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 ❤️
thanks from the bottom of my heart. it’s people like you who make the world a kinder place. (guess what outcome your advice had ! ❤️❤️
@Kasey Thank you that’s really made me day ❤️
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
What’s your theme
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
That’s so awesome
i'm scared I don't have OCD, I used to be 50/50 about it but now I just keep doubting I do. The reason i'm scared is because I can't feel anything for my girlfriend anymore, sometimes I do and want to love up on her but other times I just feel unnatracted to her and don't feel anything for her. This is taking a tole on the both of us, she cries alot because she knows what i'm going through but it's also hurting her. I also sometimes (not very often) think about breaking up with her or being with someone else and it scares me because I want to love her and only her and only be with her. I'm afraid I should break up with her but I really don't want to. Whenever she compliments me I get uncomfortable, sometimes whenever she says I love you I hesitate to say it because I feel kind of guilty and I can't really feel anything. She picks up on all of these things which makes it even harder to really hide. i know I shouldn't hide it but she's the crying type and I upset her too much already with all of this. Someone please tell me they can relate or that it's OCD, can someone please help me?
Does anyone have any advice for sharing their obsessions with their significant other? I struggle with relationship and sexuality OCD. My boyfriend knows I have OCD, but we have never discussed it in detail. I think he is trying to respect my boundaries and I am terrified he won’t understand my obsessions and/or will take them personally. As a result I feel like I am hiding this horrible secret, and it is causing me so much anxiety. I want to talk to him about it, but I don’t know how to bring it up in a way that won’t hurt him.
How should I tell my significant other that I've been suffering from ROCD as of late without making them doubt themselves or our relationship? my most common thoughts have been of me just cheating on her or that I dont find her attractive or thoughts along those lines and they hurt to think about it makes me feel guilty to think these things
