Well, as many of you may know, I have delusional dissorder. In a nut shell, I believe my boyfriend wants to be with someone better than me. I know I am an attractive intelligent person, yet I always feel there is someone better out there that he wants to be with. It affects everything in my life, I can't watch TV without thinking "if I only looked like that, he would never leave me". Now try to imagine my life when we go out somewhere. It usually ends in a fight because I think I saw him looking in the general direction of another female. I am with a great guy, I know he would never cheat on me, but deep down I think he's going to leave me for someone better. I am in therapy and on medication. So that is my problem, but I have a lot of issues with trust that go along with this and I actually trusted him. But this weekend I caught him in a lie. He told me he went to a friends house for a couple drinks but he actually went to a bar with them. I have BIG issues with bars, especially when I'm not there. When I confronted him, he said it was no big deal, he just didn't think he could tell me because I would flip out. I would have. But now I feel that all the things I used to think are true. About how all men lie, and no one could be happy just with me. I can't tell anymore when I'm being delusional and when I am reacting normally to a situation. Now I'm back to my way of thinking that he's a great guy in every other way, and I'll never find anyone who won't cheat and lie to me so I might as well just accept it. I know he was wrong for lying to me, but am I wrong for thinking that a little lie means he can and probably will tell a big lie?
