The thread about delusions got me thinking... I am not sure if this is a delusion or not. I am absolutely convinced that my husband is in love with some girl he works with. I have no real reason to think this. He just mentioned her in conversation once (that she was annoying him) and since then, I have been crying and accusing him of being attracted to her. He gets mad at me and says I am being irrational. Since I went back on my meds, I am thinking it less and less.

Thanks...

One thing is for sure - regardless of it being delusional or not - you are pushing your husband away and it's taking a toll on your marriage. Unless you have definitive proof, drop it. You may want to bring this up with a therapist.

I'm not sure if this is a delusion. I would definitely talk to your therapist.

Do you have abandonment issues?

About a year ago, I had a break down, and part of it was thinking my husband was cheating with a girl on his online video game. I had no reason to think he was cheating, but I was sure I was having a "Psychic" experience and "Caught" him. I hadn't slept in days, and once my stress level went down, I stopped thinking my husband would cheat. I just assumed it was from all my insecurities over being sick. But who knows, maybe it was a mild delusion.

I wish you the best of luck in your relationship. I'm glad you are feeling better and no longer feel you are being cheated on.

I agree with the above, you really might want to talk to your therapist about this. If he only brought her up once and it was in annoyance, you are running far outside of the circle with this and you are hurting not just yourself, but your husband. I'm glad that the meds are helping you to lose the thought, though. I would hate to here that it caused marital issues. Best of luck to you and I hope that things go smoother for you and your hubs.

I think you answered your own question:

I have no real reason to think this.

There really is no evidence / anything suggested in your post that prior behaviour / anything untowards has been happening.

It was just a thought that you had (that unfortunately wasn't just a passing thought).

I think you need to let that thought go.
