Do you suspect your girlfriend is cheating on you? There are some signs of a cheating girlfriend you can keep a lookout for. Even if signs are there, it doesn't mean cheating is actually happening. Nonetheless, here are some things to look out for if you suspect your girlfriend is unfaithful. If you catch it early enough, you may be able to address it and take care of it early, so that it doesn't permanently damage or ruin your relationship. Here are some signs of a cheating girlfriend:

· Previously, your girlfriend talked to you about everything. Now, she barely says two words to you and hasn't for a while.

Has it been a while since your girlfriend and you have sat down for a heart to heart or simply spent the evening watching TV together and having easy conversation throughout? If schedules have suddenly changed so that a new job or other commitment is taking this time away from each of you, that's one thing. However, if this hasn't happened and it used to be that you talked about everything together and now she never says two words to you, beware. She could be getting her needs met elsewhere.

· She dresses attractively -- but not for you.

If your girlfriend slums around the house in old sweats and a T-shirt when you two are together but she's always dressed to the nines whenever she goes out, this could be something to worry about.

· She has lots of conversations on the phone that she ends abruptly whenever you enter the room -- or she is on the computer a lot and quickly closes it down a lot of the time if there's a chance you can see the screen.

It could be that she's simply planning a surprise party for you or that there's some other innocent business going on, true, but if this has been going on for a while, it may very well be that she's thinking about having an affair, or actually having one.

· She spends an awful lot of time away from home or "working" after work hours.

If the two of you always used to spend weekends or a lot of your free time together and that suddenly isn't happening anymore, take note. It could be that she's simply spending some time with friends, true, but it could also be that she's thinking about or actually cheating on you.

· Little intimacies have disappeared from the relationship.

Even if the two of you still make love on a regular basis, look for other clues that your relationship might be deteriorating if you suspect something is wrong. Happy couples usually have little signs of affection they display unconsciously toward each other during the course of the day. For instance, a peck on the cheek, use of endearments such as "honey" peppered throughout the conversation, or affectionate pats, holding hands, and other little signs of affection may be missing. If this is true, be careful. It doesn't necessarily mean an affair is happening, but it could mean that you need to work on your relationship to bring those little touches back so that one doesn't start.

If you see these signs of a cheating girlfriend, the best thing to do is to find out if it's actually happening and why, as soon as possible. If you want to salvage the relationship, the next step may be couples counseling. In addition, if she's cheating on you because you've taken the relationship for granted, you've cheated on her yourself, or some other behavior directly related to you, realize that you're responsible for the cheating, too. And of course, if you're a good and faithful guy who hasn't done any of these things, the responsibility falls on her. Nonetheless, you still need help as a couple if you want to salvage the relationship. That doesn't mean it can be salvaged, but you can certainly try if your girlfriend is interested.

That said, if she has cheated on you simply because she thinks she can and that you'll put up with it, it's really time to move on. No one deserves to have a partner who cheats on him or her. You deserve better, and the best way to tell her so is by giving her the boot.
