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

me and my girlfriend since we started dating we be only had one problem, and that is my fear of everything of losing her of her cheating, and it’s all caused by OCD. my texts are massive and i get worried i know i love her and she makes me calm i know i love her. we had a conversation yesterday and basically she said that she feels suffocated with my texts and my fears. she went on trip were she doesn’t have her phone. and yesterday i spent the entire day crying about her. my head is filled with intrusive thoughts. and last night i got so stressed that it seemed like the love went away or i couldn’t remember the love, but it’s impossible because i was crying about her yesterday. this struggle my relationship is having is making me so stressed. pls give me advice

for a few days now I’ve been super anxious about my relationship. I’ve been anxious about it before but lately it’s been worse than normal. I’m in a very healthy and loving relationship, I love my boyfriend so much and he treats me so so well. The only thing is that I’ve been having scary thoughts that what if I’m lying to him and don’t actually love him? What if I don’t find him attractive? And like what if the only way to stop being anxious is to break up with him? I don’t want to leave him and I am so scared. I feel like I’m lying to him by not telling him what’s going on because he might think I’m actually going to leave him, which I’m really not going to. I have had anxiety since before we started dating and incestual and sexual ocd, then I got into a point where I started having religious ocd, and now I have ROCD on top of that I think. I’ve never been diagnosed but I’m going to therapy and figuring things out but I’m so scared. Idk what to do and I feel like if I talk to anyone they’re going to say I have to leave him.

I can’t help but feel so anxious because of guilt. I feel guilty about not sharing everything about my OCD to my partner, but because I understand that confession itself is a compulsion and would not help anyone. I feel so anxious too that if all my fears come true and she finds out, then it would be so devastating for everyone especially her. Does anyone feel the same thing? How could I change my perspective on this?
