I’ve been struggling for a few weeks in my relationship. I often get stuck in a loop of frustration when my boyfriend isn’t understanding why I’m irritated, but I’m too scared to tell him out of the fear he’ll break up with me, then I get mad at myself for not expressing what’s wrong. It’s become so hard that I sit in silence and cry. He isn’t doing anything different, I just keep obsessing. Any form of advice is more than appreciated.
I’m so sorry you’re going through this 🥺I felt the same way about my husband however I finally had to say listen I’m there for everyone and this is what is wrong with me! This is why I get upset about these things and I need compassion and he gave me just that! It can be scary to be vulnerable but if he loves you be will there!💜I pray this helps 💜
You have to confess to him eventually that you suffer from OCD and explain to him how it works and how you suffer. If he really loves you he will understand. If he doesn't, move on. Expose yourself to the thoughts of self doubt and rejection and live with the uncertainty that he doesn't love you anymore. I know this will be hard with someone you loved dearly but you eventually will stop caring and move on I've had people in my life that will never understand what I go through even if I explained to them in detail. Some people just don't have the emotional capacity to empathize with others.
I feel like I am constantly questioning every word and action of my boyfriend and I don’t know how to stop. It is driving us both insane. It has gotten to the point where I am picking apart the smallest things and making him explain them if he does not word it a certain way. How do i stop? :(
I’ve been dealing with a terribly overwhelming bout of OCD for a few months now, possibly the worst I’ve ever had in my 12 years of having it; which is what led me here. I’ve always had doubts in my long term relationship, but none that have been quite this vicious, making me question my sense of safety with this sweet man who has ALWAYS made me feel safe and comfortable. It picks on every aspect of our relationship, and any moment it can to make me question if he’s actually secretly a bad person. This thing has a chokehold on me and it is so scary and debilitating, especially with it targeting something I care so deeply about. And now weeks into therapy, I almost feel that unpacking it is making me feel worse and my OCD is finding all sorts of new things to pick on. Any comforting words would be appreciated… I’m trying really hard to work through this.
I know this app is for ocd help but I genuinely need some help in my relationship or just some guidance. Does anyone know how to break down built up resentment ? And how to stop anger towards your partner, I’ll take any answer
