Relationships are tough with OCD. I have been in this boat where I want to text and call multiple times and get their attention. We need to learn though, if someone doesn’t want our time, we can’t force them to have it. I know that hurts and it probably produces a lot of anxiety, but it sounds like you want control of the situation. Fact is, we can’t be in control of our relationships! I would stop with the texts and calls. That is a compulsion and you’re giving in to what your OCD wants. You can always write down your thoughts to him and sit with the discomfort of being ignored. This is definitely a learning point and a good time to establish boundaries for yourself! Do you really want someone who doesn’t understand you? Do you think this is even fair treatment toward you to ignore you? Think of the values you need in your relationship.
