If he wanted to break up with you JUST because you shower too long... this is rediculous and in my opinion if this is the only reason.. then he doesn’t know what love is. Love is unconditional - but more importantly for us with OCD - we need a loved one who understands and stands by us trying to help us with our issues. If your “issues” are too much for him to be there to help you.. then I would tell him his issues are too much for you to handle. Because EVERYONE has issues or needs help with something. You deserve better ❤️❤️ About the showering.. you can take steps by slowly decreasing your time in the shower by setting a timer and not allowing yourself to go past that timer. You will realize you are just as clean and nothing bad happens if you shorten your shower time by 5 mins, then 10 mins, etc..

This just shows that you are way too good for him. If he can't accept that you have a debilitating disorder then it is his loss. I know it is going to be hard because you lived together, but seek comfort in others you are close with at this time and you will find someone worthy of your love and compassion, and who will help you through your tough times instead of telling you you're too much. You are not too much. He obviously doesn't understand the pain you go through every day. I know it seems like an impossible situation right now but trust me when I say it will be okay and you will be better off ❤

Listen what everyone has said here. I spend even more time in the bathroom and I still have a very loving boyfriend. It is possible. You deserve better?

Last night I was staying at my boyfriend’s house and couldn’t sleep. I felt like i desperately needed to go back to my parents and clean and organize my room. This has happened a few times before when I was staying at his place. Since then he’s been very upset with me. Does anyone else’s partner do this? Any advice? It’s been hard. He’s made me feel so shameful for having OCD. As if it’s not tough enough /:

Hey guys! My boyfriend has said recently that he doesn't know if he's strong enough to continue with our relationship because of my OCD. He wants to see me overcome my symptoms and learn to live a healthy life with OCD, but my anxieties and obsessions are starting to really affect his life. I understand his reasoning, it's hard to see someone you care about struggle with OCD, especially when it starts to affect you too. I'm asking for tips to deal with my compulsions in the relationship. I HAVE to know the answer to things and sometimes that leads into arguments because even with apologies and discussions I can't let things go, even if they genuinely don't matter or are miniscule issues we have. It's a healthy relationship otherwise but I feel horrible because it's impacting him so negatively, that's the absolute last thing I want to happen. I care for him deeply and he cares for me too, so I don't want my OCD to be a reason we break up but I fear it's headed in that direction. I'm starting therapy soon, but until then what are some things I can do to stop my ROCD from impacting him? I know sitting in the guilt and anxiety of not completing my obsessions will help, but I'm wondering if there are other things I can do to maybe remedy some of the damage already done.
