[quote=Anonymous]Don’t have kids at this point. You need to move out until she is on meds and stable in treatment for a year. Assuming you knew this before marriage, I’m assuming you are woefully uneducated on this subject. You should also seek therapy to talk through how you got into this mess (literally and figuratively).

My sister married a man with OCD, but he is medicated and in treatment. They have been married for 20 years. She would have left him if he hadn’t gotten stable. That said, his OCD came out with extreme workaholism (and some other quirks around certain things). Your wife sounds like a hoarder, which is actually dangerous.

My sister did have two kids and seems happily married, but it has included her own individual therapy and marriage counseling from time to time. This stuff is pretty inheritable. Her oldest ended up with OCD and GAD as a tween. He now has a bipolar diagnosis as well. Their second child seems unaffected. They have a happy life but that would not be the case if everyone wasn’t really seeking to do their best and med compliance is critical.[/quote]
