For Maisy*, 30, that emotional side of things was important – as well as having a shared common ground. About a year into being married, we started having some serious problems. Around Christmas of that year, I started putting pieces together. Eventually I moved in with the man from work and got custody of my kids. He was amazing from the very start. The kids had a lot to unlearn. The oldest had a habit of getting in the middle when her younger siblings were in trouble, an almost unconscious need to protect them from the man in the house. Eventually they learned he would never hurt them and began to build relationships with him and trust him. He denied it tooth and nail, but not only did I notice; EVERYONE we worked with did too. I had to see them every day, pretending like nothing was going on. Of course, we broke up. My questions are: is there any form of medication that may help in addition to therapy, should my husband know about these thoughts?!

I was lonely,’ she tells Metro.co.uk. ‘I was unhappy in the relationship, in part because he had cheated on me previously, but also unhappy just in general.I had moved in with my girlfriend about 3,000 miles away from my home and didn't know anybody in the area.

I had never thought of trying to peacefully coexist with my OCD, just to get rid of it – I’ll be keeping that in mind. And I will never look at white soap the same way again!! I had been with my partner for a little less than a year, things were good but not great, and I started a new job. My training started, and on the first day we introduced ourselves and did some ice breakers — ya' know normal stuff. However there was this guy; he was so beautiful, and I still don't know why, but I caught his eye too. So fast-forward a few days and we've become completely distracted by one another, to the point that other people were noticing."

What an excellent post!!! I loved reading the details of some of your bizarre thoughts. I have OCD too, and though many therapists have said “everyone has OCD” and then they give almost “trite” examples – providing the specifics really humanizes the experience. Thank you. This was really well written. I initially thought they were both single, and I thought, More power to them! They'd be cuddling in the glam trailer, sneaking off during lunch, and arriving to and from set together so everybody thought it was just another show-mance. In yoga during opening meditation, the teacher said, “Breathe in calm, relaxation, harmony, and peace. Now breathe out stress, strain, suffering and dis-ease.” Well since I had run out of breath on my exhale, I breathed in dis-ease! This can’t be good.

I would be very grateful if you could give me some advice on how to deal with this situation or how to talk to him?

I had it coming."Hi Raven, Ahhh the dreaded ‘what ifs.’ The phrase ‘what if’ is one of the biggest OCD tip offs I know. Surely anything that follows will be one of the limitless Then two years later, we started talking again and decided to take things more seriously this time. He would take time off work to spend the day with me and leave home early to stop by on his way to work. He would also spend work from home days at place so his wife would think he was at work when he was actually spending the day with me. Im working on using mindfulness for my thoughts ie: accepting the thoughts and not thinking they are good or bad , but just thoughts About a year later, I got a text out of the blue, and we rekindled things for a while.
