WOMAN MAKES BOYFRIEND TAKE A LIE DETECTOR TEST EVERYDAY

Debbi Wood who suffers from Othello syndrome, a psychiatric disorder which causes delusional jealousy is so convinced her faithful partner will stray that she makes him take a lie detector test every time he leaves the house.

She also checks his phone, emails and bank accounts several times a day to search for evidence of an affair which never happened.

'I get so worried that he's been eyeing up the shop assistant that I just have to know the truth,' she said.

Debbi has installed childproof filters to stop Steve accessing websites with sexy images of women.

'I think he's gorgeous but that's not the issue – it's about whether or not I can trust him not to look at women while he is out on his own. I don't want him thinking they're hot.'

Ms. Wood said she was 'relieved' to have been diagnosed with the condition, named after the Shakespearean character Othello who kills his wife Desdemona after suspecting infidelity.

Her condition is so extreme that 30-year-old Steve Wood is banned from watching any program featuring women.

'I won't even let him watch The Weakest Link in case he fancies Anne Robinson,' said Ms Wood, from Leicester. 

Experts believe her problem was triggered by the breakdown of a previous long-term relationship.

But Mr Wood insisted he'd do anything for love. 

'Sometimes I get nervous and the lie detector test results come back inconclusive because my heart is hammering, which makes Debbi doubt me,' he said. 

'I'm willing to put up with it because I know we're soul mates.
