How to perform a discreet partner check to avoid potential danger
At the start of a new relationship, it can be easy to view your new partner through rose-tinted lenses – but are they really who they say they are?
It has been estimated that one out of every 100 people is a clinical psychopath, with many more suffering from personality disorders, some of which go undiagnosed. Such behaviours often go under the radar, due in part to the manipulative nature of the sociopath – such people initially appear charming (and in some cases almost perfect) only to use tactics to grind their victims down, some techniques so insidious that the victim begins to believe their aggressor is doing the right thing.
In an era where online dating is becoming an increasingly attractive proposition to single professionals, it can often be difficult to gauge whether a potential new partner has a troubled past – all it takes is a new profile in a new town and “the gift of the gab” for a dangerous person to work their way into your life.
Although it may seem like a drastic measure, taking the tentative steps to hire a private detective could prevent days, weeks, months or even years of misery – or even worse.
It may seem like a drastic step, but it’s important to value your safety. If you suspect that a current or potential partner may have a violent past or an undesirable history, it makes sense to find out as soon as possible rather than risk your life or livelihood. That’s not to say that your current partner isn’t perfect – although it’s a sad indictment of our times that requesting a check via the official channels has the potential to ruin what could be the ideal relationship. This is where the services of one or more private detective investigators can help.
A skilled private investigator should possess the ability to discreetly look into the past of a current or existing partner; the results of such an investigation can then be passed on to you in confidence.
One thing is for certain: it’s better to be safe than sorry. If you suspect that your partner has an unsavoury past, it’s advisable to act sooner rather than later.
