My husband constantly accuses me of cheating: Thoughts?

My husband & I have been together for 10 years. Married for 1. We have two children 6 & 3. He is extremely jealous. He almost everyday jokes about “my boyfriend”. Saying things like “Did you see your boyfriend today?” I have never cheated or even talked to another man since we’ve been together. I’ve told him numerous times that I would never cheat. He’s the one for me & he still “jokes” about it all the time. When he drinks it’s no longer a joke. He constantly accuses me of cheating in the past & present. We share all of our passwords & everything. I don’t have a lock on my phone he has the opportunity to go through it anytime he wants & vice Versa. He rarely goes through my phone though. I love this man, but after awhile I get sick of being accused of something I’ve never done. What should I do?

Well hate to say this, but usually when they start accusing you, it’s because they feel guilty for cheating themselves

Those who accuse are usually the ones cheating & hes blaming you to stop you get suspicious, otherwise he has no other reason to accuse

My ex did this when he was cheating on me with one of many of his side whores. I was pregnant at the time and felt trapped. My advice is that you get away from him and find a man that treats you like the queen you are. Know your worth and expect nothing less than what you deserve.

That my friend is called a guilty conscience

In my experience the accuser is the cheater…

He’s the one cheating that’s how his guilt is coming out. Just because you go through his phone doesn’t mean he has what they call a burner phone. It’s a separate phone could be leaving it at work could be leaving it in his car could be hiding it God knows where. But for him to act like that after this long he’s the one cheating.

unless he has reason to think that then hes cheating and turning it around on you

It might be he’s cheating or he has some type of jealously issues!

He’s probably got insecurities from previous relationships, maybe his own self confidence issues, or he’s the one cheating and is trying to make u feel guilty for something

Could just mean he’s insecure about something in the relationship, and overly jealous!!

Sounds like he’s hiding something! Maybe he’s feeling guilty himself… these thoughts are obviously always on his mind

I believe that the reason he is doing it is because he’s insecure about himself, and don’t always believe the saying the one that accuses is the one doing it. He may just be insecure.

Maybe look up the signs of narcissist abuse because he seems to be one. It’s not normal that you can’t talk to the opposite sex. And I’d be wondering why he’s accusing you of this. He’s irrational and I bet if you called him out on it he’d react irrationally and it would be all your fault in his eyes. I’d turn it around and be like do you have a girlfriend?

Maybe it’s me, but he might not be cheating, some people can be very jealous and I feel like it can lean towards a form of mental abuse towards you in dealing with his own insecurities, I don’t believe it is healthy and it will get worse to where he won’t even let you do anything any more and you are isolated. I would ask him to seek counseling or leave it’s not healthy and trust me healthy love does exist.

I don’t want to get a lot of shit from my comment but I’m on the opposite side… my boyfriend and I have been together 4 years almost and when I met him I was getting out of a relation of 7 years with a man who cheated on me with someone he worked with. A guy I dated in high school for 2 years did the same thing cheated with someone he worked with so I’m constantly doing this to my boyfriend we had split up 3 years ago for 8 months and neither of us slept with another person but did talk to other people so it kinda hurts still. I have never cheated and I know deep down he would never with me but for me my hormones make me literally think one thing and then the next day I’ll be fine but I’ll say he has work girlfriends or that he flirts with guests (he’s a bartender) reading this makes me know I have to stop but I cannot get the feeling out of my head he will do it to me just like the other guys did. Hope it helps a little for a different point of view it does not always mean they are the ones cheating he probably just has a really low self esteem

Ask him why he’s insecure or cheating bc it has to be one ! Really lay it out

I’m not sure how long I’d stay with someone accusing me of cheating daily

He is the one cheating, and kind of hopes you are too so he does not feel guilty for leaving you

Honestly I use to do that, but it wasn’t because I was cheating because I wasn’t but it was because I was insecure which I found self love for myself, so I fixed myself and my relationship is better than ever.

Leave. He’s got a mental problem that you can’t fix. Alternative is therapy.

Leave his ass because when he accuses you of cheating it’s really his ass. I’ve been in your shoes at one time and got tired of the same shit your husband is doing to you. What did i do packed my shit and left?

He’s gaslighting you and will drive you insane on purpose… this isn’t a good thing. Ask if he trust you and cares enough to stop hurting you with something that is not true, also ask if he has ever cheated on you or is thinking about it?

Has he been cheated on? My husband gets this way sometimes but his ex wifr cheated constantly and ended up leaving for a guy while he was at work.

Run. That’s toxic behavior. I went through something similar, it started up like that, then him being sure I was gonna leave him for someone else ( same as you I didn’t even talked to other men) I lost friends and the only males that talked to me were like my boss or collage professors and he was sure I was cheating with them. After a while when he didn’t find anything on my phone he started turning violent. I can’t stress this enough… RUN

Run away, he’s too insecure for a relationship

Sounds like he is cheating tbh

I’m not going to be one to say he’s cheating. But some people really are insecure and don’t know how to handle it. But after 10 years you would think he would stop. Every day is very extreme. And that can mess with you mentally. It’s definitely not okay and he needs to stop. I would honestly tell him if he didn’t stop accusing you of cheating you’re going to leave. You deserve so much better.

Hmm i smell divorce his stupid ass

Im not going to say hes cheating but in my experience he has cheated, is cheating or is thinking about it. But my advice would be, if you still want to work things out with him you deffiently need to stand your ground and put an end to these “jokes” bc trust me it will drive you mentally crazy. Also if you are already to that point then i would look into therapy for yourself.

Sounds like his guilty ass is trying to make himself feel better by judging you by his own shit. Call him on it.

My ex husband would always accuse me of cheating on him. I would go into another room and stay there while his male cousins or male friends were visiting him because he would constantly accuse me of flirting or cheating after everyone would leave. He had access to everything i had. He would say the most God awful things, especially when he drank. I had never cheated on that man. I was physically and mentally abused by him though. He had always been the one cheating and i had caught him numerous of times and he even got drunk one night, called me and proceeded to tell me that he just got a room at a casino and was going cheat on me. I learned that it was never that he thought i was cheating…it was him putting his guilt off on me. I dealt with this for 8 years. I am not saying that your husband is doing all of these things to you but if you’re not cheating, then it may be his guilt and hes finding a way to make himself feel better about it.

My ex husband was a complete narcissist.
