Othello syndrome - survivors?

[itsamystery]

Anyone out there living with or has lived with a DP with Othello Syndrom (sexual jealousy)? I'd be interested to hear thoughts, experiences, stories, outcomes, etc.

Thanks.

Does this read like a journalist to you?

Yes.

you what?

Op, have a read through some threads, that should give you some research fodder answer your questions..

"An affected person typically makes repeated accusations of infidelity based on insignificant or minimal evidence, often citing seemingly normal or everyday events or material to back up their claim. They may also take great pains to test their partner's fidelity, endlessly checking and re-checking mobile phones and diaries, and can go to considerable lengths to monitor their behavior and movements"

Clearly been around a long time then hasnt it...

I think we should all have a competition to make up new "syndrome" names. Bet we could have a whole new list of them by 6pm...

I dislike this labelling of bad behaviour in a relationship.

It acts as a distraction. IF someone is behaving badly then deal with it, rather the ponder whether it fist the criteia for a specific "syndrome" or condition.

I wonder if these things are made up by men to excuse their actions. "its not my fault, it is a recognised issue"

the labels all feed the amateur psychologists among us though dont they

they make them feel validated

Dickinsons Syndrome

"Those affected suffer from a fixation with the colour orange. They may often be found frequenting the self-tan section of Boots. Other symptoms include an irrational fear of Factor 50 sunblock and an unhealthy obsession with Katie Price. Famous sufferers include Dale Winton and Christine Bleakley"

Do I win the competition?

Othello Syndrome?

Was there something wrong with the term "jealous Bastard"?

I believe XH suffered from Pain In Butt Syndrome.

Rooney Syndrome

Generally a male condition, sufferers usually have young children, and get a compulsive urge to visit prostitutes and have affairs.

Madeley Syndrome

An individual with this syndrome will think they are funny and down wiv da kids when inside everyone around them is suffering from terminal cringe

oh ffs... I dont believe it!!!

Its already being done...

McCutcheon Syndrome

Afflicted is easily manipulated by others into wearing ridiculous outfits for money. Common amongst z list tv personalities and those people that dress as hotdogs outside nasty cafes.

I think I might have God Like Being Syndrome. I appear to be irritated at the excuses of the human race for not conforming to my expectations.

Symptoms include:
Incredulity at the human ability to pass more or less any amount of bad behaviour off as something the poor transgressor can't help.
An expectation that people ought to just be reasonable to each other and accept some sort of responsbility for thier misbehaviour.
The expectation that a marriage (or even partnership, I am a progessive deity like that) should be based in some sort of balance or even (dare I say it) equality.

Can you help me? My condition clearly renders me utterly dysfunctional in the modern world. I am starting to think that I will never remarry, as I could only ever accept a husband who would be fair, reasonable, decent and understanding.

Katona Syndrome

Women sufferers find themselves drawn to unsuitable men, have an inability to behave appropriately in he public eye, and are often delusional. Incapable of being able to manage their finances, and often showing dubious parenting skills. Difficult to cure, but regular therapy sessions with a good journalist are helpful..

Nice post OP.

I am a journalist too. Here is my slap-dash question:

'Hi, anybody out there who has been abandoned by a husband and left with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)?

I have a deadline but have been getting pissed in the local meeja pub all afternoon and now desperately need some quick misery stories to flesh out later, over a nice bottle of pinot grigiot whilst my well paid partner gives me oral. So come on all you abject failures give a career vamp a break and spill
would be interested to hear thoughts (notice I don't use the word 'your' as frankly, you don't exist to me as real people (my shouty editor is a biddofamare)) experiences, stories, outcomes etc.

Also, to add to that list, recipes, spells, hellish moments, times of enlightenment, bra size, location, family background, education, foot size...

thanks

Klass syndrome (also used to be known as Jools syndrome)

Sufferer is under the impression that they are the first peron in the world to have a child and that the process of being pregnant and giving birth has bestoyed mystical beliefs and knowledge on them that every other person on the planet needs to be informed of or helped with as soon as humanly possible.
The sufferers are intensly irritating. It is not known if this is a symptom of the syndrome or the reason they suffer from it.

That took me ages.

I did admire your dedication to make your point UA

didn't you were a journo UA.

Wonder where the OP went?

Back to the oral sex and pinot grigio?

It's possible the OP could have been genuine, you know.

If so you've really cocked up.

And if they are genuine they will come back on and say so.
