@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!

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.

ROCD
I just got out of a 4 year relationship that ended around the beginning of February. In the beginning of the 4 year relationship I had intrusive thoughts about the way I was behaving around my partner, this went on for a few months not knowing what it was or that it was ROCD. I remember it was bad and did not want to deal with what I was feeling. I defeated it and was ok for the first 3 years after that. But it just made me feel like I wasn’t being my true, authentic , funny self I wanted to be for my partner. It was horrible. Now I’m in a new relationship that has been awesome as far as the beginning goes but now I’m back to that intrusive thought and ROCD. Irs to the point where I feel like I can’t be myself and I’m not happy or excited about anything anymore I’m constantly stressed out thinking about it.
