Married nearly 16 years, 2 DC.
Right from the start DH has been paranoid about infidelity, and not just physical stuff but me acting in a way that "makes him look ridiculous" in his words.
This has included making me agree to stop drinking unless he's there, not having solo contact with any of our mutual male friends, not socialising with male work colleagues, not wearing certain clothes that send the wrong message, and most recently getting absolutely furious when I offered a male work colleague to park on our drive for a few days. This was seen as him "plotting to spend time with me".
He frequently describes other men as " sex pests" if they are good looking or have good social manners. His friends are a lovely but nerdy bunch.
We've been to Relate for a few sessions, and mostly sorted out practical stuff like chores.
He is adamant the problem is my low mood ( but he's very reluctant for me to see a GP / get some counselling).
I'm torn between trying to challenge the jealousy and just calling time on the whole thing.
There are loads of other examples, but this is already long.
Any advice/ experience welcome. I'll not be able to post much in case he sees.
