My wife leaving / having an affair

View More Posts Ignore
I have been reading things on this and other sites about depression and paranoia. I understand they are linked but are my thoughts normal or are they extreme ?

Every time my wife leaves the house I believe she is not coming back. She is going to leave me and live with another man.
When she gets dressed nice to go to work I think she is meeting a male friend.
She is talking to pals on Facebook and I think she is having sex chat / phone sex chat.

I think that each day she is at home / with me she is just marking time and waiting until she gets it all together to leave me.

She had a crank call a few months ago. i don't know whether this was a boyfriend or a stalker, either way it worries me each day, she will either leave me or be killed by this stalker.

When she is with her friends I know she calls me bad names and says she hates me. I think this is the case when she talks with her parents and our 3 children too. She is trying to turn them against me.
She will not talk to my parents any more even though they live less than 1/2 mile away and they used to get on so well.

I am on medication and we are going to joint counselling. This works on some issues but doesn't seem to have eased my paranoia.

Am I normal having these thoughts

" i feel like that to a certain degree, but i call it jealousy, my jealousy leads me to believe that he texts other women but does not tell me. That he e- mails but does not tell me. i have often been in bed up stairs listening to what he up to down stairs while he gets ready to go to work. the other day he booked a day off work and then canceled it to go to work, but i struggled that day wondering if he did actually go in. I feel like i want to know his every move "
