Hi! I’m sorry your OCD is making things hard for you and your gf. I also talk to my boyfriend about my OCD constantly and I feel guilty for doing so, BUT the more I’ve explained it to him the more understanding he has become. Do you have the book “overcoming unwanted intrusive thoughts”? It’s a great book that my boyfriend and I read together (just the parts that pertain to me) maybe this would help her understand your situation better / why you talk to her about it often? Just a thought!! I hope things get better soon :)

Thank you, it’s got to the point every time I even say” how can I help”, it makes her mad. Even when we’re good she seems like she doesn’t want to be there

@bryer I know that feeling. That exactly feeling of "he/she doesn't want me enough". I get really really triggered when for example my partner doesn't want to call, or answer with short short messages... try to read about anxious attachment! That helped me to relax a bit! I sincerely can't tell you if it is my rocd or the other people that take distances. But I stopped try to answer, and things has been really better since then!

Hey guys! My boyfriend has said recently that he doesn't know if he's strong enough to continue with our relationship because of my OCD. He wants to see me overcome my symptoms and learn to live a healthy life with OCD, but my anxieties and obsessions are starting to really affect his life. I understand his reasoning, it's hard to see someone you care about struggle with OCD, especially when it starts to affect you too. I'm asking for tips to deal with my compulsions in the relationship. I HAVE to know the answer to things and sometimes that leads into arguments because even with apologies and discussions I can't let things go, even if they genuinely don't matter or are miniscule issues we have. It's a healthy relationship otherwise but I feel horrible because it's impacting him so negatively, that's the absolute last thing I want to happen. I care for him deeply and he cares for me too, so I don't want my OCD to be a reason we break up but I fear it's headed in that direction. I'm starting therapy soon, but until then what are some things I can do to stop my ROCD from impacting him? I know sitting in the guilt and anxiety of not completing my obsessions will help, but I'm wondering if there are other things I can do to maybe remedy some of the damage already done.

me and my girlfriend since we started dating we be only had one problem, and that is my fear of everything of losing her of her cheating, and it’s all caused by OCD. my texts are massive and i get worried i know i love her and she makes me calm i know i love her. we had a conversation yesterday and basically she said that she feels suffocated with my texts and my fears. she went on trip were she doesn’t have her phone. and yesterday i spent the entire day crying about her. my head is filled with intrusive thoughts. and last night i got so stressed that it seemed like the love went away or i couldn’t remember the love, but it’s impossible because i was crying about her yesterday. this struggle my relationship is having is making me so stressed. pls give me advice
