No matter how hard I try my husband will never really understand how bad Rocd feels and will find a way to hurt my feelings...he may believes that this is something manageable even uf i have explained a hundred times that my mind works like that on its own. I am fed up explaining when I see that, even if he helps me in household with our baby etc, he doesn't seem to fully understand how trembling and severe this is for me. I know he can not possibly understand it completely but why doesn't he just try to let me do whatever I am comfortable with and tries to consult me when he is unaware in reality? He gets easily irritated when I start accusations, compulsions and ask him questions but I have already explained that this is due to my mental issue... what else can I do???

I'm sorry you're going through this. It's really hard when your partner is not fully understanding the issue, especially with rocd. I showed the channel "Awaken into love" on youtube to my boyfriend and it really helped him. There's a video on how partners can help and understand rocd better. Maybe you can try by showing him this?

Yes i have to find articles or videos in Greek! Thank you for your help!

Hey im greek! Lol. With relationship ocd

I do try to understand and thank him almost every day for accepting my situation but there are times when he is. Not careful with his words and he would say hurtful things. I know he doesn't really want to hurt me and maybe its because of his tiredness and sadness. I don't like to make excuses but it is a reality that suffering from a mental illness makes you feel horrible with yourself first and guilty for doing compulsions and say unkind words to your significant others. All I am saying is people with mental illness experience symptoms that they do not desire and suffer as they are locked in an endless negative loop. On the other hand the partner does suffer from this situation but if they have a good mental health they can, in a way, control some of their reactions and behaviour towards the other person. All we need when we suffer from Ocd is understanding, compassion and support. We don't want to be excused but fully accepted as we already feel so bad for ourselves. I would like him to be more careful with his words and reactions just because he already knows and sees I didn't choose to be this person and act like that.
