I'm bisexual which makes my relationship/SO orientation OCD so much worse, cos I'm with a guy who is the love of my life, but my attraction to women makes me feel like I 'shouldn't' be with him, need to leave or will leave to be with a woman, even though we are happy, healthy and content. It's so debilitating and I'd love to know how others cope :(

Thank you so much, this is really, really appreciated. Have you experienced similar? He also knows about all of this and I even showed him this thread! It's been hard being open about it, but I'd definitely say it feels less awful when spoken aloud. I am starting therapy again soon, but it's so hard in the interim. Great advice to think of it that way though! :)

I'm so sorry to hear that. I am hoping that you can work on it or grow towards it in future. It does help to feel less alone in this, so I appreciate your comments so much.

If you ever need to chat more I am more than happy to!

I understand about being in a state!! I do think intimacy is salvageable though. And it's probably your OCD trying to make you feel that you 'don't like' men. Which is a very generalised statement as it is.
