I used to wonder this as well! I think our OCD has made us super in tune with thinking about anything and everything and we judge ourselves for thinking about anything and everything too! Your boyfriend - Other people look at themselves or you and think hmmmmm why do her eyes look like that, or her smile, or she’s cute, or hot! But then they continue. They usually don’t stop and think oh why did I think that? What does that mean? Do I like them? Do I hate them? Your ocd is making you over analyze when it’s completely normal to observe someone’s face or body and wonder why it is the way it is or what it means, but just don’t judge yourself for thinking these thoughts because they’re just thoughts! He can’t hear them lol and you’ll also be glad you can’t hear his thoughts, we’re all human and it doesn’t mean you love him any less!
These thoughts, personally, always have me feeling like I am stuck in a relationship that doesn’t make me as happy as I want to be. I think ocd, in this sense, rocd, changes our idea of satisfaction when we meet our partners. We should enjoy our time with these people, but we constantly think and think until we no longer see this person as “perfect” so they aren’t good enough. I don’t even realize I’m looking for “just right” or “perfect” when I do this. It sucks
Yeah cuz I’m constantly overanalyzing so I pick my boyfriend apart mentally trying to “prove” he’s the right one
Sometimes I feel so evil and disgusting for picking my boyfriend apart. It scares me and I feel horrible. With time, I’ve been able to identify when OCD creeps in and starts to take over:)
I keep feeling bad that I didn’t find my partner that cute at first. I didn’t think he was unattractive but when I first met him it was at work and him and this other guy were new. I thought the other guy was more attractive at the time. I even vocalized it to a friend. NOW my boyfriend is my whole world and I think he’s the most handsome man ever. Even more handsome than the guy I originally thought was cute. I don’t have a problem with his appearance or anything. I just feel guilty over not finding him more attractive than the other guy. It feels wrong and of course my thoughts are saying I should tell him this but I know it’ll just hurt his feelings.
i don’t know what to do anymore. i love my boyfriend but i also feel so guilty because i critcism him in my mind and im really controlling and i know that and im pretty sure if i really loved him i wouldn’t be thinking the things i do about him sometimes i wish he was smarter or did certain things and i hate it is it bad that i think that? part of me thinks i should just give up and find someone perfect and wait for the real one but i also love him and he’s my best friend and i don’t want to lose him but at the same time i want to break up with him because sometimes certain things don’t feel right and just the fact that i have cirticisms about him makes me feel terrible and he’s so so perfect and sweet and i think he deserves someone better and i really don’t know what to do please help i wanted it to be him i did and it just feels like something’s going to happen to us like i’m going to break up with him but at the same time i don’t want to but i don’t want to feel like this forever i wish i didn’t judge him because he’s perfect and i planned my future with him but i also can’t stand having all these thoughts and it’s not right to him either and i love him but i don’t even know what to do anymore i want to be with him forever but i want this to go away and i wish he was different but i also know i can’t make anyone change and it’s bad that i don’t love him just the way he is? shouldn’t he deserve someone who loves him just the way he is i just feel so awful and sick this is going to break my heart it feels like i should break up but at the same time i start crying as soon as i think about losing him please help im paralyzed and sick and losing my mind
I’m not saying any of this to be rude or hateful in any way!! Basically, I like this guy and I really love him, but, everytime I look at this one photo of him, I keep noticing he looks unflattering and it makes me worry, because I’m scared what if he’s ugly? And why does that even matter? Why can’t I just love him in peace without having to check his photo to make sure he’s not ugly? Like that sounds really rude and disrespectful and it hurts even more to know that he’s self conscious and I would NEVER want to hurt him so I don’t tell him I check his photo to make sure he’s not ugly, I get anxious when I notice/feel that he is unattractive/unflattering, so I check till I feel certain that I don’t think he’s ugly, why do I even do this? Why does it matter? Why does my brain make it difficult to even look at a photo without worrying, can I be normal? I say “I think he’s cute/I love him” to his photo and my brain is like “nope cuz he’s unattractive” then I get worried and for what??? I ask myself why do I care and I genuinely don’t know
