Ocd creating false memories

Question

Recently I've been waking up believing that I've cheated on my partner on the day prior or sometime in the past. I know for a fact that I haven't done so because I haven't been going out and I have no text threads that point at infidelity of any sort. I have been obsessing and feeling guilty over something I've not even done and I can't seem to stop. It's ruining the relationship between me and my partner as well. Initially he was understanding and recognized the fact that I had OCD, but after repetitive instances like this, he's beginning to doubt me too. I can't trust my own mind and memories anymore.

I can only imagine the confusion you're under currently. You're not alone in this though, cheating OCD is a fairly common occurrence. In cases like these, although your partner's insecurities are understandable, they are only making your condition worse. Either try to work this out with them or take some time off to focus on your personal problems first.

It's a good sign that you can still rationally admit that your fears are just a part of your OCD. Have you thought about what's causing it though? Has a incident of this sort occurred in the past? If it has then you need to evaluate your thoughts and try to rid of yourself of your past guilt first to better your current situation. I hope you feel better soon.
