Not sure if I should pursue nursing, or give into ocd limerence and get married

I have relationship/social ocd and due to a long history of trauma and asperger's related anxiety and narcissistic abuse, it led to me developing this strain. I feel an obsessive urge to contingency plan my relationships, especially romantic, while being afraid to engage in any of them, and being unable to pursue them for religious reasons at times with people of my culture but being allowed to by my mom with people outside my culture. I'm Muslim. So I constantly develop limerence (obsessive infatuation over someone, in my case with hyperanalysis). I'm 24. and a guy. should I marry or pursue school since my problem is deeper?

I should also note I have difficulties with employment due to my autism. 

But I do have the option of going into a tech boot camp. basically should I do nursing or a coding boot camp and give in to ocd

The best advice I can give you is get help related to your trauma. The problem seems deeper. Avoidance can cause long term suffering.
