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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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!

So stop the wedding. This is your fault for staying - marriage doesn't make things better.

I had OCD and it really is terrifying when people do things like that. Its the whole mentality that something horrible is going to happen if you dont do it the exact way. The only safe way to undo it is to do it correctly multiple times. I got medication and my OCD has gotten a million times better. I hope your fiancee is okay.

She has an illness. You knew this. Marry her or don't, but you'll need to embrace and accept the way she is.

if you can't do it right and she can't do it after a dozen times does it really matter?

If you love her you shouldnt let this effect your decision to marry her. However OCD is sometimes really serious and needs professional help. Consider talking to her about getting treatment

If you actually love her that means you will accept her in-spite of her faults, OCD is something she can't control and yeah she may do stuff that will drive you insane, trust me it drives her just as insane knowing she has to do it without being able to control it, so just be there for her mate.

It's your choice to marry her or not. You know she has OCD so what are you complaining about? YDI

People choose to have kids. They can still complain about them.

Her OCD has probably been exacerbated by stress from the wedding planning. The next day, talk to her. Tell her that you know she is stressed, and that you want to help. Tell her that you know she wouldn't ordinarily talk to you like that; chances are that she'll feel embarrassed and upset that she hurt you, but she'll understand where you are coming from. Help her make wedding favors and other last-minute planning and/or help her make a plan to call her bridesmaids for help. Get details for the honeymoon nailed down. Once she has less to be stressed about, help her unwind. Massage her. Take her out to dinner or to a play. Remember that you're getting married. You're her partner. You're going to have to learn to help her manage her OCD, just like she helps you with your problems.
