Thank you ALL for your words of courage and wisdom. 😁🥰 Divine has it right in my case, we've been together for 6 years, that's not nothing. I have love for all my friends, and hopefully he will remain one too, with love. I'm not in love anymore however. It's SO HARD to be the tough guy though. I know he is in charge of his own life but it truly seems I'm his only support system right now. He's also in rocky waters with his friends due to some of the same behaviors I struggle with. I think treatment will help but he doesn't think so, bc he says, 'this is who I am,' not fully accepting of the OCD ( officially since last year). he simply can't/ doesn't see how miserable I am tho, despite our counseling. 😥 It will be hard, I don't know when to do it.
