My boyfriend has OCD tendencies which he terms 'anality.' He claims that there are advantages and disadvantages to his behaviours and compulsions, and does not consider he is in need of assistance.
it is also something that is in his family. his father never ate dinner with the family for instance, b/c he could never get away from his bussiness on time, and once at home, spent significant time ensuring the home/car/etc is secure and everything is in its right place. i feel that my boyfriend may have learned his attitudes from his parents, while he believes it's genetic (perhaps doesn't want to believe tht he could learn something and not be aware of learning it). i worry about our kids picking up habits from him, and about him becoming worse as he gets older.

am i worrying about nothing?
he is also a medical research scientist, and i think his job is also intensifying his fear of germs etc.

also, how do i support him? i don't know how to get him help if he doesn't see it as a problem.

thanks
Vylert.
