I’m so sorry. I know how you feel. I once felt like this and now I’m happier than ever in my relationship. It took a lot of work and commitment to ERP, but it also took some healing of my own fears and wounds around commitment, sexuality, and love in general. I can’t tell you if your thoughts are “real”, in the end it almost doesn’t even matter. For me, I could not have made a sound decision until I learned how to sit with anxiety and uncertainty because my instinct to flee was coming from pure fear. Once that anxiety became easier to tolerate, my own feelings sort of surfaced naturally. It’s like shaking up a snow globe: you shake and shake trying to get the answer, but it’s once you put it down and let the pieces settle when things become more clear. I hope this helps!

Hey, I feel the same way. ❤️ It started happening when the relationship was getting more serious, ie moving in together. Maybe that's happening with you??

@bethx Not sure if this link will work, but it does go in-depth on ROCD and how it can appear in a happy relationship https://pca.st/episode/6930ea73-38d5-492b-a0c8-679d65d45fb3
