What are the chances that a specific obsessive thought would occur in real life? Mine borders around infidelity. Everytime I have a thought, it is about a woman who cheats on a good husband with a huge multitude of partners. "my wife slept with half the town we lived in." "It is like the wife in a more literal sense slept with half the town and the husband had to leave to keep the wife from cheating because the wife hates her husband, does not care for her husband because she is an evil b****. the poor husband has to leave the husband because the w**** couldn't keep her legs closed." Those are my obsessive thoughts. What are the chances that those things occur in real life? The fact that people cheat are not what worries me, though it should since it is wrong, but the specific example like the one posted here. Most of my scenarios are repetitive and are exaggerated like this one. Is real life more mundane and boring than this scenario or does this happen in real life, or does this rarely, if ever happen in real life? I am talking about a specific example since OCD is about specifics?
