Advice for relationships ocd
I’ve been really struggling with OCD within my relationship. We’ve been dating for almost 2 years and things were going really good but we just moved in together and it seems to be making it worse. We have both made mistakes in the relationship that I’ve mostly been able to work past but this last month my partner had gambled away a majority of our money. He’s offered to go to counseling and get help but I’m finding it so hard to trust him and to move on. I constantly find myself trying to look at his phone or ask questions. I get panicked when he goes to the bathroom bc I’m convinced he’s lying to me. I feel like I’m in a constant state of fight or flight. I just don’t know whats real, when we argue i convince myself he’s being evil or abusive (im a dv survivor) I don’t know if I should just leave him for the sake of my mental health or stay and hope it gets better and he proves himself. I’d never want someone to turn there back on me when I’m struggling so I’m lost between this moral ground of guilt and taking care of myself. Any advice?
