Ok I could of posted this in the OCD section but all my friends are here!

Ok well my bf is very OCD and paranoid about things such as electronics. Just a small example: he won't even set his phone down on a surface. It has to have something like a towel or blanket to put it on even though his phone has a case. When he takes it out of his pocket, he very slowly slides it out and then blows on the screen to get dust off. If a person in trouble ever needed to use his phone to call help, he rather stab his eye out. And don't get me started on his lap top! And I absolutely am NOT allowed to touch anything. He's not hiding anything I know that (I've snooped lol) but I am not sure touch anything.

A few week ago we got into our biggest fight yet. I started to gather his clothes and put them by the front door. Then...I grabbed the almighty laptop!!!! I PLACED it on his clothes and his eyes went RED. Before, he was sitting on the couch not speaking a word and now, after I touched the computer, he was coming right for me. No, he didn't hurt me.

I've spoken to him about why and how. He said he's been like this since he was young and it started with shoes. A kid in grade school stepped on his shoe getting mud on it and my bf cried! He says "when I was growing up I was taught that if you break something, it's not getting replaced so I take care of my things." And I guess he was in therapy for it back then.

We bought a new tv the other day and he spent 10 min telling me how to properly handle the new remote and how to place it back onto the table. "Don't nick the sides! Wash your hands before touching it!"

Question is, do I worry? (Because I sure am). And does this need therapy? This really gets to me and I feel like I'm walking on eggshells.
