First explain to her that it’s not her and it’s your ocd and you actually do love her. Explain the symptoms of ocd and how it’s not just cleaning and she should understand. It’s better to tell your loved one about this because if you guys end up staying with eachother forever, during adulthood it could get worse and you need someone to be there for you and understand. If they don’t understand then they aren’t the one. If they truly loved you, they will do anything for you and not think any different of you. Sending you all my love ❤️

It’s so hard to expect someone to understand ocd bc it’s so complex and difficult to understand. And the sad part is they can rightfully choose to leave because of it...

The right person will stay with you through anything. In my first marriage my wife at the time didn’t understand and she genuinely made me feel worse. I divorced and met the right person. She supports my OCD 100%. Even when im at my worst or talk about insane things shes there for me. If someone leaves because of your OCD then it wasnt meant to be

I’m so glad you found a better person to understand. I’m so terrified of being alone forever. My ex wants to get back together and I want to as well but I think once I tell him I got diagnosed he won’t want to be with me

POCD so I talked about some crazy things with her and she’s always been there by my side. I’m actually struggling lately and I have my first 90 minute session next week. She’s going to make sure that I have time to do the session and she’s very supportive of me doing it. Even if the person you’re with doesn’t support you and it doesn’t work out just remember that it’s a step to bring you to the right person. My first marriage was a nightmare but I wouldn’t change it because it brought me to my wife now

So i play in a band, and we were having practice, and my girlfriend was there listening to us, then this girl around our age walks in, and my head tells me to cheat on my girlfriend with her. I know i would never do such a thing. And it bothered me for days. And i ended up telling my girlfriend, and tried to explain my ocd. It hurt her and she believes that the instrusive thoughts, are my thoughts so in that, i must feel something behind them. And she feels hurt because i explained to her the obsessive part of ocd and how this thought wouldnt leave my head. And she got upset knowing that i was constantly thinking about cheating on her. I cant help but feel its all my fault. And now that she doesnt understand i feel really guilty for my thoughts and they are coming more often and worse. When i was fine for months, but my ocd always acts up right as i get in relationships, then i usually tell my spouse and tell them i cant feel guilt for my thoughts or they will get worse. And they usually just accepted it and it was easy. But with her it seems she just cant seem to understand, ive tried to explain it to her countless times, she isnt willing to do research with me to help better understand it or anything. Maybe for my first ocd issue telling her that wasnt the best idea.

I’ve had so many moments of clarity with my OCD that I love my boyfriend and I’m beyond willing to go through this to be better and be with him. in the back of mind I’ve in a way known I was at least somewhat sexually attracted to women (I’m a woman) since the start of the ocd it was always like “okay. Fine, but I don’t want to date a girl” I only just realized this after the ocd started, I never really argued with this. my ocd has always revolved around if I’m romantically interested in women and not men. I’ve done so many compulsions through this year and a half and 9 times out of 10 have come to the conclusion that I don’t want to be with a woman romantically. I always end up feeling like I know I love my boyfriend. But the doubts don’t stop about whether I want to spend my life with a woman instead, my heart literally breaks to think of not being with my bf and imagining him with someone else. I don’t want to be with a woman I know deep down somewhere underneath the anxiety that that’s not what I want. It doesn’t feel natural for me, unfulfilling. I want to tell my boyfriend about the possible sexual attraction to women (ik it’s still ocd related) but I’m scared that once I tell him, I’ll realize that I actually do want to be with women and not with him. Ugh I’ve spent hours today ruminating about this after being solid in my commitment with him for a little while, I’m stuck in this loop and idk how to get out right now

for me it’s getting to the point where i don’t feel in love with my boyfriend anymore. i’m trying to keep myself from compulsing since my compulsions are all mental. it’s like the thoughts consume my mind every second of every day and i can’t catch a break. it’s like i want to be with him so bad but my brain won’t allow me. any advice?
