Betrayal, or cheating, is one of the most damaging events in a relationship. While some couples manage to recover, many do not. Whether they stay together or not, repairing the trust can be challenging. A private investigator recently shed light on the behaviors of men who cheat, offering insights into common patterns and motives.

Some people, acting on intuition, confront their partners directly when they suspect infidelity. This approach, though bold, often raises more questions than answers. Others seek concrete evidence before addressing the issue, and this is where private investigators often step in.

Ray Ranno, a Connecticut-based investigator, shared his experiences from observing suspected male cheaters. He noted a consistent behavior: before meeting their lover, many men ensure their car is spotless. Speaking on the “Locked In with Ian Bick” podcast, Ranno said, “If a guy is going to see his mistress, he wants a clean car.” According to him, men frequently visit car washes before their rendezvous, a pattern less commonly seen in women.
