My ex-boyfriend was super paranoid. In fact, it affected me and made me suspect myself too. There was no day I wasn't explaining myself to him concerning my actions. He would see things I do or say and would want to tie something negative to it because he suspected I'm doing something wrong which I'm not telling me. It can be very frustrating and no in was not ready to take it into marriage and so I gave him his ring back. No one should be made to feel they are not to be trusted especially in a relationship as serious as marriage. It can bring down your confidence, self-esteem and all that.
I'm really sorry to hear about your tough situation. Dealing with constant suspicion must've been hard. If you're up for it, let's chat openly about anything on your mind.
The problem I have with my husband is that he will never tell anyone, not even me, about something going on with him. I guess he fears that such information would be used against him, I don't know. But it's harming us because little things that I am supposed to know that can help us in our marriage, he keeps it to himself. He has so many secrets but trust me, if he finds out that I'm keeping just one thing away from him, I'm not going to hear the end of it. Thanks for addressing this topic, at least now I know some things I can do to bring this to an end.
It sounds like a challenging situation. It’s tough when communication is one-sided and secrets start to build barriers between you. Opening up these lines of communication might require patience and gentle encouragement.

I have been in a relationship with someone who has paranoid personality disorder and chronic anxiety. He brings up scenario in his head about me cheating and legit believes it. He spends his time having doubt about our relationship until I had enough and broke up with him. Thanks for enlightening us in this mental disorder.
I think spouse who are paranoid may be suffering from anxiety too. They should address this issue to stop it from affecting their relationship. The intervention of an expert could really help a paranoid spouse to overcome any predicament.
Paranoia can often stem from underlying anxiety or other issues. Seeking expert help can be crucial in addressing these problems, improving the overall health of the relationship, and fostering a more supportive environment for both partners.
It can seem as though the person you are in a relationship with suffers from paranoid personality disorder and never sees you for who you truly are. Try to help them focus on what is real rather than getting into a fight with them. Be firm but accepting of their feelings. Once again, Michael, I appreciate your very useful advice.
When you are in a relationship with someone who has paranoid personality disorder, it can feel as if they never see you for who you really are. Paranoid personality disorder overstimulates their fear response, and they can go through their days experiencing an exaggerated negative spin on most events and interactions. It’s not that they want to believe that you might be sneaking around, keeping secrets from them, or otherwise betraying their trust, but they do believe these kinds of things-regardless of the truth of the situation and your intentions.
I am a man who's wife is PPD...IT IS EXAUSTING!!! everyday I have to reprove my love, trust, and devotion to her; EVERY DAMN DAY I have to remind her nobody is trying to sabatoge, hurt, and or harm her. Her going to work you would think she worked in a war zone because she is always at the brink of quitting her job because everyone is "evil" and trying to sabatoge her. I'm trying some new techniques; pray for me!

I could give you his a lot of insight into this. I know someone who has it, and I know what event triggered it. Very specifically. It was a trauma response to a betrayal. This person also was diagnosed hypothyroidism just prior to the trauma that triggered the PPD. That hypothyroidism was likely caused by stress and anxiety that was caused by their own hyper vigilance in response to the spouse’s chemical addiction, which was caused by the spouse’s cPTSD. There is a lengthy chain of events. And it’s all intertwined and both trauma responses in both spouses are feeding on each other. It is a vicious cycle.
I have a friend like this, I just explained how its impacting me and our friendship, I reassured my friend that I will always care I will always be there but if pushing luck and my boundaries I have no choice but to step back for awhile, otherwise this cannot continue, it would be the same as if I were in a relationship to, I to have anxiety but I used this example to show how to manage those fear triggers/responses, this seemed to work to a certain extent to the point my friend respects, listens, understands has insight into what I saying, although still rather clingy I have to be careful not allow my friend to get so attached but show a certain amount of consistency regarding this friendship and my careability.
Living with a spouse who consistently suspects you of wrongdoing can have profound impacts on both individuals and the overall health of the relationship. Such an environment can breed feelings of resentment, frustration, and even a loss of self-confidence. It is crucial to address this issue openly and honestly with your partner, emphasizing the importance of trust and communication. Seek professional help if needed, such as couples therapy, to facilitate constructive dialogue and provide tools for building trust. Together, you can establish boundaries, establish healthy communication patterns, and work towards fostering a relationship grounded in mutual understanding and support.
I just want to know what I can do to help ease his anxiety and fears? I love him and I now realize that this is from going up in his childhood. I would never hurt him, I want him to feel completely safe with me. I don’t want him to feel like I’m hiding something or trying to pull one over on him. I just want to know how I can stop it before it turns into a fight. I try not to get upset and react but it’s hard. It does hurt me. But I also know now that he is hurting believing the stuff he is saying.
Yes, this is a very difficult situation that you find your self in. The sad reality is that paranoia does not come from a healthy state of mind. Therefore, there is nothing you can do or say to directly ease his anxiety and fear. However, the boundaries and tips suggested in the video will help you to disengage and take the steps necessary that could lead to him getting professional help.
