Is this a compulsion
Is making a plan how you will tell your partner it’s over a compulsion?

If you feel relif maybe is a compulsion
I think it depends. If you're making a plan to be prepared and safe, and feel satisfied with a plan, I'd say no. But if you're going in circles trying to figure out the right thing to do and feeling unsatisfied, then I'd say yes
If you no longer have feelings for that person then maybe it’s not a compulsion but the truth .
@Ilovemyhusband0322. Was that directed at me ?
@Ilovemyhusband0322. Thought I was trying to help , but seeing as you know so much why don’t you steer her in the right direction instead of just being a troublemaker .
@Ilovemyhusband0322. Be more mindful after you telling me my OCD is nothing and I’m a troll , for making one comment which I think isn’t as bad as you’re making out . You really are a work of art , I thought everyone with OCD was equal not a mines more important than your one approach .

@Ilovemyhusband0322. It’s called divorce look it up , lots of people do it when they no longer have feelings for each other .
@Ilovemyhusband0322. I never said that you just wake up one day and have no feelings for someone , that’s what you’ve come up with .
@Ilovemyhusband0322. I didn’t particularly want to argue but you left me no choice , after your rant at me . Also pretty much saying I’m lying about my OCD , and I’m the one who should be more mindful can’t you see how hypocritical you sound .
@Ilovemyhusband0322. I can assure you that when I commented on the post the last thing I wanted to do was offend or trigger her , it certainly wasn’t my intention . I don’t want to fall out with you either , we’re going through enough without ripping strips off each other . I respect you for defending her but you didn’t need to , my intentions were 💯 honourable .
@Ilovemyhusband0322. Likewise , I’ll have your back too . You take care and have an amazing weekend .
@Ilovemyhusband0322. Glad this ended with love 🙏🏻

FINALLY identified a core fear of mine and it is deceit and lying by omission. My biggest compulsions are confession & rumination. I immediately WANT to confess to whoever the theme is about, BUT since I am NOT acting on the compulsion (*yay*), I feel like I am lying by omission. For example, I will think of a mistake I made in the past, become anxious at the thought that my partner would break up with me over it, and then I want to confess so that he has all the information he needs to make an accurate decision on if he wants to be with me. Otherwise, I feel as though I am withholding pertinent information and his decision to be in a relationship with me is based on lies & fabrication. On one hand I am proud of myself for not compulsively oversharing / acting on compulsivity. On the other hand I worry I am stepping out of my values of honesty & integrity. Or perhaps worse, claiming “compulsion” in the name of hiding from the possibility of whatever consequence may result in me sharing the mistake. Any recommendations?
I’m obsessing over the future and if my boyfriend and I are going to make it. I know it’s ocd because the thought won’t leave. Discussing the future with my boyfriend makes him very stressed because he is in a difficult family situation. I’m trying my hardest to be patient but I need reassurance that there is a plan and timeline in place. We have been dating for almost two years and I’m not ready to live together but I like discussing it and knowing there’s some form of plan. My ocd gets bad when there is no plan. Are there any thoughts or tips to help?
Does anyone know how can you determine ROCD compulsive thoughts vs actual relationship issues necessary to bring up? I’ve been in multiple abusive relationships in the past and I don’t want to go through that again. I’ve been with my partner for 3 years, we’re both mentally ill and we’ve hurt each other a lot over the years. I have some trauma due to their alcoholism, but I want to still be there for her. However my head is constantly telling me that whenever they’re gone I’m worried they’re drinking and cheating, trying to harm themself, planning on harming me or they’re gonna die if im not basically with them 24/7. Even when I want time to myself I force myself to be with them sometimes out of fear. I see them do/say something that might suggest these things (following a new girl, ignoring my texts while they’re out, raising their voice at me etc.) and I’m even more convinced and I don’t know how to stop. I don’t know what is a suspicion I SHOULD bring up to them, and what is just a compulsive thought. :( How do I determine that?
