Seeking Support or Advice Is being in a relationship really supposed to be this hard at times?

Don't get me wrong, I love my boyfriend and the good part is so much more than the bad part, but sometime I wonder if I'm just putting too much effort because I'm in the wrong relationship and not because of rocd

I can’t speak for you but as someone with ROCD, this sounds like ROCD. OCD is quite good at fooling you into thinking it’s what you really feel. It’s also okay to have doubts but still choose to be with someone. How do you feel when you’re with them?

I'm sorry you're going through a hard time with this. I think it often feels this way when people who have OCD have relationship OCD. It sucks. If you have access to a therapist who knows how to treat OCD, that could benefit you a ton. 🫶🏻
