My husband hasn't spoken to me since Sunday but told me this morning that I have a week to ge a solicitor as he is divorcing me. He thinks I am being unfaithful but I am not, and never have been. I think he s suffering from paranoia. It is not the first time he has accused me. All his evidence is based on body language he thinks he as seen. Ths time it's to do with where I sat at the table for a family gathering on Sunday. I posted on a thread on Sunday abut aspergers as he has recently been to the doctor as he thinks he has it. The doctor however was not v helpful. He has now as a result gone into a cycle of believing that he is fine and its everyone else that is wrong. This is mainly directed at me. He has a whole list of times e thinks that I have been up to something, all wrong but I can't prove it. I love him very much and it breaks my heart to se him like this but I am also terrified of what is going to happen and I am helpless to do anything about it. I have an appointment to see a doctor tomorrow but I don't think he will agree to go back now. I am thinking it could be acute paranoia or bi polar. He had a bad case of paranoia last Christmas brought on by stress but came through it and convinced the doctors he was fine. It was horrible, v scary. I don't want to break up over something like this. We have two small children it would break their hearts if that happened. They are just wondering now why daddy is sleeping in the spare room. What can I do?

Sorry to hear about all of this.

Glad that you have an appointment tomorrow.

If I were you, I would write down as many incidents as you can remember, with approximate dates. so you can show the list to your doctor. Hopefully that way, he can see a fuller picture than if you just go in there and say things you can remember at the time.

Not sure whether it would be best to see the same doctor or a different one.

Thanks Golddigger. I am really hoping that I get somewhere tomorrow but worried that the Dr will either not be supportive or say that he is powerless unless DP seeks help himself. It will help me to gt help for myself though.
