[quote=Anonymous]My spouse has been diagnosed with the scrupulosity form of OCD.  I would have married him regardless.  I loved him.

I will say I had no idea the financial and marital stresses that would come about once we had children, and wish I had adapted sooner (recognizing I had no choice but take on primary responsility of the kids... instead of fighting with him about it).  As the spouse, I just had to deal with it.

Because it has impacted his employment and left him depressed that he was unable to fully care for himself and his children, he eventually became active in obtaining treatment (which was a big step).

Now that our children are young adults and he is fully invested in maintaining his mental health, his symptoms are milder and I just have to live with the idea that 5-10 days a year he's just going to need space and be dealing with it and I'm on my own on those days.

Like I said, I loved him then and still love him.  But anyone who marries someone with OCD must understand that it can be very difficult and lonely at times.[/quote]
