Signs of a cheating spouse infographic
Recently, PInow surveyed their network of trusted infidelity investigators to find out what their experience has revealed to be the most common signs of a cheating spouse. The results were displayed in an infographic, titled "Signs of a Cheating Spouse." Process servers who offer investigative services may find the data compelling.
What is an infographic?
An infographic is a visual representation of statistics and data through charts, diagrams, images and other visual comparisons. Information that is presented in a visually dynamic way is easier to comprehend than when in written format.
6 common signs of a cheating spouse
