Obsessive compulsive disorder can cause people to constantly question if their partner is good enough or if they’re “the one.” Everyone has doubts about their relationship from time to time.
But usually they’re fleeting thoughts, not prominent enough to take seriously.
However, for people with relationship obsessive compulsive disorder (ROCD), their doubts and fears blur reality, causing them to obsess about whether they’re happy with their partner.
“I was with my ex-wife for 12 years. Through that entire time, I was constantly checking to see if my love for her was as founded as I believed it was,” Aaron Harvey, founder of the OCD resource Intrusivethoughts.org, told Healthline.
“Every single time another woman was in the room, I would test my level of attraction to them compared to my attraction to my partner,” he said. “It was so distracting. I couldn’t engage in conversations. I also spent years and years evaluating one small curve or line on my wife’s face to determine whether or not I found that attractive. It became an endless cycle of doubting thoughts and I felt a slave to it.”
Harvey also obsessed about intellectual standards, wondering if his partner was smart enough for him or smarter than other people around them.
“Ultimately what is happening is that you really love the person and you’re trying to prove to yourself that you actually do or that they’re enough for you. This constant obsession causes major anxiety. That in itself is the essence of OCD,” Harvey said, who struggled with various symptoms of OCD his entire life.
