I have OCD, I understand that some of the things I have to do before I rest control me, I do not control them. Medication has helped, but now every thing in my life is broken down into a simple question: "Will this be important to me in a year?" Live each day as if it were your last. If this was your last day on earth, which would make a difference? Getting your chores done or spending time with your wife?
Thanks for the perspective. Like everything else, relationships are about compromise and I never, EVER, want to have separate beds from my wife. We just need to work thru the differences.

For you folks who are both morning people or both night owls, consider yourselves VERY lucky!
