For me I obsess about how often my partner and I have sex, whether we’re close enough, spend enough time together, whether I have a feeling that we should be together, etc. When I’m feeling anxious about any of these things, I often engage in a compulsion: I reach out to my partner or complain to him, I ruminate, I compare and contrast goods and bads in the relationship, or compare to a past relationship. My biggest fear is that I “should” break up with my partner and I’m in denial. It’s been really hard :(
I recovered from this theme!
That’s amazing! Does anything I wrote sound like what you felt? Any advice?
@daph619 Some of it does. Whenever I would go out to eat with him, I would think to myself horrible thoughts. Not sure why but whenever we would go out to eat I would just think horrible stuff. And honestly what happened me was going to a therapist who got to the root cause of the fear which was trauma from my parents marriage. Speaking to her about that helped me a lot.
Absolutley horrible. I ovethink my feelings for him, his for me, loyalty and commitment, facial features and personality, our "rightness" for each other, every single little comment, whether I'm attracted to somebody else, bodily reactions or discomfort near certain people that give intrusive thoughts, and then I also experience numbness which makes me feel like I could care less about what I think which I could say is the worst of all. Literally, I don't know how to escape it.

Would you mind sharing how it’s been for you?
Literally this! Thinking my feeling towards them aren’t real and I start acting funny and I actually don’t like them it’s all in my head
Can any of you with relationship ocd please share your experiences below?? Don't be afraid to give details!!! I want to know your experiences and relate to you guys!!! Mine was when I first told my crush I liked him. A month or two after that, we became official. That's when all the anxiety kicked it and when my life turned upside down. I got lots of ugly thoughts like my boyfriend wasn't attractive, me hurting him or killing him, all these awful ugly things that ruined everything and made me depressed and anxious. Whenever I thought someone else was attractive I would feel so so bad and thought I didn't love him. It was awful 😞 now I just for us on his imperfections and makes me fear he's unnattractive even though he's not. Ugh I wish this would end
