@r.m.1 There’s no romance due to rocd made me avoid kissing being romantic she took on a more caring side role due to having to help me with my thoughts towards her I used to avoid looking at girls but after theapry I can look at them and get such an intense overwhelming sexual feeling for them but not for my gf it makes me think I’m better of single

Me! Don't give up, it will take time but remind yourself what you're fighting for. OCD loves to latch on to the things we value the most, but we don't have to let it stay there. Give yourself grace as you work through this and practice stopping OCD thoughts in their tracks. If it gives you anxiety and you have the immediate urge to "fix" it somehow, it's likely your OCD trying to creep up on you.

I've dealt with having ROCD many times to the point where I would cry because I knew it was sabotaging my relationships. It wasn't until I was up front and honest with my now wife of seven years about my OCD that I was able to get past it. Sure we have ups and downs but we still love each other so much. So be honest about it and if the person cares they will stick by you. Talking openly about it is a big first step. If they can't stick by you then you need to do what you think is best for yourself. Best of luck.

@Anonymous I have been honest with my gf abit too honest (talking her my thoughts ) which has lead her to be upset a lot, she has been amazing very understanding and got me therapy which helped a lot I rarely find myself struggling with ocd but now I’m struggling with our relationship due to all the trauma and me avoiding romance ,kissing ect it’s left us feeling weird like the spark is gone we can go weeks/months without kissing I don’t feel content. Went swimming on her bd and I used to not be able to look at girls for over a year would almost cause car crashes avoiding looking at other girls due to rocd being around loyalty but I had such strong urges to really check the girls out and had such overwhelming sexual desires towards them which I don’t get towards my gf which makes me think I’m better off single

Yes, I have been able to enjoy my partner after working through ROCD. As long as they are understanding and supportive throughout the journey. It makes it a bit easier to get back to where you want to be again.

Yup, my girlfriend and I are about to hit 3 years. You can totally be happy and healthy with any type of OCD. It’s just communion is key and an understanding partner is even better. Patience and kindness always

I just had a partner and wanted to leave because of ROCD. But it's nice to see people who have a good relationship here!

Rocd ??
Please help. Been with my boyfriend for 15 months. 6 months into our official relationship I found out he kissed someone 1 week before he asked out officially. He told me he loved me at that time and I felt we were exclusive. He apparently did not . He also agreed he would not watch porn and lied once about it. I also have been spinning about the types of women he thinks are attractive and I find disgusting so I sent him pictures for months hoping he would say it looks gross but he didn’t and it killed me. Throughout the relationship I have been spinning about these issues really hard and it damaged my trust for him but I know he’s an amazing great guy I just feel very uneasy. It has been 1 year of me spinning about these issues and other little ones constantly texting him everyday and my friends about them to try to figure things out but I am unhappy . 4 months ago I had a severe breakdown and since I am severely depressed and anxious every day all day with thoughts of is this a wrong relationship , comparing him to other men, wondering if I would be happier with someone else. I have been seeing a therapist seeing a therapist one thinks I have rocd and a psychologist doesn’t . Nothing is helping me and I’m on Zoloft . I broke up with him a month ago and I’m still spinning in circles if I made the right decision or if I left over rocd and overblowing the issues that bothered me . Someone please tell me if you think this is rocd (edited)

Will a relationship help?
If I manage to get a girlfriend will the ocd go away or will it get worse and be combined with rocd aka “what if I don’t actually like her and want to be with a guy” and then it will all go downhill. If that’s the case I don’t think I should start a relationship because I dont want the girl to go through all that.
