From The Other Side       02/15/05 04:20 PM Edit Reply Quote Bevvy Reged: 11/04/03 Posts: 5918 Loc: Northwest Washington State Hi there, SS, Well, it is I who is obsessive-compulsive in our relationship. You know Bree on "Desperate Housewives"? Well, I'm sorry to say I can really relate to her, especially the scene in the shrink's office and the shrink's jacket button. Oh yeah, I'd have reached in my purse for my traveling sewing kit! I have to have everything at the right angle. If anyone touches anything in the house, I know it, I spot it immediately. I'm a nut case. It was very difficult for Don -- at first. After 7 years of frustration, we finally went through therapy and worked very hard at our marriage. I had to lighten up, and he needed to stop throwing his underwear in the dirty clothes basket inside-out. It's a give-and-take kinda thing. I had to respect him, and he me. He also needed to help me out. Now, after 39 years of marriage, I look the other way when he doesn't dust under the mantel clock. When he's out of the house, I take the dust rag and do it myself, but don't tell him about it. However, it sounds like this isn't at all about his obsessive-compulsiveness, it's all about whether or not you want to stay with him. It sounds, from your last paragraph, that you've already moved on...? Please, before you give up on your current, analyze whether it might be worth seeing a psychiatrist -- BOTH of you. Don't give up without a fight, not after having invested 10 long years in the relationship. You both deserve better.
