The warning signs: changes in behavior, etc. Just trust your gut - your gut was telling you something was up, and it was. I'm not saying to leap to the conclusion that she was cheating as in this case, but trust that *something* is interfering with the flow here, and you need to investigate. Perhaps it's more prevalent in the younger women... but I suspect that people in general want the other person to notice and ask. We're all kind of bad at offering this kind of question and concern to a partner.
However... it seems to be a rather honest interaction. She wasn't trying to play you, nor you her, there didn't seem to be any games involved... just poor communication leading to the breakup etc.
Ha, well, yes, there's the rub.... trust your instincts, and COMMUNICATE.
I think I need to tattoo that on my forehead or something.....
I'm sorry about the breakup - but you really seem to be handling it well. At least there's that.
