I deal with the same issue. Due to my ocd people gossip about me constantly and try to control me and tell me I shouldn’t get in a relationship or have children and I don’t even really go out at all and I’m a virgin besides that. I don’t share the same desire to have children really but people are crazy and they have a hard time believing me. This is my first time dating ever and I’m in my early 20s and honestly I think children are a hassle at this point with my life being the way it is. I’m so sorry though since you actually do want children. That’s gotta be a nightmare. You shouldn’t let you ocd or people control your life forever. I always do my best to heal and move forward.
