Hi, thank you for reaching out. Comparing oneself with others is a common spiral that we all tend to go down some time or the other. It brings all the more distress when the comparison is linked to an important and dear individual in your life, and you worry about your perception in their mind. Such worries are common in the initial years of a relationship when you’re not as securely attached to your partner. You may consult a psychologist who can provide you a safe space to open up about your concerns and worries. The psychologist may assess your attachment style, level of stress, presence of any negative thoughts and limiting beliefs about yourself and help you navigate through the same and feel more content with yourself in the relationship.

It's common for individuals to compare themselves to their partner's exes and experience feelings of inadequacy or self-doubt. These feelings may stem from various factors such as past experiences, insecurities, or cognitive patterns.

Maybe.. Still that could be due to various reasons which could have been about your childhood experiences and conclusions based on those.. I would suggest you to consult a psychological Counselor to understand yourself better and to overcome this issue..

A helpful strategy is to write down your thoughts when you find yourself comparing. This can help you understand your true feelings and identify any triggers. It will be especially helpful with your history of OCD. Practicing breathing exercises, like box breathing, can also help calm your anxiety in the moment and improve emotional regulation. Consider discussing your feelings with your partner to strengthen your connection and foster understanding between you two. Additionally, therapy with Mind Sculpt, an online platform, can offer a safe space to figure things out from the convenience of your home. If you ever feel overwhelmed, therapy can provide you with techniques to manage your emotions and be present in your relationship in a healthy way.
