I’m in this stage too. It’s really hard during this stage but I’ve learned this is really the ocd talking. It’s a doubting disorder that eventually will make you doubt you even have ocd. What’s helped me is responding to the thoughts saying “maybe i love him maybe I don’t” I don’t need to accept the thought but I just recognize it’s there and try to let it fly by. (It takes a lot of effort tho) if that’s too triggering right now then just try to label every doubting thought about your relationship or if you even have ocd as “ocd thinking.” That helps, for me at least, put things in perspective and get a sense of reality

Thank you both for the post and response. It’s soothing to know that I am not the only one and that the thoughts can change. I’m wondering how long these intrusive thoughts can last ?

I make lists of good qualities- sometimes going back to the good qualities I appreciate about my person help. Also, I don’t always have to be IN LOVE with him to be choosing the relationship. My kids make me crazy a lot and I don’t feel overwhelming love for them everyday but I choose them everyday. I think maybe love could be consistently choosing even when someone is less than loveable. I think I would feel more loved if someone liked me even on my worst days - maybe my partner feels the same?

Lately, I’ve been feeling like my relationship isn’t real. I keep thinking: • Why am I even with him? • Do I actually like him, or am I just used to him? • What if I’m just convincing myself that I like him? I feel numb, disconnected, and nothing I tell myself reassures me. Sometimes, I get really irritable when we talk, I don’t feel joy, and I start overanalyzing everything. It makes me feel like the absolute truth is that I don’t like him, and I’m just in denial. I also heard that when you don’t like someone, there’s no anxiety—just relief. But I have moments where the thought “I don’t want to be with him” crosses my mind, and I don’t feel anything at all. And because I don’t panic immediately, I start thinking “Maybe this means it’s true.” I’ve read that love isn’t about feeling excitement 24/7, but my mind keeps telling me that if I don’t feel connected, if I have to search for reasons why I like him, that must mean I don’t. I feel like I’m losing touch with my emotions, and no matter what I do, I can’t seem to feel love or happiness the way I used to. It’s like I keep waiting for some proof that I truly want to be with him, but I never find it. Has anyone else felt this way? I feel like I’m trapped in this endless doubt, and I don’t know what’s real anymore.

What if I really don’t like my partner? What if I’m gaslighting myself into thinking that my intuition could be OCD? What if we’re just not meant to be? I’m so confused
