A lot of people in relationships get doubts about their partner

According to “State of Us: National Study on Modern Love & Dating in 2025,” nearly half (48%) of singles have suspected their partner was cheating on them at some point in the past. Women were more likely to report suspicion of cheating than men — 54% vs. 43%.

Among those who suspected foul play, 85% said they did something about it, including 32% who immediately confronted their partner about it.

Going no contact with your ex might help. As the phrase implies, the rule is about cutting off all communications with your ex after a breakup. This includes not engaging in phone calls, texting, direct messages and “likes” on social media, and in-person meetups. Some even argue that looking at their social media posts is considered off limits.

“In addition to no direct contact with your previous partner, it also means not following up with mutual friends to gather any form of information about their lives,” says Leanna Stockard, LMFT at LifeStance Health.

While you inevitably will think of your ex-partner from time to time, eliminating contact and ceasing innocent “check-ins” can help reduce how much your mind wanders back to them and your relationship. It can also help prevent confusing feelings for both of you.
