As someone who has been cheated on, I hope you hear me when I say you're worth forgiving yourself and it is the only way to move on! We all make mistakes in this life, how we learn and grow and do better from them is what shows our character even more I think!

ive cheated and its all been forgiven even though we aren't together anymore. i sometimes feel guilt because its against my values but the main way i understand it is how much i was hurting and hated myself when i did it... i wouldn't have done it if i was healthy at the time. its more a reminder now to be kind to myself and take care of my mental health. guilt is useless unless it's functional and causes you to reflect and change :)

I have cheated at a very bad part of my life, and the guilt never goes away. Every time I look at my wife I feel it

@casperjeremy I hope you learn to forgive yourself also, if you’re with your wife it sounds like either she doesn’t know or she has forgiven you and you can find peace in either of those.

I got really drunk the other night and cheated. I’ve been needing to get out of this relationship because I haven’t felt respected. That does not mean my actions were okay. I just don’t know how to live with myself. I’ll need to break up with him. The person I cheated with was holding me and making me feel loved and I realized that what I need. My boyfriend and I need to find healthy love. Where we both feel valued and respected. I hope the guilt goes away but most importantly I hope the pain i caused will heal. This is a nightmare. And the internet just says I’m a horrible person and all I’ve wanted in life is to been a good person. I don’t know what to do. I talked to the crisis hotline last night and that helped a bit. I’m trying not to be selfish with this situation.

Always wondering
Hey everyone I know I’ve mentioned this before but, I wanted to share again just in case if anyone new sees this. I deal with cheating ocd really bad, like I always have thoughts about the past and such and get worried about things. I know my morals and values and I know id never ever cheat, but my mind always loves to play the “What if” game. It really sucks. My boyfriend is the sweetest and a god sent to me and he is always there for me but ugh this ocd dealing with cheating and false memory/real events kills me, anyone else relate? I dont know how to put up with it anymore, Just today I remembered I had an old twitter account which is now X, but I remembered I deleted my account a long long time ago but ugh I used to be on twitter so much awhile ago and my ocd acted up and was like “You better go check to make sure you didn’t do anything.” And I remembered I sat with myself and said “I know my morals I would never do that to him.” And then my ocd was like “Are you sure? What if you did?” Etc and my anxiety is now so bad about it now :(

OCD Guilt
I can’t help but feel so anxious because of guilt. I feel guilty about not sharing everything about my OCD to my partner, but because I understand that confession itself is a compulsion and would not help anyone. I feel so anxious too that if all my fears come true and she finds out, then it would be so devastating for everyone especially her. Does anyone feel the same thing? How could I change my perspective on this?

ROCD Guilt
How do people with ROCD deal with the guilt? I recently started ERP but feel so guilty sometimes when I talk to him or think about him knowing I’m stuck dealing with these thoughts. It hurts me so bad because I love him more than anything in the world but my OCD keeps trying to make me think of leaving him or hurting him.
