Ask Tiamat:  Is My Boyfriend Cheating On Me? 

Boy, this seemed to be the week for relationship questions. We are doing the column this week as a regular post as I have had to go into work all week and lack the set up in the office there to do a proper video recording.  I sorted through the submissions and this one stuck out the most:

Dear Tiamat,

I have been with my boyfriend now for close to 4 years. We live together and I thought he was getting ready to pop the question. But the last couple weeks he has been different - working late, checking his email constantly, just acting strange. Should I be worried that he is cheating on me?

Signed,
Suspicious in San Fransisco



This fully loaded question kept jumping to the top of the pile. Everytime I picked up my notebook, this seemed to be the page it fell open to. And who am I to ignore when the universe is trying to tell me something, right?

So Suspicious, I know how unsettling it can be when you are in a long term committed relationship and it seems like things are going sour. You start overanalyzing every little thing they say and do - and it can consume you. So let's see if we can't get you some answers.  I will be using the Gilded Reviere Lenormand deck for you.


Oh dear, I am sorry to say that it is not looking good. The Scythe and the Storks tell me that he is getting restless, and is getting ready to cut his losses. Once he makes that choice to go, it will be a very abrupt departure. This person that he has met is one that he sees frequently in social and work situations (the Garden and the Tower), and it has been going on for some time now. If you really want to save yourself some heartache, cut him off at the pass. Leave him before he leaves you - and hold your head high because you deserve so much better!
