Wandering eyes

4. Constant connection: Is his iPhone ringing off the hook but he never seems to answer it when you're around? Or, when he does answer will he try to get off as quickly as possible? In this time and age, we're all guilty of being overly connected to our electronic devices, says Cunningham, but if your beau is constantly checking his buzzing Blackberry, you may want to find out who is trying to get in touch with him so badly.

5. Defending his defences: Most of the time, both men and women get defensive when they have something to hide, but if your guy is ranting a serious diatribe on why he was so late coming home one night, your suspicions may not be entirely unfounded. Worse yet, if the conversation turns where he's accusing you of trying to check up on him and that escalates into a fight, it could be a sign he's doing something he doesn't want you to know about.

6. Intimacy issues: This is the most clear indicator that there are problems in paradise. If Sunday morning cuddling has become a thing of the past, you need to be forthright with him to find out why that's no longer happening, suggests Cunningham. Even if he's not cheating on you, losing that intimate connection with your partner is a sure sign that that lovin' feeling is potentially wavering. Men desire affection just like we do, so if you're not giving it to him maybe another woman is. Also of note, says Cunningham, is a change in bedroom behaviour: If he's suddenly suggesting new things that you've never tried before -- or even discussed as a couple -- he may be learning these tricks elsewhere.
