Out of nowhere the other day I asked him if he cheated on me.. even though I know he didn’t. But it was the reassurance coming from him that I needed to know he didn’t. He got upset that I would think that about him - even though technically I don’t think he actually would do that? It’s just so common and I don’t see myself as the exception ??♀️

It's really helpful if your partner understand that you have ocd. I always tell my partner that I feel like I've cheated when I haven't. He understands that it's my ocd so he doesn't take it to heart. It would be a good idea for him to know that having ocd cause make you feel the way your feeling and a big part of having ocd is asking for reassurance and it's not that you dont trust him it's just your thought process.

https://youtu.be/Q-bjYCJNzm0 Maybe this will help. But also, the thought isn't the problem, as we learn from OCD info, the problem is our reaction to the thoughts. Try doing ERP for your thought, imagine it actually becoming reality and stay with the anxious feelings until they become a little less anxious or maybe even go down to half. ERP really works with our brains, I also have ROCD, I know what you're going through.

I’m 25 and never ever thought this before my soocd relapse. I have a bf of 5 years. Never been a high libido kinda girl. Don’t get me wrong I do get turned on by my bf but not like every day you know? - That had always been in the back of my head, is this normal and ok? But my ocd has latched onto the most scariest what if EVER. My brain is now saying How do you know you won’t prefer to sleep and kiss girls if you haven’t tried it: and it’s that unknown that is scaring the shit out of me. I DONT AND NEVER HAVE wanted to sleep / kiss a girl. But now my intrusive thoughts is all I think about!!! I don’t want I don’t want I don’t want??? So why does my brain think BUT WHAT IF??? I know ocd thrives off uncertainty which is why I think this is happening? But I don’t wanna find out or work it out because all I want is to be with my bf and marry him!! Is this just the epitome of OCD?

I can’t stop thinking to myself “what if I don’t love her” but deep down I know I love her and that’s why I’m getting pissed off with these unwanted thoughts because it’s putting doubt in my head when in reality I love her what should I do?

Currently I have several different OCD fears that pop up throughout the week depending on the situation. I've noticed a commonality between all of them are the fears relating to memory/false memory. Today is the ROCD struggle I've been dealing with. I know OCD has been trying this on me lately because of how much I love my spouse. They are my absolute best friend and she's my world. I value our marriage and friendship more than anything. OCD has latched onto one specific female coworker. And I don't even know why because even if I were single I wouldn't be into her. Even still, OCD makes me think I've cheated on my wife every time I'm alone with this coworker at work. Always starts as a what if, followed by imagery, followed by feelings that I must've actually done something and can't remember it. Usually fearing I've kissed her. It hurts because I know I'd never do that to my wife and I love her so much...the idea of losing her kills me, especially if it were the result of something I did. Just wanted to vent. Feel free to share your experiences or vents as well
