Yo, smallbird. I wouldn't say that about peace. I definitely think that peace can come again.

He sounds terrible. Sorry you're putting yourself through that and sorry he's doing that. Anyone or anything not building me up has to go. Took me a while to do it. ??

Smallbird, 2/3 of the world has herpes. And most people actually contract it from their parents when they’re young, not sexually: https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/two-thirds-of-the-world-population-has-herpes/ But even if I convince you that (1) chances are you or your partner have already had herpes for a long time OR (2) that it’s not a big deal, your OCD would just try to latch onto some other disease or infection. You may in fact have herpes! But guess what: that still won’t prove/disprove that you cheated. It will just mean that somewhere along the way you got it from one of the many normal interactions people have in their lives.

Tell him to stop “teasing” you about this. Now. You’re going to have to be upfront: “I haven’t and won’t cheat on you. The accusations, even in joking form, trigger my OCD and hurt my feelings. They’re disrespectful to me and my integrity. I understand that you’ve been cheated on before and you’re insecure about it now, but that has nothing to do with me.” And then do not accept any more accusations. If he tries, tell him you’ve already told him how this makes you feel and walk away.

I agree with the other replies. Tell him his accusations trigger your OCD and if he continues, you should sit him down and talk about it. It's not healthy for either of you. Trust should be a component of your relationship.

What's the worst that could happen if you did have it?

My boyfriend would probably think I cheated and would leave me. I know that he triggers my OCD but I just wish I could control it better and not create a new obsession so easily.

In all reality, as much as no one likes to think it, he could have cheated. My ex husband did and I was naieve and young and never guessed it.

I had yeast infection maybe 2 weeks ago because of horrible stress and probably it's back. Today isn't itchy at all, I feel like I'm paranoid. There's no redness, or any other symptom of anything, there was just slight little itch. The thing is, he accuses me of cheating, and few days ago he said as a joke "Haha, maybe you have genital herpes, maybe you had sex with someone on your collage". I WOULD NEVER CHEAT ON HIM! Since that day I'm obsessed with having genital herpes. And I'm not afraid of that virus, I'm afraid he would never believe me I didn't cheat. I told him "Well, if I have it, I could only got it from you." and he just continued to tease me. Someone said what he's doing is emotional abuse called gaslighting. I understand that, it's probably true, but I still love him. And I know he's just extremely insecure. That doesn't justify his actions but I know where those accusations are coming from. I just want those accusations to stop trigger my OCD so much. If he said "Haha you probably have HIV" I would obsess over HIV. Everything he accuses me of turns into an obsession. I don't think he cheated on me, he was cheated on before by two ex girlfriends and it hurt him so much he said he would rather die than do that to another person. He has huge trust issues, but I feel there's nothing I can do to change that, and that scares me a lot.

I’m begging ANYONE help I can’t take it anymore!!
I feel awful that I keep coming on here whenever I’m down bad but oh my gosh OCD is the most painful shit that I have EVER experienced in my life and I have a physical chronic illness…. I hate to say it but I hate living right now it’s too painful… im crying as I type to the point where my stomach is hurting, I have pretty severe ocd I do have generalized anxiety and idk if that is connected with ocd but because of that I have most of the subtypes REAL EVENT OCD,POCD,ZOCD,ROCD,SOCD HARM OCD, you name it and I got it!!! a lot of also why I have have those theme is trauma growing up and involving those things^ as of right now i’m 25 and a women with the most loving boyfriend in the entire world before my ocd hit me I NEVER questioned my love and care and attraction with the love of my life I always knew I was going to marry and be with this person the rest of my life! Now with ocd it confuses me soooo much and now I think I’m gay and didn’t realize or indenial and listen I get it “don’t look for reassurance!” “It’s not the thing ocd is attacking that is the problem ocd is the actual problem!” Here’s the thing with that if I’m in a relationship and I’m gay that would mean I would have to leave that said relationship and to say that “oh yeah that stuff happens and you’ll move on” is absolutely devastating to me this is THE LOVE OF MY LIFE and your telling me that iv been lying to myself this whole time or that I didn’t realize?!?!? And that sexuality can change (even though some say it can’t google says otherwise and some people have said it can’t idek anymore) and all this other BULLSHIT I can’t take it WHY?!?! why does this have to happen why can’t I just be with my love the rest of my life?!? and yes before anyone says anything I have been attracted to girls more so when I was younger watching lesbian porn liking the body’s and fantazing them sexually it stopped when I got older but I still don’t get disgusted with women who are pretty it just makes me uncomfortable because I’m with the love of my life and before I remember talking to my partner and discussing certain childhood things I experienced and we discussed that we both could be a little bi and for certain I’m (demi sexual so I don’t even really care about looks) and I truly didn’t care!! NOW I do care even with being bi because again I don’t like thinking about anyone else but my partner but I do also know my parents are homophobic and I do think about if I am gay they wouldn’t be okay with that and I also dont want to deal with that so now I sound like in indenial right?!???? I didn’t even care about labels before my ocd it just didn’t matter but now it’s effected my sex life and it’s hard for me to enjoy sex with being so confused I’m so confused I googled everything can you still have sexual fantasies with same gender but still be straight? Can you fantasize about same gender or imagine marrying them all of it !!! And non of that disgusts me it just makes me uncomfortable AGIAN only bc I just love the partner I’m with right now!!! I’m so fucking confused do I have to leave my partner and accept that I’m gay is that going to happen in the future if I get better with ocd and find out it’s been true all along?!???

I feel anxious
I’m on my period and o think my ocd feels a little worse today… I feel anxious and like something bad is about to happen, like I can’t move or talk cause I’ll freak out or snap and do something. Also I had a gronial response about an SA topic and I feel horrible, I’ve noticed that I do have these gronials as if I’m actually into that but idk if it can happen that you have the gronial and think “oh I’m horny, not about this but I am” is that possible? Idk how to say it… also I think I just want reassurance but I’m also scared…
