Cheating: Instinct and too much attention
1. Your intuition
His behaviour: Suspecting that something's up is often the first sign for many women. Admittedly intuition isn't anything that your fella is actually doing, but you know that something doesn't feel quite right - often you've spotted some of the other signs sub-consciously.
The innocent explanation: Quite simply, your intuition could be wrong. Do you talk to each other enough? Perhaps he's going through a stressful time.
The guilty reason: Hunches have been proved to be correct more often than not. If instinct is telling you that he could be playing away, then keep your eyes and ears open for some of the other signs.
2. He's over-attentive
His behaviour: He spends more time being interested in you than normal. Perhaps, he buys you gifts unexpectedly or starts helping look after the children more than normal. He may even start doing more around the house, ironing, washing, or those niggly DIY jobs that have been left unfinished for months.
The innocent explanation: Have you been going through a bad patch recently? Your fella could have decided to make more of an effort in order to get things back on track - positive thinking is important in relationships.
The guilty reason: He's feeling guilty and wants to make up for the fact that he's having an affair. This sort of thing often happens in the early stages of an affair.
