and a suggested next step.

Start the questions

The four areas

  • Communication & story

    What they say about where they are, and how it changes.

  • Phone & privacy

    How they guard the device, and what they let you see.

  • Time & routine

    Where the hours go, and what stops showing up.

  • Closeness & distance

    How near you feel, and whether that changed.

18 observations · weighted out of 44

The ledger, whole 18 observations · 44 of 44 points
Where the ledger's points sit, and how many observations carry an ordinary explanation A band of 44 points divided across four categories: Communication & story, 11 points from 4 observations. Phone & privacy, 13 points from 5 observations. Time & routine, 11 points from 5 observations. Closeness & distance, 9 points from 4 observations. Below it, one tick per observation that ships an ordinary explanation: 18 of 18. 11 Communication & story 4 observations 13 Phone & privacy 5 observations 11 Time & routine 5 observations 9 Closeness & distance 4 observations weight — how far an observation narrows things down 44 18 of 18 ship an ordinary explanation

Weight is how far an observation narrows things down — how few ordinary explanations survive it — not how much it indicates cheating. A result is a count out of 44, never a percentage and never a verdict. Every one of the 18 carries a real, non-dismissive explanation for why it happens in relationships where nobody is cheating. That is the point of the list, not a disclaimer attached to it.

A page, a lamp, and whatever you actually saw.

What this is not: it does not analyse anything about your partner, it does not look into their accounts, and it does not hand you a conclusion. It helps you separate what you have actually noticed from what you fear.
