It’s not healthy for him. You should tell him he is only harming himself. You would have to reassure him that you only have eyes for him and he is the most attractive man on earth for you. If you care about your relationship and you want to work it out. Just be kind.

Thats abuse. Somewhere deep inside you know that. Hes trying to control you and no, hiding under the bed is like stalking. Please take a close look at your relationship for signs of abuse. Controlling what you wear, who you see, who you talk to. Accusing you of things you’re not doing.

Normally when this happens the other person is cheating… They’re trying to catch you out to make themselves feel less guilty

Uhh. He’s psychotic and I think that you need a new one.

Because honestly it isn’t going to get better from there.

Soon he will be stalking you everywhere you go & lose his shit.

Not healthy at all. And most of the time when they are accusing you, they are guilty of it themselves. Sounds like he needs to work on himself before trying to work out a relationship with you.

I found out when they start being paranoid and accuse you of cheating they are cheating. I had a boyfriend do it to me and I had a friend who it happened to and I kept telling her he is cheating and he was accusing her of drug use which she didn’t do and she didn’t believe me when I told her by the way he is acting and accusing you he is cheating and doing drugs. Low and behold months later she found out he was doing both

Most likely he’s the one cheating… a cheater usually blames the other for cheating…

My ex husband used to do similar things. I know for a fact he was not cheating. He was just unhealthily jealous and untrusting. Sadly, I was very young, so when we moved half way across the world and I had no family near me (except for our twin sons) the behavior just got worse. No friends, no license, no job. He wouldnt introduce me to any of his male friends, wouldn’t let them see me. It went on like that for years. You need to get out now. It just gets worse.

That is a reflection of his own behavior. He thinks you’ll do do it because he would…

Either your husband is cheating and has a guilty conscience, or he is mentally ill. Either way you two should seek marriage counseling and get down to the root of the issue.

He is paranoid. You deserve better.

It can go two ways he either had a very bad past and exsperiences or he is cheating but going as faras hiding under the bed i would assume he had a bad past or maybe a mental issue that needs to be discussed

Mental illness. My ex has it. No matter what you do things won’t change. No matter how open you are his brain will make up something you did and accuse you. Only you know if you are strong enough to do it. I am really sorry. I bet besides that he is a pretty good guy :disappointed:

Sounds guilty himself and it trying to ease his guilt with hopefully catching you. Totally not healthy!

Nowhere near healthy.

My ex-husband accused me of cheating from the very beginning. What I learned after the fact is that this is a control technique that plays into a narcissist’s ego.
When he accuses you what do you do? You give him a million reasons why you’d never cheat (ego inflation). You give him full access to your life where he can then nitpick through your relationships. If you said anything remotely negative about him or discuss frustration about your relationship to another person, he’ll say you’re disloyal and that’s reason for his accusations, now and in the future. This is the long game for control. Wear you down so you don’t confide in others. Wear you down so you don’t engage with ANYONE because it may give him reason to accuse you. Eventually you will isolate yourself to protect your marriage.

Either that, or he’s cheating. Either way it’s toxic AF

Wow!! That’s some crazy, unhealthy situation! That is not normal so he either get help, or run!!! :woman_facepalming:t2: I always heard when they accuse it’s because they’re the ones cheating!!:woman_shrugging:t2:

So many people saying to run but it’s dude were to say this same postyall would probably say he gave hers reason to act that way. Damn double standards again lol
(Not saying it’s not a problem by the way, just find the difference in responses funny)

He is probably cheating.

Have you cheated before? Just trying to understand if he is desperate and going crazy or if he is a straight up jealous butt that needs severe help.

This is how the abuse starts. Isolating, spying, tracking. It’s not safe. Get out now before it becomes even more dangerous

My ex was like this a narsasistic asshole made me feel like i was going crazy constantly accusing me of cheating checking everything i hated even having a phone it got so bad if any man even liked my posts i got an ear full seriously this is not healthy at all id tell him to seek professional help or leave it’s not worth loosing your sanity over!

I’ve always said the guilty project their guilt onto their loved one when they themselves are doing wrong

He’s either projecting because he’s cheated, or he has some serious deep issues he needs to have looked at, like in his head. That is not healthy for either of you to live like that, and especially not the kids.

A lot of the time when they accuse is because is them that are doing the cheating

I’d find out what he’s doing. Because you can just about bet he’s doing exactly what he’s accusing you of doing. But one of those square things that will tell you where it is. Hide it under the back seats. Then see where you find him.

He’s gaslighting you and accusing you of what he himself is guilty of. This behavior is dangerous, abusive and it ALWAYS escalates. You need to make an exit plan. You’re in danger whether you are aware of it or not. Please get in touch with a Domestic Violence Agency and get your exit plan in place. They can help you do this as safely as possible.

Maybe he is just insecure but either way this is not healthy relationship. If you are faithful and never gave him reason to not trust you , you don’t deserve to be treated like that ! I personally would find this very offensive and disrespectful.
If you stay in this relationship he will slowly isolate you from everybody
