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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

There's more than one way to do this?

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

Did you know about her OCD when you proposed to her? If so, you made a commitment to stay with her for life and support her. You're a dick for posting for the world to see about her mental illness.

What? So just because you know about someone's medical conditions or bad habits, etc, (not calling a mental illness a bad habit, fyi) means that it can NEVER become a deal breaker, because you already knew about it? What if she gets worse? What if, like my sister-in-law's first husband who is BiPolar, she stops taking her meds, refuses help, and becomes abusive to him and any children they might have had? He should just stay with her because he made a vow? While I agree that people shouldn't cut and run at the first sign of a bumpy road, nor should they be tied to a block of concrete and left to drown merely because they promised to do so, especially if their life or own mental health is in danger.

Talk with her about it. If you guys are really serious about getting married, you need to be able to work through things 'better' and 'worse'. If she's willing to talk with someone about this (like a doctor or therapist) and find ways to overcome this hurdle, then y'all will be just fine! If she's not willing to.. or if you approach it accusingly, then you may want to wait to get married till you can figure out how to communicate and work things out.

My little brother has a really bad case of OCD. She needs to go back to therapy and possibly change her medication. It's not easy for you (trust me I completely understand beig put through this by someone you love- sucks) but its not easy for her- she's suffering. You need to talk to her and tell her she needs to seek professional help in order for her to stop suffering and to live in existence with her OCD not underneath her OCD. It will be tough but you two an do it! Good luck OP :)

That's nothing compared to my OCD. You've got it easy, trust me. Not only do I do things that drive Me and everyone else.crazy, but I.argue with myself about it afterward.

Not funny at all.

OCD is a serious mental illness, and I see that some commenters don't realize that. Try some therapy or counseling. You can minimize the crippling effect it can have, and you can both enjoy your marriage as well. It's hard, but anyone with a mental illness wants someone to stick by them through their faults and hardships. Be that person. /endsappycomment
