I've been with my partner for 7 years and didn't start having OCD till early last year. He handles it alright. He has gotten better at understanding what's going on when I am asking the same question often or seeking reassurance from him. So he tries to avoid giving me reassurance when I am in the throws of OCD. He is understanding and incredibly loving. I'm lucky. However, it is hard sometimes. A couple of months this year when things were bad were difficult for both of us, but I think it has brought us closer and more in tune with each other and our needs.

My husband and I have been together for nearly 10 years now. I told him very shortly after we started dating about my struggle with OCD. He has always been supportive but does sometimes need a reminder that it is something I struggle with. Communication is key. You have to communicate how you are feeling otherwise your frustrations and anxiety with yourself can be taken out on your significant other. It doesn’t have to be in depth but I will tell him if I’m having a bad anxiety day or moment and he knows when to give me my space, comfort, support, etc.

Fear of getting dumped because of OCD
How have you dealt with this? OCD definitely has affected my relationship but he’s been and stayed with me for over a year and a breakup hasn’t happened. Yet in my mind I’m not worthy of a relationship because of my mental health. Help?

Dating paranoia
I've just started dating this really great girl. She doesn't know about my ocd which is fine but I've noticed that a lot of my intrusive thoughts and worries about not following routines now revolve around losing her or her believing I'm a bad person. I just don't want this relationship to make me so paranoid. I also know have this where if I see a girl on my Instagram or on the Internet, I'll feel an overwhelming urge to clean myself and the device I viewed it on. This is part of a moral reaction and I also worry I'm not being loyal. I feel I should try and not follow through with these compulsions but as they now revolve around keeping my girlfriend I'm not sure. Any advice?

My partners mad because of my OCD
Last night I was staying at my boyfriend’s house and couldn’t sleep. I felt like i desperately needed to go back to my parents and clean and organize my room. This has happened a few times before when I was staying at his place. Since then he’s been very upset with me. Does anyone else’s partner do this? Any advice? It’s been hard. He’s made me feel so shameful for having OCD. As if it’s not tough enough /:
