Sex can be just a physical act, while true intimacy is harder to fake. This may only be a pink flag, though, "if he's not the touchy-feely type or if he's stressed," cautions Nancy B. Irwin, PsyD, a therapist in Los Angeles. But if he's always been loving and you don't know why he'd be anxious, tell him you miss his touch and ask if something's wrong. "If he denies any change, then the pink flag's turned red," says Dr. Irwin. 7. He's got vices. Whether he drinks too much, dabbles in drugs or has a gambling problem, "he doesn't understand self-discipline, so he believes he can get away with things," notes Tina B. Tessina, PhD, author of .Then there's this: Partiers by definition hang out—when their inhibitions have been lowered—where it's easy to pick up women. Your defense? "Take good emotional care of yourself, and stop pretending he's your knight in shining armor," says Dr. Tessina. 8. He's charming. And not just to your mother. If people often observe, "He could charm the pants off anyone!" he may be doing just that. We all start out figuring out how to circumvent rules, smiling at Mommy so she won't be mad that we threw our toys. But most men grow out of that. Unlike Anthony Weiner. "He does outrageous things that can ruin his career, then tries to charm his way out of it," notes Dr. Tessina. Her advice: "Keep him on notice that you will leave any time he's not holding up his end of the bargain. Respond positively when you're getting what you want from him, and don't react at all when you don't." 9. He's powerful. Think Eliot Spitzer, Bill Clinton, Tiger Woods, Arnold Schwarzenegger and yes, Mr. Weiner. Studies show that men who perceive themselves as powerful are more likely to be unfaithful. "Power, it appears, can be a strong aphrodisiac and make men feel invincible," says Andee Harris, a certified life coach and founder of BedroomChemist.com. The best ways to keep your CEO or senior partner from straying is to stay physically connected, tell him how attracted you are to him and nag less often. If you think your efforts have failed, "confront him with whatever evidence you have, whether physical or circumstantial, and demand honesty," suggests Harris.

What better way to keep you from calling him on suspicious behavior than by making you second-guess yourself? Nitpicking is especially suspicious if he was never bothered by your weight, housekeeping habits or job before. If he shows no other signs of cheating, "tell him clearly how much hearing his feelings spoken in such a critical way hurts you," suggests Dr. Walfish. But if you feel pretty sure there's another woman, "approach your man with your hunch. If he owns up, shows genuine remorse and gets himself into therapy, there's hope. Staunch denial may mean you should go to a therapist to help you extract yourself from this toxic relationship," advises Dr. Walfish.
