Yes. Especially during this pandemic when I've been forced inside with less to do than normal. My relationship OCD got pretty intense over the summer and a few times since then. Wondering if we're compatible because we don't always want to do the same things. She had an anxiety and depression episode, which affected me, so I started thinking "I don't deserve this. Is this relationship healthy for me?" Obsessing that she doesn't do as much cleaning me and is that fair? Fortunately, right now, I'm in a good place and trying to hold onto that. Medication and therapy have helped, along with time. It took months for my symptoms to become manageable

Yes absolutely. I’m in the most healthy relationship I’ve been in in my life. We support one another. We love one another. We respect and value one another. We communicate well and have similar interests. But I’ll think back to every fight we’ve ever had (which is few and far between), every mistake she’s made, every mistake I’ve made and the fact that things moved kind of fast at first and it makes those fears start to feel real. And like, I’m so lucky that I’ve never had to deal with things like infidelity either but I have a fear of cheating too. And I don’t mean to reassure, but it’s all irrational. I recognize now that yes, you can have some challenges in your relationship but still have a healthy relationship and support one another, but when you linger on all the bad things it can make you question, and doubt, but that’s OCD. And OCD is irrational.
