I have an obsession with my partners past..at every opportunity I’m looking for things to back up what the ocd believes..it’s driving me nuts..

once triggered I go into I don’t care mode which ends up with me doing compulsions…

I can clearly see it’s ocd but find it so hard..

how would you guys on here deal with this?!

Hi there,

Sorry to hear you're suffering with this.

My partner's past was far wilder than mine.  (I often experience contamination-related obsessions, so my past is very tame.)  At first I was bothered by it, mostly due to my contamination fears.  But eventually I grew to accept it.  These days I feel kind of envious, realizing that OCD robbed me of experiences I might have liked to have at the time.

You will get through this.  The most important thing is to avoid the cycle of compulsions.  Honestly they only make it worse in the long-run, even if it feels better now.

Another thing to do is try to keep your body and mind occupied with other things.
