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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I woke up early to do the dishes and clean up, after having people over yesterday. Now my wife is mad at me because I didn't stay in bed with her longer. FML
Today, my wife bitched at me for not washing my hands before handling the dishes. The dirty dishes. That were sitting in a sink of hot soapy water. According to her, the dirt from my hands was gonna make the dirty dishes even dirtier. Huh? FML
Today, while my parents were grocery shopping, I cleaned the kitchen, swept floors, did laundry, and cleaned bathrooms, only to finish right before they got home. After dinner, my dad bitched and complained that I didn't take out the trash and he had no room to throw away his paper plate. 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, I got home to my grandma yelling at the top of her lungs that I didn't do everything I was supposed to when I was home. I literally washed dishes, cleaned counters, vacuumed, gathered trash, AND cleaned the bathroom. I didn't fold my blankets. That's it. That's what she was yelling about. FML
Today, I made breakfast for the family. Perfect. Did all the Laundry. Great. Drove the one and a half hour round trip to take my stepdaughter to work. Blah. Finished off by doing some housework and cooking dinner. The dinner wasn't perfect, and my wife told me that for all the good I do, I ruin everything. FML
Today, my roommate said that whoever was doing the dishes was doing it wrong. I've been doing the dishes for weeks. So much for being a clean roommate. FML
Today, my roommate yelled at me yet again for using the dishwasher because it's "unsanitary." This is all while a mountain of her dishes were going mouldy in the sink. FML
Today, I got yelled at for not taking an order correctly at work. I've been washing dishes all day and haven't taken a single order. FML
Today, my kids and I went to have dinner with a coworker. After everyone ate, the kids went to play while I helped clear the dishes. To my horror, instead of individually wrapping the kids leftovers, she scraped all the uneaten food back into the main pots. I wanted to puke on the spot. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well, I'd say let her do the dishes from now on. That's one less chore you have to worry about.

I'm not sure you can complain. You had to have known about her OCD when you married her.

I think this is more **** her life than yours; OCD is a terrible thing to have to deal with :(

I like how literally people are taking this... I'm doubtful that his wife has a true case of OCD. Most likely a way of exaggerating the fact that she got very particular about the task of doing dishes. Calm down, people.

PEOPLE. OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) is an actual mental condition. She's not doing it on purpose, she's not a 'perfectionist', she doesn't hate her husband. Stop being so damn stupid and look it up.

You realize what OCD is, right? It can be absolutely stressful for anyone to deal with and to be insensitive to someone about their OCD is just flat out disrespectful.

As much as that sucks, and believe me it does, it sounds like your wife may have some anxiety to deal with to get her OCD under control more than it sounds like she did it just to spite you.

If she has OCD (legitimately, not just as a figure of speech or whatever) then you should respect her and help her out

"If she wants it her way, she should do it herself." "She has no right to lash out at you!" "She's a bitch, OP." Holy shit, guys. Just shut up. Do you not realize OCD is uncontrollable? Something she cannot help? Talk about cruel, talking about someone like that without understanding one little bit about what OCD is.
