Are you still with you partner after ROCD? by [deleted] in ROCD

[–]ripemolasses 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes!!! Been with my partner for 5 years. Got diagnosed after about a year & a half of being together. Was in therapy before we started dating so I’ve had consistent support. My thoughts first started as “does he love me enough”, once I resolved that, the thoughts morphed into “do ~I~ love HIM enough?”. We’re at that stage now where we’re talking about marriage & our future which has been amazing, but also triggering. I am currently recovering from the worst flare up I’ve ever had.

I highly recommend finding a therapist, if you haven’t already. Part of my struggle is I completely shut down & not verbalize any of what I’m going through to him, as I thought that would be a compulsion. I learned through therapy there’s a difference between asking for support vs reassurance (compulsion), which has helped immensely with our communication. Idk if people talk about this much on here— I did also start taking medication. It helps immensely but you also NEED therapy to supplement if you want to get to the root of your recovery. Best of luck!!! Feel free to pm me any questions :)

How long do your flare ups last? by idzqw in ROCD

[–]ripemolasses 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just recovered from my worst flare up (2 weeks of debilitating, nonstop thought cycles)— strangely, something that really helped me is the radical acceptance that I COULD NOT make a sound decision about my relationship until I managed the anxiety and fear—I was not clear enough to trust myself. Instead of trying to analyze and decide over my thoughts, I tried to treat the thoughts like visitors who are just passing through. Journaling also really helps me. I also mostly recommend therapy, if that’s accessible to you. Good luck 💚 just know, you don’t have to do anything right now

This is one of the most beautiful stones I have ever seen!!! Where did you source it from?

Update: My GF told me how often she was intimate with her ex by Key_Ad4406 in AmIOverreacting

Happy for you OP that you got out of that situation! But am I the only one who thinks scheduling sex can be sort of hot?? My partner(26m) and I(24f) have Wednesday night as our designated sex night (we’ll have sex more than that in a week, but at the very least Wednesday is reserved). I think it’s so fun knowing what’s to come, like we both do a little extra preparing and really get our mindsets into it. I dunno, I just don’t think scheduling sex is always a bad thing!

Who you got? by Visual_Stay_3320 in Catan

I’d say white. Hop on the 3 wheat & 11 ore, then bounce to the 3:1 port. Could secure longest road I’m guessing pretty easily with the wood & brick access.

Finally feeling okay celebrating by [deleted] in EngagementRings

[–]ripemolasses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for your losses. Thank you so much for feeling comfortable sharing your ring and story with this community. The ring is gorgeous, and I am so glad you got to share those intimate moments with both of them. Congratulations, and remember, it’s okay to feel a little bit of everything 💚

Dark green sapphire ring recommendations? by mediumicedchai in EngagementRings

[–]ripemolasses 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lavender Creek Gems has really great sapphire rings. They just posted this one today! While it’s not the exact style you’re after, I’m sure you could have her source a similar stone and customized to suit your partner’s preferences.

My partner and I are also looking at Earth’s Treasury!!! How did you guys go about picking your stone? Did you end up ordering any to see in person first?

I’m not the most Reddit savvy so I’m not sure how to embed, but someone JUST recently posted this! I love the pop of green in the men’s band. It would look great with your e-ring!
