I understand your struggle. I’ve been with my girlfriend for over 2 years now and I am constantly evaluating our relationship. Is she right for me? Is there someone better? Should we break up? I found that most of that thinking happens when I’m not with her. I enjoy my time with her and so a lot of the time, I’m not thinking about it then. Best way I get through it is to remind myself of that when my rocd is acting up and try and distinguish that from my reality.

I know deep in my heart if I broke up it would destroy me and her were best friends as well as lovers .... I challenged myself to do it when it came to it I couldn't I know once the anxiety settles the intrusive thoughts dont spike as much just been bad with it for last 8 weeks now and its tiring me out fighting it daily but I keep telling myself I'm fighting it for a reason that's the reality

Do you have an OCD specialist nearby you can work with? Without learning to cope with ocd in general, our minds tend to theme hop a lot. We can get over one but another will immediately pop up. I would recommend not breaking up with your gf! It sounds like you love her a lot and your ROCD is simply attacking what matters most. Remember that the flip side of every theme is a value: you value your relationship, so your ocd is using that care against you.

It does make sense. I’ve had those days too. I know it feels like the hardest thing in the world, but try and trust yourself. Wish I had more advice for you.
