Health: Today, my boyfriend found out I have OCD. When I touch something...

Today, my boyfriend found out I have OCD. When I touch something with one hand I have to touch it with the other or I freak. After I brushed his face with the back of my hand he tackled me to the floor, held me down, and laughed at me while I panicked and tried to touch him with my other hand. FML

Today, I told my boyfriend about my foot phobia. To help me "get over it", he took his socks off, pinned me down, and rubbed his foot against my face until I started sobbing. FML

Today, I was on a subway with my boyfriend and it was stopping so I grabbed the pole for support. I felt another hand grabbing onto the pole knowing it was my boyfriend's. Without looking I carressed and tickled his hand. I turned around to smile at my boyfriend. The hand wasn't his. FML

Today, I was at my new boyfriend's flat. As I came out of the toilet he walked over, took my hand, looked at me and whispered, "You washed your hands. Good." in an extremely creepy manner. FML

Today, I finally told my boyfriend that I see a therapist every week because, amongst other things, I'm terrified of being locked in a room. He didn't believe me, so he locked me in the bathroom "for a laugh." I had a panic attack and passed out. FML

Today, my boyfriend and I were play-wrestling on the bed, when he started to tickle me. I tried to pull away but he pushed me back down. I ended up hitting my eye on the corner of the nightstand. His comment was "this is why you shouldn't struggle." FML

Today, my boyfriend yelled at me. Apparently I'm not the "classy girl" he thought I was, and he's not comfortable "doing such vile things in public." I had tried to hold his hand. FML

Today, I was on the phone with my boyfriend and I told him that I was going to tickle him, to which he responded me how he’d “crack” me in the head so that I’d never even think about tickling him again. It threw me into a panic attack and people laughed. I’m a survivor of domestic violence. FML

Today, my boyfriend of two years told me I was being too obsessive. This is the guy who has gone through my phone two separate times and deleted all of my male contacts. FML

Actually, a lot of people have some Obsessive-Compulsive behavior that doesn't rise to the level of OCD. It becomes a disorder when it starts to affect your life in a negative way, such as interfering with relationships, work, etc. Kinda like me and FML ;)

OCD is just a lame excuse for stubborn brats.

By the way, does that mean your boyfriend has to receive handjobs in pairs?

If you keep caving into your OCD, isn't it only going to get worse? Maybe he helped in an odd way. Either way it would be funny to see.

Holding her down would be like suddenly dropping a bucket of spiders on someone with arachnophobia. The idea of desensitization is good, but you don't force them into an overwhelming situation and expect it to be "therapy." All you can expect is to give them a heart attack. Either OP's bf is ignorant or an immature jerk. Make sure he knows what OCD really is, that it's not just some quirk. If he still fiddles around, I'd rethink your relationship.

I'm really glad you mentioned that. Having severe and treatment-refractory OCD myself, sometimes people think that preventing me from doing something or forcing me into an anxiety producing situation is 'helping'. Exposure therapy can work very well- but only when it's being properly administered and the patient is willing to participate. Otherwise, it's just incredibly distressing.
