Dating Someone with Relationship OCD

[@searsbear7965]

Came here to say that your face is incredibly aesthetic. It’s like dad bod chiseled chad squidward. If you were more lean you’d be probably exactly like chiseled squdward or the chad meme. Fucking insane genetics my man!

This is amazing. I have been struggling with this for years.

What do we, as non OCD partner, help someone with rocd get"help"? What is help? $5000 worth of therapy!??

Forcing someone get help is a dead-end, as you've probably noticed. Focus on your own well-being. Be a parter who doesn't criticize or give out uncolicited advice. Matt has an excellent video for partners where he explains secondary gains and how trying to identify those and eliminate them sometimes is helpful in passively forcing your partner to seek help. I've been with my wife for over 10 years and in our discussions she always denies it's ROCD but it's obvious that's the case.

7:24 - 7:44 really made it click for me. that was my a-ha moment with this video. I’ve read articles about what ROCD is and all that but that section really helped me understand it.

how do i not reinforce the cycle when my partner comes to me for comfort? do i comfort him or do i just let it go? he isn’t getting any professional help currently so he sometimes comes to me with his thoughts and i reassure him that they are just thoughts. is this the right thing to do?
