I got engaged to my man this year, we’ve been together going on 5 years. He is amazing and we have this healthy, wonderful relationship. My OCD is sucking all my joy 😞 - I constantly have thoughts of “what if you’re wrong and he’s not the one? What if you guys get divorced someday? Is he the one? Does this anxiety mean he’s not?” Constant ocd and urges to seek reassurance and it’s miserable. I need hope that this will get better, I’m so afraid I’ll ruin what I have with my ocd.

Hi I'm new to all of this so I hope I'm doing this right. 5 years ago my 34 year marriage ended. My ex husband was a mentally and financially abusive, covert narcissist. All that is behind me now and I'm finally remembering who I am again. I'm in a relationship with a really great guy but the problem I'm having is relationship OCD. This has taken me by surprise really as I've had OCD from a very young age but never has it been about my relationship. I constantly check messages and go over and over conversations and convince myself my partner will eventually cheat. Almost every single person in his life I can feel threatened by and I hate this for him and also for me as I don't have any peace of mind. This is ruining the lovely relationship I know I could have so I really need to get a handle on it. Has anybody else experienced this and managed to control it?

This will be my first time venting about this but I have been feeling super anxious towards my boyfriend lately. I’ve just truly discovered the world of OCD and all of the subtypes. I love my boyfriend of 3 years. He’s my person and i know I can see a life with him. Although, i’m suddenly feeling really anxious when i’m around him or even the thought of him. I’m constantly questioning everything about him and our relationship. I have to constantly reassure myself to stay that i love him or that he’s attractive to me and etc! I even have thoughts that maybe he’s not for me when that absolutely kills me. This fear has had be in a choke hold for a couple of days. It’s been especially tough since we just got back from a mini vacation. Idk if i’m nervous about us potentially moving in one day together. I’m trying to tell myself that i’m overthinking bad and i have all these fears because he is my first boyfriend— my first EVERYTHING! Please tell me i’m not the only one that feels this way. I just want to go back to the 1st year where I was obsessed and loved him unconditionally. (which i know i still do know, I just have this annoying thing going on)

Heya guys- any advice welcome! I'm in a happy and loving relationship with my partner (M) for 5 years. I am going on 32 next month and am anxious to get married and start a family. My OCD has really latched onto getting engaged and it's almost like I have anticipatory anxiety ? I feel like my time will never come. We moved into a house last August and I kinda thought things would have progressed more since
