I’m afraid I don’t love my boyfriend (ROCD??)
Hello, I’ve been recently diagnosed with OCD and I struggle mostly with ROCD right now. I had a traumatic breakup last year and am now in a new relationship and we’ve been together for 8 months now. I really do feel like I love him but I sometimes don’t feel the romantic emotions as much anymore and sometimes he annoys me or I just feel a bit bored in the relationship. I really don’t want to break up with him and I’m so scared of breaking up but I’m so afraid he isn’t “the one” or that we aren’t compatible. Is it normal to have these worries? Does this mean we aren’t right for each other? My therapist mentioned ROCD usually consists of irrational fears and that my fears seem rational so it may not be OCD so I’m terrified and can’t stop thinking about it. I’ve also had an instance before where I had an intrusive image of my ex during an intimate moment and it made me feel like I was cheating and then I felt the need to confess to my boyfriend. I know that was ROCD for sure but I’m not sure if the rest is. I really don’t want to lose him but I’m worried that I don’t love him or that we aren’t right for each other.
