Emotionally unavailable relationships
Hey guys, does anyone know if OCD gets worse during times of conflict, specifically unspoken stuff? My partner is really resistant to talking things out and instead chooses to ignore our problems, which makes things awkward and tense. She told me she puts things off because of her parents relationship, but at a certain point it feels like an excuse for her not to even try. This has been going on for 3 years, and our conflicts still feel the same. Me bringing up a problem or situation, and her seeming annoyed and apologizing in a tone that’s clearly upset. If she thinks I’m wrong then I wanna hear that, cus I prefer to discuss both our feelings. I’ve asked her for that, I’ve asked her to meditate, journal, etc in her free time too, but she doesnt do it. I know she cares but it doesnt feel like she knows how to care sometimes. I feel like I need to leave so that I can focus on my recently diagnosed OCD, and so I can feel like myself again. I don’t think its ROCD, i actually think I’ve been convincing myself to stay in something that I’m not happy in. I always assumed it was me just having commitment issues, and to hold on and push thru it. At this point it feels like I can’t stand to be in this relationship anymore. This is probably not the best place for this post, but maybe someone relates.
