I don't have MI.

My DH has Tourettes with severe OCD. Of course I don't look down on him or I'd never marry him.

But there are times I need to ask if he took his meds. On very rare occasion he forgets them (he also has ADHD that is common with Tourette's so he forgets things).

He doesn't mind I ask because on occasion he forgets and it makes him realize that it's time to take it! Last time he forgot it, he had hard time at work (blurting stuff, twitching and obsessing up to the point of being unable to finish a task), so we discuss some strategies like maybe keep few pills locked in the car in case he forgets. Meds are for OCD but they also help with Tourette's symptoms. Asking if someone took their meds isn't necessarily offensive. Depends on why one asks

I also on occasion ask "is this OCD? Or Tourette's? Or just you?" We gave joiking way about it) It helps me understand what's going on. If its Tourette's and OCD behavior then it's no problem. If it's just him then I'd like him not to do Xyz. He doesn't mind if I ask, it makes him slowdown and think what's behavior is about. Etc

It's not always easy to live with someone with pretty severe Tourette's but it's much harder to live and be successful with actual Tourette's . My husband wouldn't marry me if I wasn't understanding or look down on him.

I don't know why people stay with those who puts them down (MI or anything else)
