[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does he need to shower twice? So he can spend less time with his family? He should shower right after working out. No one needs to shower before working out.[/quote]

He may be ocd? He used to shower more, but now he showers in the AM, after work, and after working out or taking out the trash. [/quote]

Is he getting any treatment?  It is the job of the mentally healthy person to get the mentally ill person to recognize that they have a problem.  Despite what your husband tells you, a goox spouse would not walk on eggshells around this behavior and would call it out.  
If your husband dragged himself into the house tomorrow paralyzed from the waist down and told you that he was fine and that you need to just deal with him slithering around the house would you accept it?  Or would you make him face what’s going on, go to the doctor, and get a diagnosis, PT, and a wheelchair?

Same thing here.  He is making your life difficult because of his untreated anxiety.  He needs to get treatment.  You need to stop enabling his odd behavior.  [/quote]

His mother and her parents are the same. He thinks it is normal. I’m not going to suggest he seek help for a behavior that was ingrained in him from childhood, he will feel I am criticizing his family. His family are also not open to suggestions or change. 
Whatever he has may be “untreated” but he much better. He used to have many more rituals that he has stopped. He is also able to deal with my child touching him with dirty hands without yelling. [/quote]
