It can shake the very foundation of trust, leaving individuals and couples questioning not just their partner’s actions but also their own sense of self. However, while the path to healing after infidelity is challenging, it is possible to rebuild not only the trust between partners but also the self-trust that is often broken in the aftermath.

 Relationship OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder) and typical relationship uncertainty can appear similar on the surface, but they have distinct characteristics. It's important to differentiate between the two because while relationship uncertainty is a common experience, relationship OCD can significantly interfere with daily life and functioning. Here's how you can separate them:
 There are a variety of reasons why intimacy may be lacking in a relationship. Some common causes may be due to lack of communication, unresolved conflicts, incompatibility, infidelity, exhaustion, distractions from everyday life, not spending enough quality time together, as well as one or both are struggling with a sexual desire/arousal issues.
 It's common to become overwhelmed and even preoccupied with a negative relationship. Of course, any stressor in our life, whether that be health or finances, to name a few, will often take the front stage. But do you find yourself obsessing over your relationship? Maybe you are unsure if it's the right relationship or you're ruminating about your partner's looks. Additionally, perhaps you constantly feel uncertain about your partner's feelings about you, and this anxiety is contributing to stress in your life. It might be worth it to rule out Relationship OCD.  Are you a slave to anxious compulsions?
