You are not failing your partner. You were never given the right information.Living with someone who has OCD is exhausting in ways that are almost impossible to explain to anyone who hasn't done it. The rituals. The reassurance questions that never actually reassure. The life you have quietly reorganised around a disorder that keeps demanding more.
You love this person. And somehow, that love keeps making things worse.
This book changes that.
Written by a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over forty years of clinical experience, OCD in Intimate Relationships is the guide that partners have always needed and rarely had. Not a book about OCD in general. A book about what OCD does to the person sitting across from it every single day - and exactly what to do about it.
You will learn:
- Why everything you've been doing out of love is feeding the disorder - and how to stop without withdrawing that love
- The clinical truth about reassurance-giving and why answering the question is never the answer
- How to build a Relationship Agreement that holds up under pressure, designed by both of you
- What genuine support looks like - warm, boundaried, and actually therapeutic
- How to reclaim the intimacy, spontaneity, and shared life that OCD has quietly taken
This is not about becoming your partner's therapist. It is about becoming the partner they actually need.
Recovery from OCD is possible. Your relationship can be larger than the disorder. This book shows you how.
For partners. For spouses. For anyone who chose someone and discovered that OCD came along too.
