Anyone with ROCD in a long-term relationship?
I’m married and have been with my husband for almost 10 years. The ROCD has always been there—it comes and goes. Great times and bad times. Anyway, do you all find yourself getting ROCD triggered by certain behaviors done by your partner? For example, my husband will say something annoying to me and then I get a surge of anxiety. I’m so tired of this response. Like, why can’t I just let it go. I say this because lots of posts on here talk about ROCD being triggered randomly (by internal events such as feelings) and not by actual events that occur in a relationship. But especially when you have been with someone for a long time, actual shit happens in your relationship. But of course, ROCD makes me feel all these things mean I shouldn’t be with him. “If you find him annoying, then he isn’t right for you.” Can anyone relate?
