i saw somewhere from an ROCD counselor that love isnât always just a feeling, itâs also a choice, and this advice really helps me when i suddenly get scared that i donât love my boyfriend. because i know i truly do love him so much but when i donât feel it 100% sometimes it doesnât mean i donât love him anymore

Iâve been with my girlfriend for almost 2 years and trust me, as an ROCD sufferer, you do not need feelings to stay in a relationship. If I went off feelings, my girlfriend and I would have broken up so long ago. Itâs the fact that I choose her. Because no matter what, feelings come and go, and you donât get to control them, but you do get to control who you love. And thatâs your choice. Stay well my friend

I donât have ROCD but following what Iâve experienced from SO OCD, OCD can make you lose feelings. It can make you feel like youâve lost attraction and feelings to people you want to be with. I highly suggest you try to overcome your ROCD first. If you can get better, it becomes easier to know what is real and what is fake. Then you can make a decision. I just donât want you to make a decision youâll regret because of OCD brain.

I see you are looking for reassurance! I commented on you previous post last night about your relationship. I think the best thing to do is ask for advice from your family and friends or a therapist if you have one. Dont look for answers from people online, especially from reddit posts, because those people dont totally understand or know your relationship. Especially if this is your ROCD talking, it's best to not seek reassurance on this app! đ

I keep feeling bad that I didnât find my partner that cute at first. I didnât think he was unattractive but when I first met him it was at work and him and this other guy were new. I thought the other guy was more attractive at the time. I even vocalized it to a friend. NOW my boyfriend is my whole world and I think heâs the most handsome man ever. Even more handsome than the guy I originally thought was cute. I donât have a problem with his appearance or anything. I just feel guilty over not finding him more attractive than the other guy. It feels wrong and of course my thoughts are saying I should tell him this but I know itâll just hurt his feelings.

I was in this game with this person and I noticed his voice was deep, and his avatar looked attractive to me?? and my brain was like âhis voice is so??? And his avatar kinda fine tooâ like omg, shut up, Iâm not taken yet but I still want to be in this relationship with this other guy, I feel like thereâs nothing I can do and Iâll always be a cheater, I donât even know how I feel, like do I actually want to cheat??? And it freaks me out because I donât even know how I feel? Because sometimes Iâll get a feeling that agrees with it, like Iâll have that feeling that wants me to date them and then Iâll hear something like âyeah I wouldâ / âyeah I agree with thatâ ,, now I feel like Iâll be a cheater and Iâm really scared, I would NEVER cheat, nor would I trade this boy for anything, but I canât do it. I just need to know what to do.
