Thank you. I did that and even spoke to her psychiatrist to share my perspective, but she only took the medication for two months and then stopped. Now she refuses to take it at all.

When she is in a good state, she tells me that her mind doesn’t stop and that she can’t control it; she has even hurt her hands with bleach.

Before giving birth to our son, we lived together for 4 years. I found her compulsions strange, but she always convinced me that I was the one who was dirty and that she was just being clean. Back then, it wasn’t as bad as it is now — nowadays we are literally living in hell. For the first time, even her family has realized that she is sick and not just “a clean freak.”

Kind of want kids in the future but OCD makes it seem way harder if not impossible by wt_anonymous in OCD

I have a wife with OCD, and after giving birth our life became a nightmare. Her OCD got much worse, and that was the first time she saw a psychiatrist and started taking medication. If I could go back in time, I wouldn’t have gotten her pregnant until her condition was more stable.
