Should I avoid watching this movie? I know what it is about. It is about a man who catches his wife in the shower with another man, who he later assaults. He goes on to live with his parents for a while. He later falls in love with a widow who also has an illness. No word on whether he and his wife will reconcile or divorce. The thought just popped up in my head and it is still bothering me to this day. I had a rough night early this week and I was fed up with thoughts about this movie and the book. Based on what I have told you, should I avoid it or should I watch it? I have a feeling that maybe I should watch it, but not really watch it because I will enjoy it. I will be anxious enough to be drawn to watching it yet wishing to avoid it at the same time because of the anxiety it will trigger. Based on what I have told you, what should I do? I have ocd and avoidance will make the ocd worse. How do I embrace and accept having ocd and that thoughts will come? Could the enemy put those thoughts in my head and cause me to be overly anxious? Is there a link between ocd and demonic activity? I am taking medication and seeing a counselor. I have made progress but I still need your advice.
