I’m married and we don’t have the same sense of humor, but it works out because my laugh usually makes him laugh, even if he didn’t think my joke was funny. I also have rocd and I get how you’re feeling, but don’t let the thoughts get in your way. I don’t think that people in a relationship have to be compatible, I was in relationships with guys that were exactly like me, same sense of humor, same musical taste, etc, and it didn’t work out so... ??♀️my husband and I are very different, and I think that that’s what makes our relationship so special.

I've been in a relationship for about 6 years I have anxiety and rocd I think you are just over thinking to much you aren't gonna always feel loving feelings towards your partner, and you don't have to have everything in common with your partner to be in a good relationship I sometimes think I'm faking my relationship but then I realize this is just my ocd and my anxiety making me feel this way. I know it's hard but try to just focus on the good things and live for today and what could go right instead of what could go wrong. Feelings aren't an indication that things are wrong feelings come and go. What matters is if you choose to be with that person :) just remember if you are feeling like you have to break up remember that is probably your anxiety or ocd having a play in your feelings and remember your anxious feelings should not control what you do.

I feel really sad... the first comment just made me more anxious :( what if I’m just forcing things? I don’t wanna hurt him :( is humor sense something you can relate with time? Is really that important? Cuz really if I think deeply that’s the only thing that makes me wanna break up .-.

I mean, because he have a lot of good qualities, and I’m trying to convince myself that he is good for me, he is the first one who has been good with me, my others ex’s cheated on me and manipulated me, and made me got into troubles... now I’m stable with him... but why am I feeling like this? ?

Thoughts are not facts. Your thoughts are not facts. Try your best not to analyze them, and your anxiety will start to lessen.

And that's ok, it's just anxiety. The more I remind myself that, the more I'm accepting instead of fighting my anxiety. You've got this ?

don’t ever feel like what you’re feeling makes you a bad person, you’re definitely not! now i’m not an expert but i think you’re having these doubts because you haven’t connected with him on an emotional level yet. if you feel like most days you’re waking up unhappy then he may just not be the one for you. i went through the same thing. i had this sweet boyfriend who was absolutely amazing. he was polite, smart, caring. but for some reason i would just not want to be around him. it was weird and made me feel horrible and ashamed too. but eventually i realized that wasn’t healthy for either of us so i broke it off. today we’re bestfriends and work so well together. i’ve recently found someone im not afraid to be open and vulnerable around. now i understand how a relationship is supposed to make you feel. hope this helped, listen to your gut!

Lately, I’ve been struggling with feelings that I might be sabotaging myself in my relationship. By sabotage, I mean that I find it hard to stop engaging in compulsions, like seeking reassurance or overanalyzing my thoughts. I also sometimes behave badly with my boyfriend, and the intrusive thoughts I have can completely change my mood. I love my boyfriend—he’s such a good, beautiful, and wonderful person—but I’m afraid these thoughts are going to ruin things. I truly want to love him, but I’m scared. I know the thoughts are anxiety-driven, but they still make me question if I’m forcing myself to stay with him. Today, for example, I felt okay earlier, but when he called me on video, I suddenly felt like I didn’t feel anything, and I started thinking I don’t like how he looks. These thoughts hit me like a wave, and I panicked. Usually, I find him very attractive, but when these thoughts come, I feel sad and disconnected. What’s confusing is that I also have many moments—like today and in the past few days—where I’ve felt really good and I’ve felt love for him. I feel awful writing this because my boyfriend doesn’t deserve this, and I feel like I’m posting out of habit. It makes me scared that I don’t want to accept the truth, even though I know I care about him. I hate feeling this way because it feels like I’m betraying him by having these thoughts and posting them. Has anyone else dealt with these feelings of sabotaging their relationship or feeling like they’re forcing themselves to stay? How do you cope when the thoughts feel like they’re true, and how do you work through the fear of letting go of anxiety
