fear of infidelity can be very difficult to cope with. sometimes the fear can be as bad as the experience itself. but there exist more than one possible answer to this question. since i dont know you personally, and i do not know your husband either, i can only speculate. it could be anxiety on your part, especially if you have been betrayed by several people in the past, whether romantically or not. history is said to be a good teacher, and when we are repeatedly betrayed, we tend to "learn" that the people we love will eventually either leave or prove not to be deserving of our trust. the other possibility of course, is that he is; maybe youve smelled a perfume or hes stayed out late a few more times this month than usual. maybe youve picked up a few cues, and youve become unable to stay in denial. either way, a good first step is to reach out to people who know you and whose opinions and perspectives you trust.

Sometimes people are insecure about themselves and it's often insecurity and low self-esteem that causes these types of thoughts in the first place. When you don't feel good about yourself, it can cause you to feel like you're not good enough for him and that he might be wanting to find better, elsewhere. Most of the time these thoughts aren't true. Unless your husband has given you a reason to think he has/would cheat on you, then it might be a good idea to try and find ways to help you cope with your insecurities. Also, good communication is key, make sure to talk to him and ask him his thoughts/feelings about you thinking these things.

If you always think your husband is cheating on you then you don't trust him enough to believe he can be faithful. Sometimes its also about how you see yourself. When you think you are not good enough or beautiful enough, it makes you think he is out there cheating on you with other people who are better

You are jealous, and it is a natural instinct when you are heads over heels in love with someone. You could also be afraid of him leaving you (maybe you have been cheated on in the past) and this makes you insecure and afraid.

Your paranoia and lack of trust results in that,and not knowing where your husband is,if he goes misteriously for no reason outside,you might think he is cheating,but you should show trust for your partner,and have a healthy and understanding relationship,dont let your fear affect that.

You can always talk to me about it and maybe I'll be able to help you. But please don't do anything before you know the truth.

I imagine your concerns are based on his actions, and if so you need to be open and discuss things with him. This is someone you loved to the point of committing yourself to them in marriage so you owe it to each other to have a chat if one person feels things are less than perfect.

He may deem traits that seem untrustworthy to you. Always confront the feelings that arise because it can cause problems later.

Maybe it's because you don't love yourself enough and you know that there are better girls around, so you may be scared that he finds out and leaves you, but don't be, if he's with you, there is nothing to be scared about ;)

Because you don't trust him, why would you marry someone you don't trust to begin with ? Maybe it's time to have a serious discussion with him or part away if you can't ? Separation isn't a failur.
