In reply to Dating someone with OCD, posted by greatdane on February 5, 2006, at 14:00:58
Well, I dated someone with OCD - and even married her. I have OCD as well, however. 16 years later, we are very happily married. There are problems, though (unfortunately her physical health has severely deteriorated - but thats a different sad story).
If you care enogh about her, and are willing to spend your life with someone who has OCD - go for it. It may just take lots of time to get where you want. Time, patience, and a lot of understanding help immensely. But thats true for any marriage or relationship.
As for not liking sex - that could be a problem. Have you tried to work that out with her? I don't want to pry here.
I guess the bottom line is that its not possible to have a "normal" relationship with someone with OCD. There always will be "odd" spots or times. But who wan'ts just normal? If it works for you both and you love each other then things can work out.
