I've read on this site somewhere that once two people are engaged in intercourse with a condom, the male should not "withdraw" because it causes the protection to no longer be protective. However, I was curious as to how couples go about "changing positions" during sex without the hassle of worrying about the condom falling off all the time... or are you supposed to just stay relatively still?

Also, is there anyway to tell "during sex" if a condom has slipped off? Would you feel it? Would the guy feel it? With all the wetness happening "down there," it seemed pretty hard to tell and I began to worry. Then again, maybe I'm just paranoid.

It's not as complicated as you're imagining.

You or your partner simply hold the base of the condom as he withdraws and as he re-enters.

In terms of slipping, it's a good idea now and then just to reach down and check the condom is still in place. Again, it's not a big deal.
