I worry about this myself too. I also worry if they can accept me for all my past mistakes. One time a friend of mine told me that if someone loves you, they will accept you no matter who you are cause they will see the best in you. The light in all that darkness. They will give you a shoulder to lean on and youll grow. You’d do the same for them. Im not giving you reassurance, Im just telling you what someone taught me.

I have had OCD since I was a kid. It reared its ugly head while I was dating my husband. Neither of us knew at the time that it was OCD; we just thought it was anxiety. It was horrible. It was focused on whether I was doing the right thing by being with him (sort of an offshoot of scrupulosity OCD). But my husband stuck with me through it. And we are now married 4 years with a toddler. And then after I gave birth my OCD got triggered so severely again, and I’ve been working on it for the last year and a half. He’s still here with me. In all of this we actually ended up discovering that he has OCD too, though neither of us knew it - maybe that’s why he took it so well? Point is, neither of us knew I had OCD, we just knew I had severe obsessive anxiety and he stuck with me anyway. It’s absolutely possible to find love with OCD.

I have a whole host of mental illnesss and I’m engaged to a great man. He also has OCD but it’s not as bad as mine. He really balances me out and I’m grateful for him and his care but I didn’t get together with him until I was 25. So kind of a late bloomer.

It’s completely possible. I’ve been suffering from R-OCD for 3 months now and It’s been horrendous to say the least however my boyfriend is the most loving, helpful person. If they love you they will see past it and support you. If they are in love with you they will be willing to stick by you whatever happens.

Some people will reject an individual with a disorder, but others will be empathetic and see past the disorder. IMHO, we are pretty cool folks ;-)

Fear of getting dumped because of OCD
How have you dealt with this? OCD definitely has affected my relationship but he’s been and stayed with me for over a year and a breakup hasn’t happened. Yet in my mind I’m not worthy of a relationship because of my mental health. Help?

Dating paranoia
I've just started dating this really great girl. She doesn't know about my ocd which is fine but I've noticed that a lot of my intrusive thoughts and worries about not following routines now revolve around losing her or her believing I'm a bad person. I just don't want this relationship to make me so paranoid. I also know have this where if I see a girl on my Instagram or on the Internet, I'll feel an overwhelming urge to clean myself and the device I viewed it on. This is part of a moral reaction and I also worry I'm not being loyal. I feel I should try and not follow through with these compulsions but as they now revolve around keeping my girlfriend I'm not sure. Any advice?

Relationship OCD
I’ve just recently found out that Relationship OCD is a thing. I feel like I relate but it also feels like relationship trauma. I’m in a fairly new relationship and I keep telling myself that things are going great, we are good, he cares for me, but does he? There’s this unbelievable amount of self doubt that sits in me because of what my ex did to me many months ago. I kept getting told that I do too much, i smother, need constant reassurance, then got told that I don’t care enough, the things I do aren’t enough and that I’m not enough. I feel like I am waiting for the day that I get broken up with because of these “problems” just so I can be proven right at the fact that I should be considered unlovable. I go through this every month around my period because I get so emotional and nervous that I stress over the idea that he doesn’t like me. How does someone continue a relationship with Relationship OCD? How do I explain it?
