Is this OCD?
I'm separate from my long term partner for over two years now. He didn't treat me very well and leaving him had been the right thing to do. I wasn't sad about it in the last year, only disappointed in him for neglecting me for years and not having the guts to end it himself. In March I had a health crises and as he is an MD, I reached out after about a year of no contact. He helped me, which I'm grateful for, but since I saw him again, I think about him every day. I am certain, I don't love him any more, but the - Why did you treat me like that? - Why did you search and find someone new so quickly? Why did you marry her not even two years after we split up? Why are you happy now and I'm a lonely wreck, when I left you so I can become happy? I posted it her before, when we saw each other again, he confirmed that me suffering from OCD ruined our relationship and now I feel reluctant to meet people, it is one thing to be cut out for being oneself, but another for being cut out due to an illness oneself hates and struggles with. If this obsessing about it, thoughts about him popping up in my head constantly, is OCD, how can I get over it? I do pick up on the thoughts and I also cry a lot due to them. ERP doesn't mean pushing thoughts away, but engaging in them and going down the rabbit hole many times a day for weeks now didn't make them pop up less frequently either. Any tips, or ideas?
