This might sound a little confusing but keep in mind i was never like this before one of my ex's. I obsess over little things and have unwanted thoughts. I met this guy i started talking to and i noticed the dumbest thing of all that i have no prob. with. I told my 2 friends and she was like "man boobs?" so i laughed because it sounded funny then i laughed when my other friend said it. Honestly, i think it was the shirt he was wearing that day because i seen him again yesturday and it wasn't like that. I couldn't care less either way. If i don't care, why do i keep thinking about this? Could it be my medication for OCD making me worse? I was never like this before my ex. I have a feeling i am going to push myself away from a great guy just because of this. OCD sucks but help please!

I am the one who started this and i just want to say. Maybe i am not ready to date but OCD makes me obsess over things so will i remember this when i am ready to date him? They really arn't bad but i feel i can't be with him because i keep remembering i was obsessing over something stupid that i don't even care about. Maybe after i kiss him and if there is that spark then i will stop thinking so much. What do you think

I completely understand as I have OCD myself. I did the same thing in my new relationship. It took me about 4 months to get past all these stupid little things. Every one was even tell me how hot my boyfriend is. You will get past it. You may not be ready to date.

Could it be that you are subconsciously looking for faults in this new man because you haven't completely gotten over your "ex"?....Sometimes a reluctance to move on, will make us pick another man apart for the silliest little things.

But it's okay to be turned off by "man boobs"...physical attraction is what brings us together in the first place. If this is something turns you off, then you probably shouldn't completely ignore it. (How bad are they? Maybe he just needs to loose a few pounds?) Otherwise, I suggest you go see your healthcare provider and tell them what's going on. Maybe they can adjust your medication or switch you to something new.

Best of luck!
