Men detect infidelity better than women
However, Paul Andrews of Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, said to counter this constant vigilance, women may be better than men at concealing illicit liaisons,
Andrews and colleagues gave 203 young heterosexual couples confidential questionnaires asking them whether they had ever strayed, and whether they suspected or knew their partner had strayed.
The study, published in Human Nature, found that 29 percent of the men said they had cheated and 18.5 percent of the women said they had cheated.
"Eighty percent of women's inferences about fidelity or infidelity were correct, but men were even better, accurate 94 percent of the time," Andrews said in a statement.
The men were also more likely to discern when a partner is cheating, detecting 75 percent of the reported infidelities compared with 41 percent by the women, New Scientist reported.

As a chronic pain sufferer I have noticed that I've been able to detect when my wife is keeping stressful information from me so I imagine that I would be able to detect other issues as well if anything else were to happen.
