This is the first time I have posted anything here in this forum. I think I am at the right place. If not feel free to move me to where I should be. Or tell me where to move this.
My H has OCD and will not take meds for it. He was taking Luvox but quit. His thing is cleanlyness. Everything must be all clean all the time. We have snow this week and cold temps last week and he was not able to work. He is about to drive me crazy. Today we white washed all the walls in the house, mopped the floors, vacuumed, he removed the calk at the sinks and replaced them because they were dirty. Hr expects me to pick up and put up all day. I can't get anything done because I'm always taking care of something. Where does this go, did you put away...., go get the ......and put it where it belongs, why is this here, on and on all day.
I try to accommodate him. I do what he asks, I clean like a crazy person, I say I clean things even though I really don't. It's just the thought that it got clean that brings him relief. He is about to drive me up the wall. I have a hard time dealing w/ him on weekends. Saturdays are clean the whole house day weather he is here or not. We are often late to church because he cleans up until it is time to go. Then he has to get ready.
Things have gotten to the point where we are really starting to disagree about the cleaning activities. I have ADD so I'm a pile maker, start a project and leave it unfinished, mess doesn't bother me. I want my house to look like someone lives here. HE wants it spotless.
I don't know what I am looking for here. What responce I am searching out. I am just feeling irritated and exausted w/ him. I guess if anyone has advice on how to stay married to some one w/ OCD that would be helpful. Thank You all for listening.
