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:)

When my boyfriend and I are apart, it honestly feels like I've lost all feelings for him. I start questioning everything, wondering if I even love him at all. Then, when we're finally together again, the memory of those earlier doubts creeps in and completely ruins the moment. I get so caught up in overthinking and analyzing my feelings that I can't even enjoy being with him. It's like I'm constantly second-guessing myself. The worst part is, sometimes later, when we're still together, I do feel the love. But then the anxiety kicks in again! I start worrying that I'm just faking it because I had those doubts earlier in the day. It's this endless cycle of questioning, doubting, and overthinking, and it's exhausting. I'm really struggling to stay present when we're together, and it feels like this constant cycle is preventing me from truly connecting with him. We have been together for three years and we love together, and I just started feeling this way about a month ago; it’s been almost every day since. One day, I randomly thought about breaking up with him. Our relationship is healthy, especially compared to my previous toxic one, where I was anxiously attached for two and a half years. My boyfriend is very supportive of me. I have talked to him about my doubts and everything I’m experiencing, and he continues to support, care for, and help me through it all. I am very grateful for that. One aspect of my current relationship that I would like to improve is our communication, but we are both willing to work on it together. I often find that my overthinking leads me to question whether I really want to try to fix things or if I’d rather just continue as we are. This creates a constant push and pull in our relationship. Has anyone else experienced something similar? Any advice on how to break this cycle and just be present in the moment? I'd love to hear from anyone who's been through something like this.
Does Rocd make it nearly impossible to forgive your partner for anything. Whether it is big or small? My situation is so gray area where there’s something my bf did that I feel like I’m not okay with but he did this when we were first dating (not bf and gf yet). I ruminate all day about it bc I don’t want to lose him and see a future with him and I know he loves me so purely. But I also feel like I’m going against my morals here bc I do feel betrayed by what he did. I try to forgive him by diminishing my feelings and telling myself “he never did anything physical with a girl or went out with another girl while we were together” but still feel so hurt that he even messaged another girl while us dating. He’s given me an explanation and has proved how much I can trust him so I’m just completely stuck on whether I should forgive something I know I would’ve never done to him or leave him even though the only thing he’s done wrong was before us becoming official. I’ve broken up with him countless times over this situation bc I feel like I “can’t live with it” but then immediately when we break up I want him back and I kind of understand his explanation and reasoning. I don’t know what is ocd and what is my real intuition anymore. I genuinely think it’s both. Are any of you guys in the same boat?
