Love is a choice. You can choose to love him, even on the days you’re not sure if you do or not. Everyday that you wake up and continue to be with him, you choose to love him. Is it going to take work , exposures, communication and are there going to be days you don’t feel the love ? Of course , it’s normal even for people who don’t have ocd they just don’t obsess. Stay strong, keep fighting!

I do love him a lot and I do wanna stay but everytime I say I wanna stay something makes me feel like I don’t. I focus too much on my partners flaws like him smoking or playing video games. Which I don’t have a problem with bc I sometimes smoke with him and I myself play video games. My partner is very good at saving money, helping me pay the bills making dinners and helping with our furr babies. He has social anxiety. So it’s hard for him to be around people but I realize he is slowly getting better with it. Me I am not good with money in fact I am a HUGE shopaholic. I buy things constantly. I was good with money last year but when I got deeply depressed I start spending like crazy. I know I have a lot of flaws... shopping is one, my nieces are afraid of me bc I am mean, (my partner pointed out I should be more friendly around them) I have a hard time interacting with children. I never relax I have a cleaning OCD. As I wrote that my brain screamed it’s all him!!! Not you!

Stop confessing to him, stop doing the compulsions, tell him it's okay and it's just rocd, start doing the exposure work or at least just avoid compulsions. stop spending time giving meaning to the thoughts.

you are making yourself more scared than you would have been if you fought the ocd and didn't let it beat you up by giving meaning. when you have an OCD thought and you let yourself get scared of it, the brain thinks 'oh there really IS danger' and it is bombarding you with more thoughts and anxiety.

@Mandy7710 out of all things I said to chose to answer to this one? I'm sorry I was wrong about confessing, but still there are other advises/info I gave you.

I am worried my ROCD is fading and that I am using it as an excuse! I feel like I know I am not in love with him! All the testing I did and still try to do doesn’t work anymore..... if this is ROCD I’ve never felt it like this! Where I feel okay to move on or better without him when I know I still love him a lot!!

@Mandy7710 Yes it happens with everyone I think the symptoms lessen and when they do we are afraid that we found our truth. You are saying to watched Awaken into Love. It's called the backdoor spike
