So it refers to spousal jealousy only. Interesting. Does it actually exist?
It exists. My wife has all the symptoms as described in Wiki and other internet sites. Very real for her and very scary for me.
The only advice I could give for you is get her diagnosed, treated and on medication. This doesn't sound like a therapy fixer to me.
There are a number of difficulties involved. Morbid jealousy is also know as Delusional jealousy or "Othello Syndrome". When someone is deluded, and we all know about religious delusions, the person is totaly convinced of their beliefs and it is difficult to change that mind set.
Try reasoning with someone who is convinced that you have been sleeping with other woman and has even had blood tests done to check if they have contracted an STD. Not very easy.
