How does Obsessive Compulsive Disorder affect relationships?
It is horrible to have OCD, but the disorder is made especially worse when it causes problems in a relationship. The normal partner is often put in an awkward position, trying to understand and often accommodate behaviors which are bizarre. From their perspective, many compromises and sacrifices are often made. This sometimes causes resentment and friction within the relationship. On the other hand, the person with the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder desperately needs the help of someone that they can confide in and trust.
