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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my girlfriend confronted me for forgetting to take the trash out. At some point during the argument, I tried to calm her down, and the words "I should of" escaped my lips. She spent the next ten minutes calling me stupid and laughing at how my grammar goes to hell when I'm distressed. FML
Today, my wife is upset at me for having to remind her of her responsibilities. She dropped the ball several times in the past, and she hates that I remind her to prepare for upcoming deadlines. FML
Today, I yelled at my girlfriend because I thought she'd thrown away an important form I needed to fill out. I found it a few minutes later, just stuck to the back of another piece of paper. After apologizing for getting mad, all she said was, "I'm used to it." FML
Today, my wife and I got into an argument. She ran out, yelling. Later, at work, I felt guilty, so I picked up some flowers and a card. When I presented them to her, she looked puzzled. I made the mistake of reminding her about our argument. She is now mad at me, again. FML
Today, I washed all the dishes and cups from the family dinner last night and put them away. When my wife saw, she had a mini OCD breakdown and yelled at me because the cups weren't lined up with each other with the handles aligned and the flower pictures facing out left. FML
Today, I cleaned up my dog's crap after my wife asked me. Five minutes later she yelled at me for being lazy as she slammed the door leaving for work. My dog had shat in the exact same spot, apparently to make me look stupid. FML
Today, I made the mistake of being competent at chores, so according to my wife I’m trying to show her up, because I don’t appreciate her contribution to the household, and I secretly think she’s useless, blah blah. I had a day off so I cleaned the kitchen and bathroom. Lock me up, I’m guilty. FML
Today, my wife yelled at me for putting away her rain coat and two sweaters that were hanging on the back of chairs. Because, “I was about to do that!” My mistake. They had only been there for a week. Ah, marital bliss. FML
Today, my wife blamed me for the washing machine breaking. When I told her it wasn’t me because I haven’t used it this week, she immediately changed direction and started blaming me for not doing enough around the house, which is utter bullshit. I know I do my share, I think she just wanted to fight. FML
Today, my wife put petrol in my diesel car and ruined the engine, I got a bit upset, but I wasn’t screaming or yelling or anything, but she flew completely off the handle at me at how I was putting all the blame on her and it wasn’t fair. I ended up apologising to her for her mistake. FML

for everyone saying "she has more problems than OCD" thats not even thinking about the wife. OCD is really hard, and its difficult once you notice something thats "wrong" to ignore it. if they talk about it and they both understand that A) the husband isnt doing it on purpose and B) OP realizes its OCD and she doesnt need to be upset at her husband, then everything should be okay. just takes patience and practice

Is your wife getting treatment for this? It sounds like your home life has to be incredibly stressful, for both of you, if she's being triggered into shouting you down for something you did unintentionally.

She may have taken to far, but seriously there a right and wrong way for the tp to go.

Sometimes, if a woman is angry, it's not really about what she says it's about. There is some area of your life with her that you ARE disappointing her. Discover that and fix it. Oh, and when she's all worked up talking is really no help. A playful or silly loving act might do the trick to bring her out of it.

If you hung the toilet paper so that you roll it towards the wall then you Should have apologized, that's a despicable thing to do ocd or not

You should care about your wife not only sexually but financially as well and try to fullfil her needs:-)

My husband has OCD and by the time we got married the little things that set his OCD off were second nature not to do for me. Sounds like you are probably being inconsiderate and ignoring what you know to be her triggers. If to many things trigger my husband he has severe anxiety attacks over it. If she doesn't have real diagnosed OCD then she needs to calm down and try not being so anal.

Atleast you put new paper on the roll. Most of the people in my household don't.

I know it may sound stupid but OCD can be crippling. if I'm walking with 2 people and one goes in one door and the other goes in another I can't step through a door. or around a light pole.. I just can't step forward.. It's that bad. And it's all because of my OCD

Was she actually diagnosed with OCD, or are you just saying she has it because that's easier? Also, there is only one right way to hang the toilet paper. Over the top, not hanging down the back.
