Question by worriedprincess: How to tolerate OCD?
My boyfriend has OCD, and he takes medicine for it but it clearly doesn’t work. I feel like his OCD really interferes with a lot of things. It gets really frustrating and hard to deal with. Our baby will be here in July and I really hope he tells his OCD to go away by then. I just don’t know what to do. I have talked to him about it and I don’t think he understands how much his OCD interferes. How would you handle this? Honestly, I am getting sick of handling this crap.
Also, I don’t live with him right now. He lives at his house. It’s just when we are hanging out, he has little ticks that just agitate me.

Answer by Jenny T
First of all, it’s not something he can “tell to go away”. It is something that he cannot control. Because you feel the way you do about his OCD you should discuss it with him and see if he is willing to see an OCD specialist. If he is unwilling or that doesn’t help, you may not be right for each other.
