I hate feeling the need to confess. Based on what usually helps me, this is my recommendation - The best thing I think you can do is to delay the confession. You don’t have to decide or know whether or not you should tell him or not right now. Maybe it’s only OCD, maybe it’s something you really should talk about. But you don’t need to figure that out. right now confessing is compulsive so continue to delay it.. and if the anxiety subsides and you don’t feel the need to obsess over it anymore but you still think it’s worth talking to him about, then you can take it from there

I did a very similar thing but they dumped me the first time I snooped. they knew i was cheated on in the past & suffer with relationship ocd, but forgave me for looking at their phone, but dumped me 2 weeks later over it. do you think i should forgive myself or that they should’ve given me a chance? I get the same thoughts as you so as you know it’s not wanted & so hard to control but i feel like my ex wouldn’t hear me out & i was the one that confessed i did it in the first place right away

Betrayal in a relationship .. is toxic.. having OCD myself, I can’t deal with elusiveness. To me, they are head games and I’m generally, on point.. when I’m in an environment or situation where that is present.. I’m like “hey, if you talked behind my back”.. then just tell me. Transparency is pure.. and I’d settle for Pure over anything, any day.. to me.. that’s someone who really cares enough to keep a relationship pure.

I often feel like i did something wrong even tho i am positive i didn’t, my boyfriend and i have been together for like 6 months and i’ve been completely loyal to him the whole time but recently i’ve been feeling the need to confess that i cheated on him even tho i didn’t and there’s absolutely no proof that i did something even close, i don’t talk to other men and if i do my boyfriend has full access to my phone and it’s usually a friend or me asking a simple question but i still feel the need to confess even tho i’ve done nothing wrong🥲 someone please help it’s so confusing

I’ve been feeling the compulsion of confession again. I hate confessing things to my boyfriend I don’t want him to carry the burden. I’d rather hurt than him hurt. But I feel I did something wrong and he needs to know. Like I need to be punished or something. I may be over reacting to it but I just feel guilty and I had a panic attack when I woke up yesterday. I would never cheat on him. Just making guys laugh I feel like I am doing him wrong or flirting. And then when I notice it I just feel awful. I just want to be liked and noticed not romantically but just as a human. I don’t know why I act like this and feel the need to tell him as if I slept with someone. I think it’s attacking my biggest fear which is losing him. Does anyone have experience with this?
