How To Know if a Boyfriend is Married

You think your Mr. Right may already have a Mrs. Right. You want to be sure you're his one and only and not the other woman. Most likely, he's not going to tell you he's married -- so you'll have to find out for yourself. The easiest way to tell is if he's wearing a ring, but rings are easily removed. The best way to find out for sure is to hire a private investigator or to become one yourself.

The following are some steps to take to find out whether your boyfriend is married. You want hard evidence, and if you have reasonable doubt and see signs he may be married (he won't take you to his house, he's never available on holidays, or he won't introduce you to his friends or family) these steps are worth taking before too much time, emotional energy, and money have been wasted.

The first step is to check his private areas. Search his car, closets, briefcase, wastebaskets, and clothes for letters, receipts (especially gift receipts of items you never received or receipts from stores in other cities), plane tickets, photos, videotapes, etc.

Online information is very valuable; however, online data is often protected by passwords. To gain access to online information, get a keystroke recorder. They are simple to use and very effective. It goes into the keyboard and records anything typed--incoming or outgoing. This includes passwords, emails, and online chat logs. The cost runs from $20 to $90, or you can download a free trial from a website.

Check public records for marriage records. Records are available at the courthouse, city hall, or even online from websites such as publicrecordfinder.com.

More extreme measures include shadowing him by car or on foot. If you decide to follow him by car, rent or burrow an ordinary car--one that will not draw attention. Do not use a car with bumper stickers, magnets, or anything else that would make it suspicious or memorable.

Use undercover cameras that can be placed in his car or possessions. They are often wireless, record audio as well as video, and are disguised to look like common items such as pens, clocks, or key chains. There are even cameras that look like rear-view mirrors that can record visuals either inside or outside the car.

Following these steps will help you discover if your boyfriend is married. Knowing where to search as well as using the right equipment is essential to your search for answers.
