It is very unusual for him . We 've been living together for almost one year and he would never do it by himself. I am suspicious because I have changed the sheets before I left for holiday :(Don't get me wrong,he is very clean man - he cooks clean and do washing, but he never cleans the bedroom.Before we moved in together his mum would changed his sheets because he hated doing it.even when linen was obviously dirty, he would wait for his mum to change it..Am I right to feel suspicious towards him ? What should I do?

It's possible you will find more conclusive clues than bed sheets. It's also possible he did just wash the sheets for some other innocent reason.
For example I've washed mine because the cat puked on them or something. Even the most non-domesticated man is not going to sleep in that!
Only you know your boyf and how your relationship is. Do you have other suspicions or is everything good between you?

If he hasn't given you any legitimate reason to suspect he's cheating then let it pass. As others have stated, if he was cheating then there would be far more serious signs such as changes in his behavior.

I think if he is cheating, you should be able to find more than suspicious bed sheet activity. Something like overly private phone behavior, unnecessary arguments, etc.

 You suspect him over him washing sheets? Because he is not usually a "domestic" guy?
Have you considered that he might have done it because he HAD to do something while you were gone and thought, fresh clean sheet might be nice? (he washed them but forgot to put them back on) ?
He probably didn't recall that you changed them before going on holiday.
If there are NO other "clues"/"hints" that he could be cheating, I would NOT presume he was cheating over freshly washed sheets.

I wouldn't suspect cheating just because of this.
Have you been away before? Does he normally tidy around ready for when you're back?
