I do this too. I love my girlfriend and I don't at all want to be with anyone else, but I guess doubts spring up about everything; including my physical attraction to her. It does sound like relationship OCD.

Okay good! I absaloutely hate this. We’re going out to a big town for my birthday this weekend and staying in a hotel and I’m panicking already like ‘what if really good looking men are there and my ROCD fuels up’ but it’s crazy cause like we’re going to spend time with each other there’s no reason to panick so much I just don’t get it

It’s ok to be attracted to other people but it depends on how we act and respond I’m learning this to and if there are good looking men there which more than likely will be keep your attention and focus on him all night stare In his eyes as much as possible and don’t make eye contact with anyone I learned that eye contact really pulls me in that dark place and I’ve let it happen so much my girl and child left me give him the attention he needs from and he should do the same

This might be a form of Relationship OCD. If the root fear is that you may not be with the ideal partner, then exposure therapy would be to accept that uncertainty and not try to figure it out.

Yes I mean I have been diagnosed with Relationship OCD but I’ve been with my boyfriend for over a year and I can’t shake these feelings off they feel so real and I hate it cause all I want is for things to workout between us both. I’m not giving up on us for this reason.

Judgy thoughts. I constantly have thoughts criticizing my boyfriend. Some of these are based on insecurities like our height difference, him being shorter than me. It just feels like I always have these negative thoughts and feelings and I always feel like I need to tell my boyfriend. I **know** they’re hurtful but I feel like I’m being dishonest or something if I don’t say something. Why do I constantly want to point out his shortness or if he has a smell that may not be too pleasant (completely human, nothing foul). Why can’t I ever keep it to myself. I used to be able to because I think the normal thing is to notice and move on. I don’t understand why I just can’t or why these thoughts are so persistent. Like I’m constant looking for a flaw. It’s so draining and I can’t imagine how exhausting it is for him apart from confusing and hurtful :( I love him

I keep seeing random people that are "more" attractive than my gf and it just makes me question everything. I will then go through photos of my gf to validate my relationship. This just sucks. Maybe I am with the wrong person?

I love my boyfriend I find him attractive, and I know it’s a choice to see that and appreciate it, but why do I get struck by some men I see who are cute but I’m used to Josh? It’s like he doesn’t strike me as much anymore. He’s cute, but like I want him to strike me and maybe it takes me recognizing what I love. But I’m used to him lol, like I can notice other men’s attraction and obviously not wanna be with them. I’m just tryna figure out healthy ways of thinking. Like I see Josh I notice him but I’m not struck by his handsomeness I’m kind of used to t I guess? Is this infatuation
