Hello,

Does anyone else had this compulsion/rumination to check their feelings for the partner? I have this sad compulsion where I Look at the Picture of my partner and chceck what I feel and then I look at some person that I hate in the Picture and OCD is trying to tell me that I feel the same feelings for that person that I hate as for my partner.

 

I have read a book by Jon Hershfield and Tom Corboy, saying that checking feelings for Partner creates artificial holographic feeling of love, what I understand this is a false feeling.

 

I understand that I create this false feeling while looking at the picture of my partner, But when I look at that  person I hate, I’m not trying to feel this artificial feeling of love that I just created while looking at my partner, so it won’t feel the same. The question is, does OCD creates this artificial feeling of love intrusively while I look at the picture of person I hate to make it seem the same? Any good articles on that ?

 

 

God bless you good people.
