Had a bad spike very recently while my girlfriend was in quarantine. It was a different ROCD-related obsession, but it was brutal and I spent entire days ruminating and started planning a confession, asking for reassurance, and self-punishment (three compulsions that I stopped a while ago). As soon as I saw her again, I felt like life was worth living and while the obsession was still there I felt like I had the strength to not compulse. So yes. Being away from your SO, in my experience, can definitely contribute to a spike in OCD.
