Is this normal with ROCD? Obsessing over differences in experiences?

Advice Needed

Hey I’m a little new to the whole ROCD concept but have def recognized the patterns in past relationships. I currently seeing someone and I feel like I’m scared over small things. She is like me value wise and curious and smart. One thing thst I hat think is a current compulsion is looking for flaws. Even if nonexistent. Big one is I’m well travelled having done study abroad, and a dad that took me on road trips. For whatever reason, I have been triggered because this girl has never been abroad and did not do as much travel as me growing up. She is still open minded and I feel we have similar values but I feel like I’m obsessing over this as an excuse to find something wrong. Like this fact will make us incompatible. It’s not like if things get serious we won’t travel. I’m just wondering woth ing ROCD is this a normal thing? Any tips?
