I always get thoughts that I'm going to cheat and I get nightmares that I cheat

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.
