Opinion, statement, certainty

se douter que

Indicative

Example

Je me doutais qu'il ne viendrait pas.

Do not write

Je me doutais qu'il ne vienne pas.

Why

A LOOKALIKE TRAP. Se douter que does not mean to doubt: it means to suspect, to guess. The fact is held to be true, hence the INDICATIVE, the exact opposite of douter que, which takes the subjunctive.
