Why do I always think my husband is cheating on me?

A lot of our concerns regarding an unfaithful spouse, if there are no real indications or clear red flags that they could be cheating, stem from our insecurities. I cannot speak for everyone, but from my own experience, I created my own demons in my relationships; I felt poorly about myself, pushed those insecurities onto my significant other, and almost convinced them that they were too good for me and bound to find someone better, if they hadn't already. I couldn't see the beauty and amazing traits about myself that he was attracted to, so I had nothing in my brain to convince me that I was worthy of a faithful spouse. What I did, and I don't know if this would work for everyone, is that I forced myself to write down all of the amazing things that I offer to the people I love; this made me realize and accept all of these amazing traits! I then asked my spouse to make a list of the great things I offer, then I compared his list to mine, and I realized that we listed a lot of the same things, but I also relished in the fact that he listed other things that I never would have thought!

Maybe you've been hurt before in the past by a significant other being disloyal. Talk to your husband.

well worrying about it is pointless because he's the one you have to spend all your life with . Why be negative in thoughts when you have a lovely husband to hold on ? The thinking might be a result of your own negativities and doubts on him due to insecurities . you can definitely change your thinking and lead a happy , calmer and peaceful life if you stop OVER THINKING.

Has he behaved in a way that's caused you to think that, or are you insecure about something? Can you talk to him about this? If he hasn't done anything to suggest that he is cheating, you may want to look at yourself and examine your feelings a little more closely? Do you trust each other? Do you share things and communicate enough? Do you accuse him of cheating? Has he ever cheated? Have you ever cheated? Do you think of cheating? Sometimes we project our own feelings onto others.

There are many reasons why you would think your husband is cheating. It could be from past experiences with either him or a past relationship. You guys are lacking communication. You feel that he isn't showing you as much attention as he used to. I could go on, but the key would be to talk to him.

Attachment issues and fear of being abandoned are very common fears, especially if one has been hurt in such ways in the past. Although one logically knows that they are wrong (unless evidence says otherwise), the nagging feeling often persists, and causes the individual distress. It's essentially what I would call a "conflict bewteen your mind and your heart". The bothersome feelings can often however, be alleviated by means of therapeutic techniques such as CBT, and behavioural techniques such as meditation. If one believes their issue to be pathological, then it is best to go see a psychologist or physician, as only health care practitioners are qualified to issue diagnoses and offer treatments.

Might be your instincts telling you something. I always thought my last partner was cheating me but convinced myself it was my own insecurity and inability to trust. Someone actually told me that when I asked for advice. But sure enough, he was cheating on me.

It may be because you do not trust him and love him. Love and trust go together and when feel doubts and insecurities and you don't have any solid to prove your doubts then you need to look at yourself and see why you are thinking or feeling this way.
