The not knowing is the worst. With harm ocd it is often people who are highly unlikely to want to cause harm who suffer with it. My partner was very clear and said he still loved me but he was trying to protect us both by not being together. It is definitely the OCD that has broken us up. Apparently if the partner is very attached then once the fear subsides the attachment comes back. That’s what I am hoping for but who knows what will happen! I think all you can do is live your life. It is so hard. I have been living my life like he is a soldier away at war who will come back. The hardest thing has been family and friends judging it like a normal breakup and telling me he is treating me badly and I should move on.
