What’s it cheating ocd? Is it thought of that you want too cheat?

I have it too. It’s fucking sucks. But the reason why this is our theme is because we value our partners so much that it’s easy for OCD to attack us from that angle.

@Just another OCD guy I’m so sorry to hear you go through this too, but am relieved to hear I’m not the only one. You’re right it absolutely fucking sucks. Like I can’t imagine a theme worse than this. And it’s scary and invalidating that this theme doesn’t get discussed very much.

What’s the question?

@😷 I have pornagraphic images pop into my mind of other women... it bothers me so much because I love my wife SO much and I don't want to think of other women... but it seems like when I start thinking about the pornographic images my mind starts trying harder to think about them more, almost like my mind is trying to sabotage me in the moment... Sometimes i can fight them off better than other times, but it's just difficult to deal with... Does anyone else deal with this at all? I don't have any desire to cheat on my wife, but I wish the bad thoughts of these images would go away out of my mind... I hope this topic/question isn't too inappropriate for this app... I'm sorry if it is... I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable...

@Drew777 This is not inappropriate and more people should be talking about if. I think everyone with cheating OCD has probably experienced this is some way. Yes, we all think about sex, attractive people, fantasies. Everyone does. We are human beings. It does not matter.

I imagine people are probably afraid to post about this sort of thing honestly... its an awkward and sensitive topic. I'm not sure if I have "cheating OCD" or not though, this is not the main thing I would normally worry about on a regular basis, it's kind of like just sometimes... it's complicated though, but I don't want to be confusing. I'm glad I could help you feel better though so that you know you're not alone in this specific type of OCD theme. :) you're never alone, don't forget that. Have a great night Maybe,MaybeNot. :)

@Drew777 Thank you so much 🙏🏻 best wishes to you

Any tips????

@Anonymous I rarely meet others with theme.

@Anonymous I don’t really know how to control mine and actually never been diagnosed with it . But I defiantly obsess over it. I’m probably not the best person to get tips from but we can about it if you want too else where.
