In episode 570, Robert James explains relationship OCD — how caring about your partner becomes fuel for doubt, rumination, and confusion, and why that confusion isn't proof the relationship is wrong.
He shares personal experience and practical advice: stop trying to think your way to certainty, practice presence, suspend judgment for a set time, and focus on living the relationship rather than solving it
