Today, my fiancée's OCD hit a new low when she screamed at me for flicking the light-switch off "the wrong way". This led to her flicking it on and off about a dozen times, followed by a twenty-minute lecture on how to do it "properly". We're getting married next month. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my partner got mad at me for forgetting to turn off the bedroom light when coming back from brushing my teeth, and has chosen to sleep in our spare bedroom over it. FML
Today, I reminded my fiancee's kid to put the toilet seat up when he pees. My fiancée heard and shrieked at me to stop being controlling and weird. Yesterday, she threw a tantrum because there was piss on the toilet seat. I can't win. FML
Today, my boyfriend found out I have OCD. When I touch something with one hand I have to touch it with the other or I freak. After I brushed his face with the back of my hand he tackled me to the floor, held me down, and laughed at me while I panicked and tried to touch him with my other hand. FML
Today, my girlfriend called me an "obsessive weirdo" for always checking the chamber on my handgun whenever I pick it up. The last time I let her touch it, she mishandled it and shot a hole in the floor. Glad she's learned her lesson. FML
Today, I got into a fight with my mom because she believes that my fiancé is "irresponsible" and "immature". I stormed out and drove back home. There, I walked in on my fiancé and his friends. They were in a heated and almost violent argument over which CSI is the best. The wedding's next month. FML
Today, my wife yelled at me for being a bastard and not caring about her needs. I felt like an asshole and apologized for everything. It took me a few hours to realize I'd basically just apologized for unknowingly hanging the toilet paper the "wrong way" for her OCD. FML
Today, my girlfriend snapped at me for being lazy and incompetent, and declared that if I was going to behave like a child, she would be treating me like one. This includes safety-proofing the house, talking to me like a 3-year-old and slapping me with a wooden spoon when I do something wrong. FML
Today, my fiancée decided to go on a "vacation." Our wedding is tomorrow. FML
Today, my fiancé told me it was a mistake to propose to me. FML
Today, I accidentally walked in on my girlfriend changing. She responded by screaming, throwing herself on the ground to avoid me seeing her, and crawling into the bathroom. We've been living together for two months. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

There's more than one way to do this?

Make sure you request lots and lots of light bulbs on your wedding registry!

And you didn't think this would be a problem before?

What the **** is the "correct way"? Seriously!
RaggleFrock 13
The correct way to turn off a light is to push it with your right index finger, but only if you are right handed. If you happen to be left handed you should use your left index finger. If you are ambidextrous you must learn to use the force. I hope that helps you.

You must caress and love the switch when you turn it on. How would you like it if somebody turned you on and left?

hey op! this will REALLY turn her bonkers, when she is out, turn a few light switches upside down, its simple and safe with the power turned off, or if you are just careful. watch the her turn into a babbling idiot.. im a big fan of, excuse the pun, shock therapy. she won't know what to do with erself. and you don't need to admit to anything!

It would be pretty obvious it was him. What a douche bag move.

I doubt OP wants to worsen her condition, otherwise this wouldn't be an FML.

19- Please promise me you will never, ever become a therapist.
MrSassypants 34
And if #19 ever does become a therapist, they would be like the Geico therapist that was an ex drill sergeant.

Yes, let's purposely mess with someone who has a mental disorder. Sounds like a grand old time! Just kidding, you're actually an asshole

You are obviously a bad person and a huge waste of life. Seriously.

You better learn how to do it properly, then! Unless you want to get lectured again in the future. Even if it is a bit crazy, it's probably easier to just do it and avoid problems. A happy wife is a happy life!

You have to think if this is something you can spend your life with. Marriage is a big deal, divorce is a hassle, and your marriage may be close but you could always back out if you can't take it. Plus, you could always try couples therapy or something. Best of luck!

Run!!!

Seriously?! **** her life. OCD is really hard and it ruins a lot of things. I know it's annoying but if you love her enough that you can marry her you should love her enough to stay by her side as she tries to overcome the disorder.
RockstarRN 10
Agreed!

Her OCD is probably in overdrive due to the stress of the wedding. Wedding planning is bad enough, when your OCD the million details to decide would likely be overwhelming to someone with that disorder. She'll likely return to normal after the wedding...

I have OCD and I'm trying to plan my wedding; it is tough because everything HAS to be perfect and done in a certain order and a certain way. It's a nightmare, but on the plus side it's fun too.

She can't control her feelings/thoughts due to her disorder. She can control her actions. Having a mental disorder doesn't mean you're no longer ever responsible for your decisions.

Wow. And I thought the toilet paper debate was bad.
LuckyLynx7732 5
Well I'm guessing you never have to pick up around the house. Seriously though, get her to a therapist (possibly get her some meds) or run like hell.
TazInYourPantz 13
Run now. Run fast.

Are you the type of person who thinks relationships should be perfect? ***SPOILER ALERT*** They're not.
mattorama 15
There's "less than perfect," then there's being yelled at for using a light switch in a sub optimal manner.
