Suffering in silence?

OCD in general is something that many people aren't eager to share with others. After all, many popular depictions of OCD display the disorder as comical at best, and it's never fun to be known as the guy (or gal) with the mental disorder. This is especially true in the case of something like ROCD, where the disorder is directly related to those we would be most likely to turn to for support. The prospect of facing our significant other and saying, "Honey, I know I love you, but I have a disease that makes me think I don't. I know that hurts, but I'd like you to stick with me even if I feel compelled to tell you that I'm not sure I love you," isn't terribly appealing. Unfortunately, social support is a great predictor of positive outcomes in mental illness, so it's probably in our best interest to turn to someone. Still, it's easy to be skeptical of the help others will provide? Will they understand what we're experiencing, or just advise us to get out of what they assume is a bad relationship?

I've been to nervous about possible misunderstanding to even tell my therapist about my ROCD symptoms (though I plan to change that soon), and I only mentioned once (very offhandedly) to my fiance. How about you? Has anyone shared their struggle with their significant other, friends, or therapists? How did it go? Did they take it well, or in retrospect do you with you'd kept it to yourself? I'd love to know the best way to approach this (and I'm sure lot's of other people would like to know, too).
