Does my partner have OCD?

They did, and I made new friends, also. I even asked my boyfriend to join some of our group chats, and we joke around and exchange advice. I love it so far.

What a fantastic turn of events. You should share your story by writing an article or a post about it. I am sure many other couples in the same situation can benefit from your experience.

That’s a good idea. I will spend more time writing and sharing my story with others. Everyone deserves to find light in the tunnel when challenged with a similar problem.

Very lovely from your side. I hope you get back good a few times more than you give. Feel free to share the story here or by private message to me when it’s published, if you don’t mind.

Of course :slight_smile: You have it in your messages now. I am open to critics as long as it’s not too much. I am a little sensitive in general :grinning:

I sent you a message back, but I want to tell you here publicly that your story is inspiring and adequately written as well. There should be nothing stopping you from sharing it with the world.

Can I also have a sneak peek of your story? I like reading similar ones from real-life cases. :slight_smile:

I sent it to you now. Sorry, I haven’t been much active recently, so now I see your request.

No worries about that. Thank you for sharing the story. I like how you detail your feelings and thoughts and the happy ending. Its indeed inspiring for others in the same shoes.

I am twice as satisfied when I hear that my story brings hope to others. I even started advocating for those around me to share their stories no matter how difficult it is for them. Our stories help others, and that is the most important.

That’s wonderful to hear! Sharing personal stories, especially ones that involve challenges and overcoming hardships, can be incredibly powerful and inspiring for others. Your advocacy for encouraging others to share their experiences can positively impact and create a supportive and empathetic community.

Hehe, I haven’t done so many extraordinary things to deserve those passages of kind words. At least not yet. But you know what? You gave me even more motivation than my successful day today.

Nice people deserve their days to be mostly nice. I hope you take all the good things coming your way and be a stimulant for those battling with OCD and anxiety.

I am not too much of a guru to inspire others yet, but if I bring a smile or hope, that’s perfectly enough for me.

Technically, yes, small acts of kindness and genuine interactions can create positivity that touches people’s lives meaningfully. Keep embracing your unique ability to uplift others.

Do you guys think that a person with ocd can cohabit well and be a good parent to a child potentially? I suspect my partner had ocd, too, but we still don’t live together.

Having OCD does not inherently make someone a bad partner or parent. However, you should maybe try to live with the person to gain insight into the severity of the condition, how you react to it, and your partner’s willingness to treat it.

I see what you mean. I think she won’t move in with someone unless the relationship is advanced enough, and I have so many doubts. I also don’t know how to put my doubts into words.

If you are not ready to talk with her, then speak with a specialist who will advise you on how to proceed. I suspect they will most likely advise you to address your doubts and discuss your concerns.

Sure, I will gather some braveness and talk to her. I also don’t believe that a specialist will tell me something other than communication as the key to the problem.
