@Jo ROCD is short for Relationship OCD , which is when your OCD attaches itself to your relationship and you always question and ruminate about whether or not the relationship is right for you. it can vary for everyone , but in my case I obsess about my partner’s “flaws” and I also spend a lot of time worrying about how long our relationship will last. I know this explanation is not the best, but if you have any questions please ask :)

Are you asking as a form of reassurance?

@Mjs110160 Hi!! i’m not asking for reassurance, but I was actually wondering what some other people experience just so I could understand how everyone’s experience is different! that’s all, sorry if it came out wrong .

Well I usually fear I’m not in love with him, and a big one is fearing the only love I have for him is platonic when I love to be intimate with him. As well as fears of wanting to leave or not wanting to be with him and be with someone else

@Jo I’m not sure where you’re really getting at with this comment? Relationship ocd is a huge thing in many people’s lives and it doesn’t even need certain things to trigger it, it can just happen without outside figures like a break up or something. That’s how mine started but that’s beyond the point. Ocd LA has an article on it and the YouTube channel Awaken Into Love talks more about it bc she had it and got engaged despite it

Just wondering
I started having intrusive thoughts about my sexuality when I got into a relationship with my ex and I wondered if it would seemingly go away but it hasn’t and I find myself ruminating about it constantly especially before or during my period. Has anyone else felt with this?

R-OCD...cheating fears
Currently I have several different OCD fears that pop up throughout the week depending on the situation. I've noticed a commonality between all of them are the fears relating to memory/false memory. Today is the ROCD struggle I've been dealing with. I know OCD has been trying this on me lately because of how much I love my spouse. They are my absolute best friend and she's my world. I value our marriage and friendship more than anything. OCD has latched onto one specific female coworker. And I don't even know why because even if I were single I wouldn't be into her. Even still, OCD makes me think I've cheated on my wife every time I'm alone with this coworker at work. Always starts as a what if, followed by imagery, followed by feelings that I must've actually done something and can't remember it. Usually fearing I've kissed her. It hurts because I know I'd never do that to my wife and I love her so much...the idea of losing her kills me, especially if it were the result of something I did. Just wanted to vent. Feel free to share your experiences or vents as well

Question
So with my theme of ocd, ( hocd ) I get persistent intrusive images, and thoughts. It’s not like one or two a day. Like if I’m out for the whole day they’re constant. I feel I can’t even look at a girl now without her intrusive thoughts about her or about me fancying her and even sexual intrusive thoughts.. It’s awful. It’s everywhere I look. Is this common with ocd with any themes? Like is it constant for you guys too?
