Keep accusing dh of cheating on me, is this a sign??

I have a 7 month old dd and things have been great. But just lately I can't shake this feeling he is cheating on me, I'm so paranoid almost to the point where I'm picturing scenarios in my head then getting very cross/angry and upset. It is causing a few problems and making my moods change dramatically. Is this a sign of pnd??

My dh is being supportive to reassure me but I'm looking for any little thing, if he's on his phone too much, not enough, when he's in the loo im banging on the door accusing him of being on his phone. At times I just don't recognise myself but then other times I just can't shake this horrible gut feeling that's something is not right.
I know maybe this post should be I relationships but I just wondered did anyone else go through this and if my dh is being truthful to me I generally feel sorry for him because I'm being a nightmare!!! Should I maybe go to the gp??

Yes, go to the GP. Is there anything else in your life that's affecting or upsetting you?

Of course you COULD be right but with a 7 month old and your suspicion about PND it is equally likely to be PND.

Does he go out without you much? Does he always come home from work on time?

Everything else in my life is pretty much perfect, I'm coping with my dd, shes everything I dreamt of and more and things have been great but this feeling just won't leave me. His working hours have changed as he's been promoted so it's hard to say and he's not disappearing off or anything but I do suspect he's growing close to someone at work and I'm picturing secret txts and phone calls, it could all be in my head but who knows. Of course he denies all this but he would wouldn't he?? It's me I'm worried abut, because it's in my head 24/7 and just won't leave me

He has a new job and new colleagues but that doesn't mean he has an affair. Unless you have some psychic powers, I would say that the biggest threat to your marriage might not be another woman but this:

"My dh is being supportive to reassure me but I'm looking for any little thing, if he's on his phone too much, not enough, when he's in the loo im banging on the door accusing him of being on his phone."

Frankly, Go to the GP as soon as possible if you suspect you have PND. It may play nasty tricks on your mind.
