Does anyone else get triggered a lot when they read articles about "loosing feelings" or simply "falling out of love"? Because most I've read talk about how it was just a gut feeling that they weren't in love with their partner anymore and that they needed to leave them and that it's better that way. Personally I don't really see any problems in my relationship and would consider it very healthy, but I can't shake off the feeling that "what if I have the same gut feeling"? Or what if I don't even have ocd? I hope this makes sense to anyone... I'm just very confused, because I really want my relationship to work out but I feel like I'm making myself crazy

People with ocd don’t have the luxury of super clear and reliable “gut feelings.” Other people may have them and good for them! Not us. When we look to our gut, it just turns into a checking compulsion followed by rumination (also a compulsion) which leads to obsession. Enjoy your relationship. Forget your gut.

Yes! Someone told me to trust my gut but I feel like that's the worst advice to me. I have to trust my rational side of my brain above everything else
