Can someone please share their story about their experience with ROCD during dating, and the transition from dating into marriage? What was it like? How was the wedding day?
there’s a woman on tiktok who has ocd and is engaged , her posts are really great & i think you’d appreciate her content her tiktok is @phebelou
I did ERP therapy and I know I can be independent on my own but I don’t WANT TO because I love my spouse even with his faults. Relationships are about compromise and it’s work. But that’s life in a nutshell too.
I’d be curious to hear this too! I know my brother has ROCD and his wedding day was lovely. He and his wife had a whole dance routine for which they changed into chic tennis shoes. The vibe was happy and they’re still married! Over 10 years now! I also have ROCD.
That's awesome ❤️
Hey, I’ve attached a really useful link for you to have a read over if you like. OCD loves causing doubt and questioning our moral values, so anything that should be happy and amazing like a wedding can be like sugar to a baby for OCD!!! I would highly recommend ERP prior to your wedding day to help you take some control over your OCD 😬 Relationship OCD- https://www.treatmyocd.com/blog/relationship-ocd
I'm not engaged but am in a long term relationship and am considering marriage in the future
I’ve been really struggling with Relationship OCD since I got married, and 3 years later, I’m afraid I’ve lost the love of my life. Between the Relationship OCD, the Religious OCD, and the Sexuality OCD, she couldn’t handle it anymore. Now that she left, the fog of doubt has faded, and I’m realizing how much I truly loved her all along. I just don’t understand how our minds can play such sabotaging tricks on us. And why? I don’t know what to do. I hope and pray we eventually get back together, but I know I need help. I want to do whatever I can to return to a place where she can feel loved by me, the way she did before ROCD took over. Is anyone here going through something similar? Has anyone overcome ROCD? Were you able to repair your relationship? I’d really appreciate any insight or advice. Thank you.
Not reassurance seeking just want to know if someone else has dealt with this. When I mention marriage and stuff, my brain and body feel off and it feels as if I don’t want it. I don’t feel excited talking abt it even tho I talk abt it. I can’t tell if I actually don’t want it or if it’s ocd. Is there any true way to tell? Has anyone else dealt with this? When I talk about honey moon or whatever it feels like maybe I don’t want it. I think it’s commitment issues
Has anyone's ROCD caused trouble in the relationship in regards to talking about marriage? It's caused a lot of problems for me. And it turn, it causes her to doubt and then that comes back to me as full blown OCD. It's really difficult
