I was reading another forum and a sz’s spouse was worried because the sz was always claiming they were being cheated on. Well the norm thought maybe that would mean the sz is more likely to cheat. There’s been several times I accused my wife of cheating. Wich is really not much of a reality as she is a loyal person. But I tend to think we are way less likely to cheat because of the paranoia . I know my paranoia has done some repairs on my morality, how about you do you think it makes any difference?
no it is not necessary but trauma changes people I think, I was s different person before the illness.
I have delusions and paranoia but none of cheating yet.
Once I thought my dad was in an affair, that was weird. Glad I did not tell anything to my mom.
Recently my delusions have been more fearful like getting hurt .

my dad has sza, and he has little to no self control and yes he has cheated on my mother multiple times and had children with these women. but he always claim my mom is cheating on him even though she is never alone.
he claims she has boyfriends she communicates with on the phone so he checks her phone periodically. though I have found on my dad’s phone him making plans with escorts.

I think because I’m paranoid sz I just think how awful it would be to sneak around and fuel one’s paranoia all the time, worrying about getting caught or STDs or pregnancy.
those things have never crossed my dad’s mind. he doesn’t care about that stuff as long as my mom is still loyal and he doesn’t get a taste of his own medicine then he doesn’t care

I sometimes was worried that my ex-boyfriend might be cheating. He made me stop feeling like I was going nuts… by cheating.

my dad often used the excuse, “well you thought I was cheating so I just did it” I also hear that excuse a lot on maury

Considering most of the time our lives are on public display and it would be hard to lie makes it illogical to cheat. I mean everybody wants to get away with it right. And doing it just to piss someone off would be just alot of drama. And I took grade 9 drama… I can do that all on my own.

I’m schitzo and I was very paranoid about my wife cheating. Then she actually did cheat…and left. So was it paranoia or feeling that it’s a possibility with this certain mate? Could be the latter or both.
Funny and sick thing is she was paranoid of me cheating because I was schitzo.
And yet I never did she did
So the statement of schitzophrenic cheating well it depends on the person. I’m to scared and paranoid to lay around with women even single…
