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?

Fear of getting dumped because of OCD
How have you dealt with this? OCD definitely has affected my relationship but he’s been and stayed with me for over a year and a breakup hasn’t happened. Yet in my mind I’m not worthy of a relationship because of my mental health. Help?

My ocd is taking away my life
I’m losing it completely, I’ve never had a flare up like this with contamination. I’m so burnt out seriously , I feel like I’m going insane. My hands are cracking and bleeding from washing them and my family’s getting very tired of me , they think I should go stay in a hospital or something for a while because of how bad it is. OCD as taken away my relationships with people , I can’t sit on the couch anymore with my family , I can’t hug my dog anymore , I can’t relax ever. I just needed to write this down as I really can’t process my feelings right now as I have too many thoughts , any advice?

Pls I need advice
I’ve had so many moments of clarity with my OCD that I love my boyfriend and I’m beyond willing to go through this to be better and be with him. in the back of mind I’ve in a way known I was at least somewhat sexually attracted to women (I’m a woman) since the start of the ocd it was always like “okay. Fine, but I don’t want to date a girl” I only just realized this after the ocd started, I never really argued with this. my ocd has always revolved around if I’m romantically interested in women and not men. I’ve done so many compulsions through this year and a half and 9 times out of 10 have come to the conclusion that I don’t want to be with a woman romantically. I always end up feeling like I know I love my boyfriend. But the doubts don’t stop about whether I want to spend my life with a woman instead, my heart literally breaks to think of not being with my bf and imagining him with someone else. I don’t want to be with a woman I know deep down somewhere underneath the anxiety that that’s not what I want. It doesn’t feel natural for me, unfulfilling. I want to tell my boyfriend about the possible sexual attraction to women (ik it’s still ocd related) but I’m scared that once I tell him, I’ll realize that I actually do want to be with women and not with him. Ugh I’ve spent hours today ruminating about this after being solid in my commitment with him for a little while, I’m stuck in this loop and idk how to get out right now
