Advice Needed (ROCD)
I messed up, badly, and need advice from others who may have also made similar grave mistakes. I had a lot of intrusive (ROCD) thoughts concerning my partner’s looks, and I spiraled heavily about it to the point where I told him. While he thought it was my intrusive thoughts talking, he was still seriously hurt by them and it made his mental health worse, and he felt he couldn’t talk to me when he needed it. About a month later, he talks to me about this, and I have never felt so guilty in my entire life. I know now that they are intrusive thoughts, and I regret sharing them. I feel physically sick with myself. I’ve apologized a lot, yet I feel he deserves better. I want to stay with him, but I cannot forgive myself for this, especially with how I’ve hurt him. I don’t know what advice I am looking for, but I don’t know what else I can do to help this situation that I’ve single-handedly caused.
