I have been contemplating this so much lately and still dont know what to think. I dont know anyone with OCD, let alone ever dated anyone with it. My boyfriend is opposite of everything OCD and he has a really hard time understanding me. He usually just gets mad at me or picks a fight. I dont think i have it as bad as some people but it affects certain things i do like traveling, etc. Sometimes he just makes me feel awful. I already feel so guilty for having it because i know how it affects him. I try to overcompensate for it by being extra nice, helping as much as i can, being extra supportive and understanding, try to give him whatever he wants .

I just dont know if im taking the right attitude about the whole thing. I have a tendency to let people walk all over me and im not sure if im letting him do that. Part of me thinks i should just deal with the hurtful things because i have a guy that isnt cheating  on me, is a good guy, and  cares about me but the other half thinks, is this really who im suppose to be with? Or is there someone out there who im suppose to be with that doesnt care about my issues with OCD.

Growing up in an irish catholic family, its important that my parents approve of whoever i marry and its getting to the point where i dont think they would approve. They think the way he treats me is mean even though they like him and think hes a nice guy. I feel so guilty for feeling this way. Im not sure whether i should try to be more understanding or if i need to realize that he isnt treating me right.

Ive tried talking to him about it but he makes me feel worse and it turns into a fight and i HATE arguing and will do anything to avoid it. Do any of you guys have experience with this? What do you think i should do?
