Breakup
Finally my partner decided to break up with me, and I feel totally empty. He wants an open relationship, which I can’t handle. Just feel broken inside 💔

Hi, love🫶Just wanted to say that you’re not alone for feeling that way. Breakups suck big time, and the fact that you stayed true to yourself and didn’t let him talk you into something you weren’t okay with is AMAZING. The truth is, not everyone is going to be right for us, and that’s okay! You wanted different things. It hurts when the people you love don’t have the same mindset as you do. But it doesn’t make you a bad person, or an undesirable person. You will find someone one day who wants what’s best for you💗Don’t let OCD tell you otherwise! Good luck🫶

I’m so sorry. But I’m also proud of you for not complying with his request to open up the relationship. Many of us with OCD are people pleasers. You may feel broken now, but you are standing in your worth.

I’m so sorry :( This is the best decision for you because going along with it and trying to play the role of the “cool girlfriend” would’ve hurt you so much. Open relationships severely increase the risks of jealousy and very serious physical health scares, so I agree with the other commenter that you did indeed dodge several bullets lol. Your ex saved you from that. And don’t feel bad about yourself, girl. It just wasn’t gonna work 🫶 But you can find the right partner for you which I can see is a partner who will want you and ONLY you 😊❤️🩹 You also have a community here for you

I would never do an open relationship either. Way to stand your ground. You will get someone better.

Love
I broke up with my boyfriend today because of how bad my anxiety had gotten I couldn’t tell what was my heart and what was my head. I’m heartbroken because I feel like I lost my best friend and I truly do have love for him and want him in my future. I want to spend the rest of my life with him. We broke up because I’m not on medication for my anxiety and have a doctor’s appointment coming up on Wednesday to see about getting some. I still feel anxious after our breaks but I feel guilty to admit that I do feel better. I’m still just anxious in general a little and I don’t know why. We had decided to stay in touch but not on a daily or even weekly basis, just because there is no hate in our relationship just pure love. I’m just so scared and sad that I really will lose him and be all alone.

Rocd breakup
Soon might be the end of my relationship. I have done 4 months or so of therapy but I feel like I haven’t seen much substantial progress. I am already grieving the loss of my relationship. Literally almost cried 3 times at work today just thinking about it. Not sure what to do. Idk if I’m avoiding it bc I’m scared out of my mind or not. Honestly this is the hardest point and decision I have ever been in, in my life. Any tips or at least people to relate?
