    Look, I'm not a guy, but in marriage counseling I was told that my husband's short leash on me and constant distrust of me, and accusations of numerous affairs was a sign he was cheating, or seriously thinking about it. It can be a form of projection... he wants to do something or has already done something that he knows is wrong, and he projects his guilt and lack of moral code upon you. If he can make YOU the bad guy, then what he has done (or wants to do) will be justified in his mind.

    No no I wαnt women's opinions αlso.. I just thought men could mαybe tell me from their point of view..

    I hαve told my husbαnd thαt I think thαt he hαs done something because he keeps blαming me! αnd he sαys he hαsn't αnd I wαnt to believe him but when he sαys things like "well it's not thαt hαrd to tell someone to shut up" (when I wαs home αlone αnd he cαlled αnd αsked if αny one else wαs there!? )... then I'm like k thinking he might be doing those things since it comes out so eαsily to sαy to me..

    Do you know whαt I could do or sαy so he spills it out?.

    Ask him directly and sternly. Don't let him skirt around the question. If he won't look you in the eye when he tells you then there is a good possibility he is cheating. If he is I am so sorry that you have to go through that.

    In my experience, most people do not admit to anything until the relationship is over. My ex swore up and sown he would never cheat, blah blah blah, and six months after we split up he slipped and mentioned seeing a girl during a certain time frame. That time frame happened to be when we were going to marriage counseling and he was begging me to stay and work things out. Then he found out I was getting remarried, and he decided to dump all the affairs he'd had during our marriage in my lap. A wedding gift I suppose. He was a total a$$hole. I think if you have a gut feeling, you shouldn't ignore it. I don't suggest spying on him. If you have to do that, then there is no trust and the relationship is over if you don't get counseling. I suggest asking him to go to a counselor with you. Tell him you don't feel like you can trust him, and you feel you like a second class citizen always having to prove yourself to him. Tell him you need a partner, not a parole officer. If he doesn't agree to work on it, go to counseling alone if you want to save your marriage. If you decide you're fed up, leave him. (Yes, it is a big scary step, but if you are miserable now, and he is unwilling to make changes, things will only get worse.) Just don't let this guy isolate you from your friends and family. Keep other ties in your life.

    I think there is more to this story than just what was originally posted.

    You say you did not cheat, but you also say "i αlreαdy sαid i wαs sorry αnd owned up to them". Does that mean you did something you know made him loose trust in you?

    Maybe he's being irrational and projecting - as Vlee suggested. But maybe we're missing important pieces of the story.

    Is the marriage over? Is this trust issue a deal breaker?
    If not - then he has to "get over it" and start making the marriage work and stop behaving badly. If the marriage is over, he needs to get a handle on the alimony payments and let you go.
