hi ,
james p replying to my wifes post. The past year has not been easy for either of us.but since ive been receiving the right treatment there have been lots of improvement. but there are also days that are set backs where i can feel the anxiety and intrusive thoughts setting in and its a battle within myself to control them. thankfully most days i can control my actions but when i cant sometimes i lie to myself ot to my wife who i love very much.
You see my OCD has to do with the opposite sex and watching or gawking at them. i am also a man so it is only natural for me to look to some extent. i just wish my wife could be a little more understanding of what its like for me .
it hurts so much when she makes remarks to hurt me because she thinks i want to be some where else or with someone else. ALL NOT TRUE. i ttry to tell her that what i do has nothing to do with my respect for her or how i feel about her.sometimes it happends before i know it. IM looking for any litereture that might help her see it from my point of veiw
any suggestions
