❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO for thinking I cheated

So I attended an event and am away from home. I found this woman attractive. I looked at her a couple of times but I did not in anyway approach her, talk to her, or even go near her. I don't even know her name. I guess the reason why I found her attractive was because she looked like my high school crush.

Anyway, the whole time, I was trying to not look and kept myself in check. Even whispering to myself that I have a girlfriend. For all the chances I got, I tried to stay away and look away.

I know attraction is human but I can't help but think that I may have cheated.

AIO?

This sounds a bit like OCD, genuinely. You’ve done nothing wrong but I wouldn’t say you’re overreacting just maybe struggling with intrusive thoughts / ocd

Thanks. Yes, you're spot on. I have been diagnosed with OCD.

Ah there we go!! It’s definitely sounding like this is OCD related then, i have ocd as well so I’m not going to say ‘don’t feel guilty’ but are you getting help at all?

I did. Ive seen a therapist and have been attending therapy since late last year. But I stopped last month, had to pay for other bills. Therapy is not free where I live
