Men who are “too nice” to their other half spark fears that they are cheating, a new study has found.

Researchers of the study that two thirds of women become suspicious if their partner suddenly has “new tricks” in the bedroom, makes grand romantic gestures or even if he makes them breakfast in bed.

Other triggers for suspicion amongst mistrusting wives and girlfriends are if their man treats them to jewellery or sexy underwear.

According to the poll of 2,000 adults conducted by Kellogg’s, even helping out with housework leads to millions of females to believe her chap is “playing away”.

A third of women said they would be happy to turn a blind eye to a minor indiscretion if it meant that their partner was nicer to live with.

“It seems there is an emotional gulf between the sexes when it comes to matters of the heart,” the Daily Mail quoted Louise Thompson Davies, a spokesman from Kellogg’s as saying.

“So when men think they are just being nice and showering their other half with gifts and affection they think they are being attentive but the reality is that women just don’t see it like that.

“Today’s work and life pressures have resulted in romantic gestures like makingyour wife or girlfriend breakfast in bed much more of a rare occasion.

“This is why most women tend to reach for the panic button and suspect the worst when they are made a fuss over.

“The smallest changes in a man’s behaviour can set a women’s mind whirring and get them worrying.

“But it’s interesting to see how many women would be willing to ignore their suspicions and just enjoy having a new more attentive partner.

“It seems that for some women having a romantic and thoughtful partner is more important than having one that is faithful,” Davies said.

The study also found that surprise gifts of chocolates would instantly cause concern for most women, with one in six women saying that their partner has given them a gift in the past because of a guilty conscience.

The top 20 things that make women suspicious are:
- Buys jewellery

- New moves in the bedroom

- More emotional

- Buys flowers

- Buys chocolates

- More attentive

- Buys sexy underwear

- Book a romantic weekend away

- Buys you more things

- Helps more with the chores

- Tells you he loves you more

- Makes breakfast in bed

- Pays more compliments

- Texts more

- Does the cooking

- Calls more

- Listens better

- Runs baths

- Hand over the TV remote

- Cuddles more

Today we have Ogo and Emeka’s pre-wedding shoot by Keith Cephus Photography. Ogo and Emeka met through a mutual friend while he was visiting the U.S.A.

How they Met
From the bride:
Emeka and I were introduced to each other by his cousin while he was visiting the United States.  We had an instant connection which blossomed into so much that even the Atlantic Ocean could not separate us from one other.  After three and a half months of daily phone calls, endless Skype sessions, and countless Whatsapp messages, he flew me into London and officially asked me to be his girlfriend.

Thanks to our faith in God, we have coordinated a long distance relationship going back and forth between Europe and the United States.  He surprised me at my birthday dinner with his presence and a proposal, so of course I said “Yes!”  Well according to the guests, I said “I Do!”  Due to the complexity of our relationship with the distance, I wanted our engagement session concept to reflect us; our trials and tribulations with having a long distance relationship that despite the odds yielded in a successful and solid union.  Hence the concept, “By air, by land, and by sea…our Love goes the distance.”  No matter where we physically are, our hearts are always with each other.

Our love has no sense of time, place, and distance.  I am grateful that Keith Cephus Photography allowed our vision to become a reality with his AMAZING work.  He was so excited when I discussed our concept with him and he contributed with his artistic talent and we are so very pleased with the end result.  Thank you so much Keith!
