Does 'he loves me, he loves me not' dilemma ruin your sex life?
There is a level of insecurity for those who have questions about their love life on their mind
Mumbai: Do you keep wondering whether your partner loves you or not? If yes, you could be suffering from relationship obsessive-compulsive disorder (ROCD) according to research.
According to the study, people who worry about whether their partners love them or not could have a damaging impact on their own sex lives. There is a level of insecurity for those who have questions about their love life on their mind.
"ROCD symptoms are often overlooked by family and couple therapists," said researcher Guy Doron of Interdisciplinary Centre (IDC) Herzliya in Israel.
"When these worries start to have an impact on everyday life, particularly on someone's ability to do their job, it could mean they are suffering from a condition known as "relationship obsessive-compulsive disorder" (ROCD)," Doron was quoted as saying.
The researchers said that it may actually be better for people showing ROCD symptoms to have these symptoms treated before entering couples therapy for sexual and relationship problems.
The study was published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine.
