Infidelity can be a sensitive topic, but some individuals use clever tactics to hide their relationships from their spouses or partners.

According to various reports, women are more likely to use aliases to save their partner's number, often using their own names or those of their relatives.

Some common tactics include:

  • Using a female name as a cover-up, such as 'Kate Wa Salon.'
  • Saving their partner under a relative's name, like 'Cousin Mike.'
  • Using a single letter to avoid raising suspicions, for example, 'P.'
  • Employing initials, like 'P.M' or 'J.N.'

Men, on the other hand, often use more creative aliases, such as:

  • 'The mechanic guy,' like 'Njoro Mechanic.'
  • 'The barber guy,' like 'Brian Kinyozi.'
  • 'Supplier,' like 'Njoroge supplier.'
  • Even the location where their partner lives, making it difficult to suspect infidelity.

It's essential to be aware of these tactics and to communicate openly with your partner to avoid any misunderstandings.
