Love: Today, my wife yelled at me for being a bastard and not caring...

Today, my wife yelled at me for being a bastard and not caring about her needs. I felt like an asshole and apologized for everything. It took me a few hours to realize I'd basically just apologized for unknowingly hanging the toilet paper the "wrong way" for her OCD. FML

Today, my girlfriend confronted me for forgetting to take the trash out. At some point during the argument, I tried to calm her down, and the words "I should of" escaped my lips. She spent the next ten minutes calling me stupid and laughing at how my grammar goes to hell when I'm distressed. FML

Today, my wife is upset at me for having to remind her of her responsibilities. She dropped the ball several times in the past, and she hates that I remind her to prepare for upcoming deadlines. FML

Anger management issues, sir?

Today, I yelled at my girlfriend because I thought she'd thrown away an important form I needed to fill out. I found it a few minutes later, just stuck to the back of another piece of paper. After apologizing for getting mad, all she said was, "I'm used to it." FML

Today, my wife and I got into an argument. She ran out, yelling. Later, at work, I felt guilty, so I picked up some flowers and a card. When I presented them to her, she looked puzzled. I made the mistake of reminding her about our argument. She is now mad at me, again. FML

Today, I washed all the dishes and cups from the family dinner last night and put them away. When my wife saw, she had a mini OCD breakdown and yelled at me because the cups weren't lined up with each other with the handles aligned and the flower pictures facing out left. FML

Today, I cleaned up my dog's crap after my wife asked me. 5 minutes later she yelled at me for being lazy as she slammed the door leaving for work. My dog shit in the exact same spot apparently to make me look stupid. FML

Today, for the first time in weeks, my wife felt frisky, and we started fooling around. Half-way through undressing me, she bolted out, claiming she had the shits. About five minutes later, she tearfully called out from the bathroom, begging me to bring her a fresh roll of toilet paper. FML

Today, my wife blamed me for the washing machine breaking. When I told her it wasn’t me because I haven’t used it this week, she immediately changed direction and started blaming me for not doing enough around the house, which is utter bullshit. I know I do my share, I think she just wanted to fight. FML

Today, my wife put petrol in my diesel car and ruined the engine, I got a bit upset, but I wasn’t screaming or yelling or anything, but she flew completely off the handle at me at how I was putting all the blame on her and it wasn’t fair. I ended up apologising to her for her mistake. FML

for everyone saying "she has more problems than OCD" thats not even thinking about the wife. OCD is really hard, and its difficult once you notice something thats "wrong" to ignore it. if they talk about it and they both understand that A) the husband isnt doing it on purpose and B) OP realizes its OCD and she doesnt need to be upset at her husband, then everything should be okay. just takes patience and practice

Wow. Well, everyone makes mistakes. She just shouldn't be yelling at you and fixing it herself.

I feel like a lot of people here don't have the slightest understanding of OCD or anxiety. In some cases, things like this can cause someone severe emotional distress and anxiety attacks. Is yelling an appropriate response? No. But when your mind and body are riddled with the adrenaline from anxiety, it's extremely difficult to be reasonable. If she truly has OCD and/or anxiety issues, they should seek help, of course, but understanding and support is also important.

Does she really have OCD or is she one of those people who say it because something bothered them a little? Because there's a difference.

OCPD**

This is the second recent FML about OCD you've wrongly "corrected" to OCPD. OCPD is a very different condition, in which "sufferers" do not see what they do as irrational, and it does not cause distress. In fact, it often even brings them pleasure, and they can explain to you why what they do is a rational way to do something. It does not negatively affect their quality of life, so is the complete opposite of OCD. Op's wife snapped at him because even something as small as putting the toilet paper the wrong way, caused her distress. The very fact it caused her that anxiety proves it is NOT, as you implied, OCPD, but is indeed OCD which is in contrast a knowingly irrational, distressing illness that reduces quality of life massively. In short, you clearly do NOT know the difference, so stop trying to educate others when you have not first, educated yourself. You might even stop offending genuine sufferers with your ignorance.
