People who have been cheated on - what were the red flags you ignored at first?

The very first one, she texted me at 7pm, then not again until almost 1am. She's not normally up that late & if she is, she would've been texting me.

So I asked what made her get home so late & she said she didn't. I wasn't there so I couldn't confirm that. I chose to believe her. Then this past weekend I found out that same night I had that feeling, was the night it happened 😒
