 Partner
working late again? |
 When
partner shows you a text message, do they flick rapidly through four or five old

 Does
partner become restless and hovering when you're use their computer? Do they spend
several minutes minimising windows and closing email programs before you can sit
down? |

Yoga. Healthy eating. Partner has suddenly stopped letting themselves go. Inevitable
slide into mid-life paunchiness halted. |
| Heard
any of the following phrases recently? "...not you - me", "friends"
and "No, I'm just tired" |
| Partner
suddenly knowledgeable about IRC, chatrooms, and forums. Refers to Cybersex casually
as "cyber" and uses broad vocabulary of emoticons never used in emails
to you |
| A
particular friend of yours suddenly starts visiting your house more often that
strictly necessary. Can't look you in the eye. |
| Partner
takes hours and several fretful changes of clothes to get ready for a "couple
of drinks" with "some mates from work" |
| Friends
seem overly considerate of you, constantly asking how you are, and exchanging
looks with each other when around you? |
| At
one in the morning, are you suddenly awoken by sound of partner coming in, cleaning
teeth, showing and washing pants in sink? |
| Strange
but familiar looking stain on partner's top |
| You
keep finding rambling, depressed poetry on odd pieces of paper around the house |
