Jealous Partners

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2507072/Paranoid-woman-Debbi-Wood-suffering-Othello-Syndrome-forces-fianc-lie-detector-test.html

This woman has an extreme condition where she is incredibly insecure and worried that her partner is being unfaithfully to her all the time.

A woman who makes her fiancé take a lie detector test to prove he has been faithful every time he leaves the house has been diagnosed with a rare condition that causes delusional jealousy.
Debbi Wood, 42, of Leicester, is so paranoid that her partner Steve Wood, 30, will stray that she also checks his phone, email accounts and bank statements several times a day for evidence of infidelity.
Mr Wood, who started dating Miss Wood in 2011 after they met through a friend, is even banned from watching women on television or looking at pictures of them in magazines.

Would you put up with it?

Have you ever been the jealous partner? Had you a reason to be jealous?

Have you ever been in a relationship blighted by a jealous partner?

I can understand people being insecure and anxious - it's often in our nature. But it's a really bad foundation for a relationship.

Haha, that woman would be long gone if I were him.

F*cking nut.

Christ she must be stunning looking and an animal in the sack. Only explanation.

Edit; Checked link. Can confirm she is rotten.

I'd say if she was a man, the partner would be chained to a radiator in the basement by now.

No partner is worth that hassle. Guy must have no self respect.

I'm amazed he hasn't failed a lie detector test yet - perhaps he tampere with the machine when she wasn't looking?

You couldn't blame her really., after all, he's the image of George Clooney.;)

You can fool a lie detector by clenching your sphincter. Which he may be doing involuntary from all the crazy group sex he's having.

Not in the slightest.

When I was much younger I was. And it helped ruin the relationship I was in. I grew out of it since then. Nowadays I am the complete opposite. I have complete faith in my current partnersto the point I even allow them in situations that many people would be paranoid about.

I am entirely aware of the risks involved in putting my trust and faith in other people but I choose to do so now and have every reason to believe that that trust is not misplaced.

Ask Fritzl, he made it work for years. Hopefully he'll bring out some from of guide at some stage.

Did anybody mis read Ms Wood as Ms World? The photo was not what I expected.

Most jealousy is delusional though, is it not? Hardly rare!

She's taking steps in the right direction anyway. What is pictured is the sad result of her having eaten every man she suspected of being unfaithful to her in the past. On the advice of her nutritionist, she's moved on to skinny lads only.

It's in the mail. It is therefore a pisstake. The 'journalist' who wrote it, the 'editor', and the readership of the mail may not be aware that it's a pisstake, yet by appearing in that rag, it's a pisstake by default. That paper is like the Jeremy Kyle review for the 'just about literate'.

That poor man is in a very abusive relationship tbh. It's him needs the help, not her.

True. Hopefully he'll have the good sense not to stick with her unless she genuinely changes her ways.

Perhaps one of his other girlfriends could help him make the break.

I dont understand why people who are that "insecure" bother being in a relationship. It only causes the jealous partner to be constantly on edge and miserable, and the partner to feel suffocated and unhappy. And I don't think its only insecurity tbh, its more than that. I'm insecure sometimes, I'll freely admit that, but I don't project it onto my partner and expect constant reassurance that he's not cheating. If I can't at least try to trust a partner then I shouldn't have one. If someone is gonna cheat then nagging them/checking up on them is not going to stop them.

If the genders were reversed in that article we'd have people calling for him to be jailed because he's an abuser and there'd be a few 'statements' made at the end of the story by a number of different 'organisations'.

lolers!!!

You'll allow them.

That's great.

Yup. It is. Though I feel you are possibly reading more into the word "allow" than was intended by it's use. I intend to say by it that I do not react as negatively to my girlfriends being in situations - or certain friendships - as many other people do in my experience. Nor they me.

It's anxirty. The woman seems to be suffering from very severe anxity and it manifests in an almost OCD type of compulsion to prove to herself that her man isn't cheating.

It's good that she's getting treatment. Regardless of whether her man wants to stick around for her or not.

I've never ever been jealous in any actual relationships except for one in 6th year, when I was a young one (if you could even call it a relationship). I knew he was flat out texting two of my friends that he met through me and one of them had told him she liked him, and sent him naughty pictures. He told me cause he didn't like lying and I freaked out. We stayed together a few more months but I didn't trust him because of what had happened at the very start, so I wouldn't sleep with him. He was texting my other friend all of the time though and one day I got a text from him saying "Don't tell Lexie". Don't tell me what? I was super paranoid throughout that whole relationship, was glad I didn't sleep with him and was glad dumping him screwed him up relationship wise.

Then, I was fine in my next proper relationship. The first boy I ever loved. He used to travel a lot, had lots of female friends, but I never minded because I knew he would never cheat. We ended up breaking up and had a 'casual' thing going when he moved to Toronto, and he was all about the strip clubs over there, and I still never cared, cause he always told me about those savage dancers and when I went to visit he took me to his favourite one, so I was fine with it.

However, a friend I was never in a relationship with, but we had agreed just to meet each other and nobody else, did meet someone else, and I was completely devastated at the time as much of an over reaction that was, and even after that finished and while we were still meeting, I was always 50% on the fence that he was meeting others and just not telling me, I was completely paranoid and jealous and distrusting and it caused lots of fights between us at one stage.

So, i guess if I trust someone I'm not a physco but if the trust is ever broken, I am.

Precisely. She's not just doing this to make his life miserable either - she's been diagnosed with a medical condition and is unwell. I feel sorry for her, her life must be agonisingly stressful.

Of course, I feel great pity for him too, and admiration that he's stuck with her this long.

I feel if you can't trust your partner, there's no point being in a relationship with them. Nothing wrong with feeling the odd pang of jealousy, some things are human nature. But if it gets to the point where you're actively suspicious of their daily routine or trying to control them, something's gone badly wrong and it's time to either work it out, or walk away..

I was speaking about people in general, not necessarily the woman in the article cause tbh it just looked like a load of crap to me. Not saying there aren't people like that though.

Walter Breeze

What is it that makes people feel jealousy, I mean, why would it be so terrible if your partner had sex with someone else? Millions of people have sex everyday with other people, why is it so bad the your partner has sex with someone else.

While you're probably right, you could ascribe psychological factors to a lot of abusive behaviour.

It doesn't mean it's acceptable or that the guy shouldn't skedaddle.

How come they both have the same surname, but they're not married yet?..... Are they already related somehow??

According to the article

She has changed her surname to his in anticipation of marrying him

He is obviously willing to put up with all of this though?

Yes, I have had times where I was a jealous partner. Unfortunately, it was with good reason and my suspicions were founded.

BillyMitchel

Yeah I've had a really jealous one before, not to that extent but was still abnormal the way she carried on. Sad thing is I really loved this girl but she ruined it with her jealously. I'm a pretty flirty person so that probably didn't help anyway.

Your man should run and run fast. This type of behaviour can rub off on you.
