Support for Carers, Friends and Parents
I feel really bad for posting this but I think this is the best way to go about getting help and advice. I'm hoping my gf doesn't find this, the chances are small, and if she ever works out it's me then maybe she'll understand I'm only posting this because I care.
I do not want to give out too many details, all I will say is that my girlfriend has very bad OCD and there are times when I find it very difficult to cope. The OCD mainly takes the form of cleaning, and the place where we live is very very clean all the time. This is nice, of course, but it does make it hard to relax in my own flat when I'm wiping up every single crumb, fingerprint, keeping each room sufficiently aired etc all the time.
The thing is, she likes her OCD and doesn't see it as an issue. She sees it as being superior to others because it's cleaner and more hygienic. I am very supportive about it and sometimes I get angry, but only rarely, and even if I feel myself getting annoyed most of the time I can just swallow it.
I really just would like some help and advice of the best way for me to deal with it, the best mental attitude for me to carry. She would agree that I'm very supportive but at times it does get very hard, and I would like an objective opinion from others here. Thanks.
