I've been married for 18 years to someone with OCD and her desire to control me and everything around us seems to be worse than ever lately. I'm tired of walking on eggshells and the constant criticism since its never good enough, clean enough, or whatever enough for her.
I'm about to leave her since I haven't been able to find any answers and she doesn't seem interested in changing her behavior.
Two molecules to you probably look like two gigantic continents to some other people. I'd get a 3rd opinion especially if she doesn't have a diagnosis of OCD.

Has your wife formally been diagnosed with OCD? How does it manifest itself?

My husband can talk about the exact same thing 16 hours a day - 7 days a week. He still talks DAILY about something that happened five years ago, as though I had no idea that it occurred. We can have a conversation, go to sleep and the SECOND he wakes up, he starts the conversation right where he left off the night before and that is all he talks about that day, and the day after and the day after.
Sometimes I want to scream. But I figure there are worse things.

sorry to hear that, it's not easy to deal with those people. They drain your spirit. Just be aware that you WILL NEVER change her. She can't help being who she is. So either accept your fate or get divorced.

I think he said she is over critical.
