My husband accuses me of cheating, makes fights, checks me in every possible way, peeps at every situation at home. When he is at work, he writes 30 text messages a day, asking what I am doing and where I am, calls and writes to his mother's children to ask what I am doing. At first, he intimidated me, threatened me with death, and accused me of the fact that my daughter, who is 14 years old, was not ours. Then he started blackmailing me with his death if I filed for divorce, which I told him about earlier. Currently, it scares me of taking away my children and property because I have filed for divorce. I have to withdraw the case in court, because he promises to improve and change my behavior, unfortunately I don't believe him anymore. He accuses me of a mental illness, insults me. Could the husband's behavior indicate a mental disorder or mental illness?
May testify. The Lady herself writes: "morbid" jealousy. Its varieties and causes can be different, most often it affects men who are addicted to alcohol ("Othello Syndrome"), but not only. Patient jealousy creates a very difficult situation for women, you have felt it firsthand. The husband is not easy on the contrary, as is the case with every sick person, although he does not know about his illness, he is uncritical. Family life turns upside down. Sometimes there is a threat to he alth, and in exceptional cases also to life. It is difficult to deal with it alone. Do not hide it from kind people, if necessary, do not hesitate and report the matter to the police or the prosecutor's office. The mere filing of a divorce case may not be enough, because after the divorce it does not have to be calmer. The point is not to punish my husband (because it is a disease), but to get him to treat him. Regardless of whether you will still be with each other. You have to act with imagination and courage.
