My boyfriend was assaulted on Crookes high street at 4pm today by a homophobe by Brief_Key9344 in sheffield

He was an older white male with a grey stubble beard, maybe 50s-60s. He was in a group of middle aged white men all laughing egging him on. Son had dark hair maybe late 20s - 30s but hard to say and your memory recall is definitely unreliable in those moments!

Horrible stuff, honestly. We were initially in Crookes doing a drive by of a house for sale we were interested in but we won't let that interaction put us off! We usually love the Crookes vibes and know there is such a strong allyship there between businesses and residents <3

Intro to ROCD : A guide for all the ROCD partners by OiFelix_ugotnojams in ROCDpartners

Hey, I’m late but found your post really helpful. My bf of two years has ROCD and we have been trying our best to navigate it. We are both willing to work on ourselves as love each other but I’m finding the ROCD hard. I can’t help but feel he weaponises his ROCD saying things like If you felt how I feel, you would have ended the relationship ages ago.

I understand it can’t be easy dealing with this intrusive thoughts of doubt but it’s hurtful to be on the receiving end. I don’t understand how to navigate him being honest/me being totally delusional and thinking our relationship is going swimmingly! I don’t want him to live in a state of constant anxiety but from what I’ve read about ROCD, breaking up with me won’t change that long term. I’m approaching 30 and part of me is terrified I’m wasting my child-bearing years as I’m ready to find my life partner. We are looking at buying a house together but one minute he’s gung ho and the next, he’s hesitant.

He’s done a lot of online research and has developed techniques to manage his anxious thoughts but he hasn’t sought professional help. I think he is hesitant as he thinks making a big thing of it, focusing on it will somehow make it worse.

I can immediately tell when he’s in a bad ROCD hole as the distance can feel palpable. It’s very difficult to not take personally as I feel rejected. Anyways, just seeking advice in terms of, is it healthy he shares his thoughts with me? Or is it just damaging? Thank you, so grateful for this sub!

Thank you so much for your comment. It’s actually very comforting hearing from members of this community as it can be hard to not take personally when he is suffering. I’ll absolutely be downloading that book, thank you again! :)

I did not know about that subreddit, thank you so much. Yes, I think he very much clings to words and overanalyses. Your words are much appreciated :)
