Do you suspect that your boyfriend might be using Tinder to meet other women?
If so, your gut feeling might be right because some men and women do use online dating and social media apps to cheat on their partners.
Before the internet age when a boyfriend was cheating on his girlfriend or wife, he was usually caught in the act in a bedroom with his mistress.
However these days, some men and women use online dating apps like Tinder or Bumble to cheat.
Often women that sleep with a cheater don’t realize that a guy is in a relationship because he may go by a different name or lie about his relationship status.
However, there are also women that don’t mind that the guy is already taken or actually prefer to sleep with married men.
Luckily, or unluckily for him, there are ways to find out if your boyfriend has been using Tinder to meet other women.
