Hey beautiful people 🌈 Anyone else have cheating ROCD ? Constant fear of being cheated on and cheating ? How do you cope with it, and with your partner if you have one ? I need some coping advice please 🥺🫠🫠
It’s very difficult, it’s hard in intimacy, hard to even look at them sometimes because you feel this guilt and shame
However i just moved in with my partner so I’m hoping the more I’m triggered the more I can do erp the faster I can get better
I’m always scared that potential partners are lying to me or doing things behind my back. It’s really triggering because I’ll look into everything. I’m not really sure how to work on it either! Would love some advice as well
Yeah defined falls into the same category i have that too, i kinda stopped looking into everything because i then feel stupid that i find nothing everytime 🫠 let’s see if someone who has figured out how to deal with this gives us some tips 🥺
This is my fear when getting into a serious relationship 💔
Yeah definetly for me, but now i am mor aware so it’s more like the thoughts are annoying me, like since I’ve started therapy and ERP i know it’s my OCD and it’s intrusive thoughts and it’s not real so it just bothers me and i sometimes i just can’t stop ruminating endlessly of the cheating subject then i get pissed at my partner even if he has nothing to do with it 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ It’s my biggest trigger honestly so the hardest to cope and calm down… so yeah looking for tips maybe from others who experience the same 🥺🫠🥲
It sucks thoufh
I’m in a new relationship and it’s takes the joy and lust out of everything I hate it
Oh !! That’s awesome, you are doing great then 😊 we are not yet at the stage of moving in, but i do agree it removes the joy and lust when i start thinking of this because how can i enjoy the moments if my brain keeps telling me he cheated on me or i cheated on him with no proof of anything concrete. I just want it to stop, thing is i don’t even give into the thoughts i call them out but they stay and make me anxious for hours on and it just sucks 🤯🫠😞
Yeah i try to expose myself to as much triggers as possible, but honestly the cheating one is like hell for me
Does anyone every worry about their significant other cheating on them with Rocd?
Plz only respond with positive advice or thoughts. Last time I posted someone responded with a bad thought and it made everything worse. I have ROCD and I am absolutely terrified that I might cheat or doing something that’s cheating. Like everything is either bad or good. It’s all just black and white. I’ve never slept with anyone, given my number out, kissed anyone, texted anyone or secretly been seeing anyone. I freak out over things like making eye contacts with a guy and I notice he thinks I’m pretty (which feels good cuz I struggle with insecurities) and I make eye contact for too long, but the entire time I have no intentions of doing any with this guy and I’m very prepared to tell him I have a boyfriend if he comes over and telling him to leave. Anyways, that’s an example of the small things I tend to obsess over and just wondering if anyone worries about the same thing and any positive advice you could give before I go insane.
I think I have relationship OCD. I will be doing great with my boyfriend then out of no where I get this intrusive thought that he thinks other people are attractive and has a wandering eye for others and I need reassurance immediately. And when he gives me reassurance, I think he’s lying. After like an hour of back and forth repetitive conversation I feel better, then the next day it happens again. Every. Single. Day. I freak out and blow up and need reassurance. I can’t tell if I’m getting these thoughts because they are true or because I’ve been with someone in the past who has cheated on me so I believe that all people get these thoughts. I’m so ready for a cure. Does anyone know what to do? I don’t want to live with this
