I would first try to figure out if this suspicion is a result of you or your partner.

If you are an insecure person at heart, you might look for reasons to be suspicious where it's not warranted.

If your partner is acting uncharacteristically, then this might be making you feel this way.

I would try to ascertain which it is first before you tackle it.

If you lack confidence, then it may be worth seeking some help with any personal issues that might be making you think the worst of your partner, like some counselling. This will help you to explore the root cause of any anxieties you have that might be making you doubt your partner.

If you feel it is your partner then it might be worth talking to them about your relationship and telling them what you've noticed and how it's made you feel. There may be a reasonable explanation for their behaviour, however there may be more to discuss here.
