I have the same theme or thinking other people are attractive and then feeing extreme guilt and shame and the intrusive thoughts of other people when I just want to be happy and enjoy my relationship. I also have health concern OCD but this has def been the WORST theme ever because my relationship was the most important thing to me

I’ve had ocd around my health before and that’s scary but this one breaks my heart because I love my bf so much and I’m not that sort of person who would cheat but my ocd is trying to convince me that’s what I want and will do

What is your worst fear? be no loyal with your bf? Your bf can be jealous of your relationship?

I think you like to see even admire your friend, you must be afraid of her reactions, of disappointing her?

I do! But mine is a little different than yours. Mine initially started like yours worrying I would lose control and eventually that turned into real event/false memory OCD. I cheated in the past and somehow didn't feel any remorse for my past actions until last year. OCD attacks what you value. For me, it attacked my morals and uses my past to devalue me now. I love my boyfriend and I would be devastated if I were to hurt him like I have hurt others in the past. You seem to value your relationship with your boyfriend very much and OCD has decided to attack that. The best thing you can do is learn to live with the uncertainty. I know, not an easy thing to do. I still struggle!! I'm here if you need to talk :)

@nervousbeans Thank you so much☺️ it makes me feel extremely guilty and horrible because I love my bf so much he is my first serious bf. Before I knew my bf I was talking to this guy that went to my school for a few days nothing serious at all and he was invited to my friends party and tbh I liked him but the guy I had a massive crush on before this one was there to and I was drunk and kissed him and later on in the night I kissed the one I was talking to at the time (sorry if this is getting confusing I don’t want to use names) and it sort of ruined things with him and I got upset because I was drunk, and I liked him but I got over it in like a week because we was only talking for like 3 days so sometimes that plays on my head if I was at a party with my bf and I accidentally kissed someone else

I have this deep fear I’ll accidentally cheat on my long term partner. This fear was initially triggered a couple years ago after being at a bar with my friends where I enjoyed the attention of being flirted with by a stranger. Because of my enjoyment of receiving verbal attention, I began spiraling about what if I accidentally cheat. Since then I have made multiple confessions to my partner to seek reassurance, replayed events over and over in my head, spent hours googling/looking at reddit threads, and now I dread “bar like” situations where I know my partner won’t be around. Today I was triggered and have wasted about 4-5 hours of my day ruminating. Does anyone else with relationship ocd struggle with this fear and have any tips?

I am so incredibly terrified of betraying my partner. I love him so much more than I can even describe. He is such an amazing and supportive and kind person, he truly deserves the world. I have been dealing with an ROCD obsession with another person for the past 6 months. This obsession has completely wrecked my mental and emotional health and has caused me to feel physically ill. I have taken every possible measure to ensure that I do NOT cheat on my partner. I’m constantly checking and ruminating on interactions, I make sure to ignore this person whenever they send messages in a group Discord server unless absolutely necessary, I am obsessive about keeping track of the ratio of the number of messages I send in response to them compared to the messages I send in response to other people / the amount of messages other people send in response to them. I am literally considering making a spreadsheet tracking each person in the server’s reply frequency to other people, in order to analyze if I reply to them at an excessive frequency. The few times that I have seen this person in real life (group events), I have made sure to not initiate any conversation with them, to ignore them and not speak unless spoken to, to ensure that I am NEVER alone with them (even when one time they asked me to help them do something really quickly at a party, I made up an excuse because I was worried that going to help them would be cheating). I make sure to sit with other people and not them, I make sure that I never ever ever engage in a conversation in the server where they are sharing “deep” things, and I make sure I NEVER message them privately outside the server. The ONE time they messaged me privately (in response to something that happened in the server), I just sent a gif back and nothing more as the thought of having a conversation in private DMs made me feel like I was cheating. I make sure to talk about my partner frequently in that server (he is actually also in the server). However, I still feel like I am cheating mentally. I have confessed to my partner so many times. I asked him if an interaction was cheating and he laughed and said no. I have confessed to fantasizing about this person and to looking through their social media. He said both were fine. I am constantly wrecked by guilt no matter what I do. If I am just taking part in a group conversation, I analyze every single message and wonder if I have “intentions to cheat” before/after sending it, even when any normal person would just see that message and laugh and wonder how that could possibly be cheating. I have just grown to feel like such a despicable horrible and deceptive cheater. I have confessed so many times, I have told my therapist, and both my partner and my therapist have told me that I have the right to just move on and stop feeling the moral obligation to confess. But I just don’t believe it. It’s so hard for me to believe. I feel horrible. I have a trip coming up with my partner and my family. This is a once in a lifetime trip, taking my partner to my parents’ homeland and visiting my grandma for quite possibly the last time. I am so so so scared that OCD will ruin this trip for me.
