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.

something that really bugs me and gets in my head with my rocd is that for most of my relationship i’ve had this nagging anxiety and ocd about it. i can accept my thoughts for the most part, but have this underlying fear that this one could really mean something and that makes me feel guilty! i don’t want to loose her but my mind tells me i do because ive had these thoughts. it’s even coming up in my dreams now! i had a dream last night that i cheated and it made me panic all today and feel so bad and this thought came up again! any advice?

I’ve been struggling with relationship OCD and differentiating between what is an intrusive thought and what is a real doubt. I was really happy with my partner then I got one aggressive thought that I didn’t love him and this spiralled into noticing all his flaws. I struggle being around him because I feel a huge sense of guilt that these thoughts even come into my head and I cannot figure out if this is my brain lying to me or this is how I feel. It’s really impacting a relationship that is so important to me.

You know when you have weird thoughts about a coworker and because you have OCD these thoughts really stick and you panic and feel sick? Yeah that’s me and I’ve struggled with having intrusive thoughts about my coworker and now he just got in a relationship with my coworker and my intrusive thoughts are WORSE I thought they would be better? And initially they were because I was relieved that he couldn’t be weird with me now because he has a girlfriend. But this is the thought that i cannot get over- my OCD is like you’re jealous that he doesn’t like you and he’s not with you instead and i envy this girl he is with. Why the fuck am I having these thoughts while I’m in a healthy relationship and love my boyfriend to DEATH- like I know he is my forever. I couldn’t look at him today because I’ve been obsessing over this thought I’ve had in work and now I have to find a new job I hope no one will judge me for these thoughts or maybe someone has had this weird thought before? :(
