Yes. Obsessions change constantly. The mind just needs something to worry sickly about.

I'm not normally an insercure person or anything like that. But for the last two weeks I can't get these thoughts out of my head and I have been dealing with OCD since I was a teenager but this is so much worse because we have on my married for two months and now I check her phone when she's asleep and I trust her but I just can't stop myself I can not fall asleep until shes been asleep for at least an hour and I feel like I'm losing my mind.

I suggest you read a book called “You are not your brain”, by Jeffrey Schwartz. In his book he talks about someone who is suffering from a similar thing. I think it may help you!

So checking her phone is the compulsion, right? You need to do it to feel a bit more calm that your fear is irrational?

Yes checking her phone or asking her 100 times if she's happy I'm always chasing the reassurance that every thing is ok, and it's necer good enough for me she has never hurt me in anyway and I truly believe she wouldn't. But for whatever reason i always have to look just to make sure and know

Themes constantly switching. I’ve been suffering with real event ocd the last year and am currently in therapy treating it. it’s nowhere near as bad as it was last year and it’s felt like a nice break. there’s days where it gets bad but i can’t compare it to the stress of last year. However i’ve noticed every time i overcome a theme a new one hits me out of nowhere. i’ve suffered with ocd since i was 9, and ive had multiple themes. i’m in a 2 year relationship with my partner and it’s amazing. she’s probably my second proper relationship due to the fact my first relationship gave me so much fear to get into another one as i was cheated on, and needed a few years to get over that. i kind of guessed that ROCD would creep in at some point as it just felt inevitable. anyways, i know my partner is not cheating on me, she’s beyond loyal, we are so so in love but i think due to that first relationship i had, being cheated on really messed with my head. it’s like my brain is telling me my partner has someone else even though i know in my heart nothings going on, and i trust her with my life. i also think because im in the happiest relationship of my life, anything that would indicate loosing her makes me feel sick and riddled with anxiety. and i know that’s completely normal for everyone. i think the most frustrating thing is, is knowing that my OCD has finally crept into my relationship which is something i never wanted it to do. this is a brand new theme and i have no idea how to treat this. i will speak to my therapist but if anyone has been through this theme and any advice in the meantime i would really appreciate it :).

I am in a relationship but I cannot stop getting thoughts about this new coworker I met, my mind convinces me they are so attractive and so great and I hate it so much. My current relationship has its imperfections (as every one does) but I am so happy with her and have always been so loyal. Would OCD target those imperfections and exploit this situation? Additionally I believe I’m feeling ROCD fears of cheating but I know in every opportunity I’ve talked with other women I am loyal to my partner by bringing her up. Does anyone experience the same thing? Is this really OCD or other subconscious intrusive thinking?

Hello! I have been married for 7 years. I’ve struggled with all kinds of ocd in my life. Cheating ocd is something I struggled with early in my relationship with my wife, but was more geared towards obsessing over her cheating. Thankfully I have conquered that 💪 However, lately it has shifted towards ME cheating on her or crossing some kind of boundary. I always have to confess to her if I think I feel any type of attraction to another female. I’m working on it but struggle still time to time. The other day, I had an incident where I was walking down the hallway at work and noticed a cute girl. Idk how to describe it, but I became conscious of my wedding band and had a thought about this random person seeing my band and seeing I was married and I noticed my other finger was touching my wedding band almost like I was trying to hide I was married? It happened so quick and almost sub consciously. I know this might sound confusing but Now I’m worried I was trying to hide that I was married to this random stranger. Even though I had no intentions of talking to her or anything. I’m not even 100% sure I intended to hide my ring. I just might have had a thought about hiding it. Does anyone have any expertise with this or insight? Thanks so much for your time.
