Why did you decide a psychiatrist might be helpful? Isn't it usually a psychologist or therapist who helps people with OCD? Hopefully this psychiatrist can assess the situation, tell your wife her options, and encourage her to get appropriate help, if needed.

An ultimatum would be hard to take, but sometimes people need to know how seriously their problems are impacting other people. It sounds like you got her attention with this, and really your ultimatum was a call for help with the marriage. It sounds like you really want the marriage to work.

Best of luck to you and your wife. Check back, OK?
