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?

My boyfriend freaked out when he found out I had OCD. He never looked at me the same way again. He broke up with me a few days after - we had been dating for 2 years. Has this happened to anyone? How did you cope? It’s been a few years since this happened and I still feel so embarrassed to this day.

Shower ocd
I have ocd rituals everytime I take a shower. Sometimes takes me about 2 hours to get out of bathroom. I have been working with a counselor which says to set a timer for 45 mins and try to finish everything in that time frame and get out. I still find that I am irritated or moody if I don’t complete them I have no idea why. Should I try to cut down on my time in the shower/ bathroom?

How not to shower for so long?
I take really long showers that cause so much stress cause i get obsessed to make sure every part of me is covered in soap and then repeat the process on certain parts/have to reapply the area if i touch the curtain. And i worry about what wil happen and that the house will be filhly and germ ridden if i miss a part or touch the curtain. I shower as soon as i get home and wait on the porch cause i dread the shower. Any advice on how to not be so obsessed or get over being so concerned about it? I want to shower and get clean, but cant bring myself to shorten the shower/go over the top. I dont like anytning in thr house that isnt sealed before hand and i can open it and drop it so no on3 else has touched it. It is causing alot of trouble for me. Thank you.
