I 25 F have a bipolar diagnosis that has been well controlled for 3 years. My partner 31M has ocd that shows up in relationships where he struggles with feeling enough when it comes to intimacy. Sometimes I am not in the mood and this is a bit of a trigger for him but he will always respect my choice. Topics of past partners or experiences with past partners and drinking are also his triggers so I avoid these as much as possible. They do still sometimes indirectly come out and causes him to spiral and in these moments I tend to shut down emotionally and not know what to do. My day tends to get impacted by his spiral because I feel so bad that I caused this unintentionally. Do I stay while we figure out how to better cope and support each other or walk away? He’s medicated and in therapy for over a decade. It’s improved tremendously from what he has shared but it still happens for him. Any advice is appreciated.
TLDR mood is impacted by partners ocd, do I stay and work on things or leave?
