  1. Quite scared and frightened tonight. We had a row about stupid stuff and I mentioned some things he's said to me in the past - he flat-out denied ever saying them. He does this a lot. He denies saying/doing things he HAS done, even when other people remember them. I worry that he's trying to make me feel paranoid or crazy. Don't know how much more of this I can take before I really do go crazy!
  2. Thanks Bluelion. Having a horrible weekend. He's insisting on making the bed the way HE likes it because I don't do it properly. He's stomping around in a huff and I'm downstairs on my own; he went out to his parents' earlier and when he came back, went upstairs to do his OCD exercises. Know I shouldn't be complaining but I feel like I've been on my own all night. I'm absolutely exhausted right now. He keeps telling me what to do and I've had to ask him pretty much every day this week not to be so nasty when he speaks to me. He did it in front of my parents earlier this week and I was so embarrassed. Wish I could just disappear somewhere quiet on my own for a few weeks.
  3. I asked him if I could come to a session with him like you suggested - he wasn't keen initially, but has agreed. He's seeing the therapist next week and is going to ask if I can come along and find out more about it. I concur with your advice to Georgilou, too. X
  4. Georgilou, If he's kicking you out whenever you stand up to him, you need to question whether this is a relationship you want to be in. Do you have somewhere you could go and stay for a few weeks to give yourself some respite? He shouldn't be doing things like that to you.
  5. Thanks Carol, that's a brilliant idea. I'll ask him today if it would be possible to go along to a session. As for the exercises, I don't know if he's doing them - he won't tell me what they are and he doesn't want me to ask. He's still doing his coping mechanisms as far as I can see, though - things like putting his foot in and out of a door frame. If he does it when we're at his parents', his dad tells him to stop it and he's said that helps 'snap him out of it', but if I try that, he yells at me! Thanks again for replying and for your advice. It's much appreciated.
  6. Hello, I'm new to the site. I joined because it's 1:30am and I'm sleeping on the sofa because my boyfriend and I have had a row over his OCD behaviours. He's currently having CBT but I feel like his obsessions have become more random lately; the slightest thing I do seems to set them off. I've tried letting him follow his compulsions and tried telling him to stop, but when I do the latter, he gets angry and quite nasty with me - "don't tell me what to do", that sort of thing. He told me at the start of his therapy that he wasn't prepared to discuss his CBT with me, and that he didn't want me to ask about it. However, on a few occasions, he has told me what his treatment entails and what exercises he needs to do. I feel like he's being very manipulative with me in withholding information when he feels like it, and I honestly don't know if this is part of his OCD or another aspect of his personality. I'm due to start stage 3 CBT myself soon to treat ongoing anxiety and he is sometimes less than sympathetic. I find myself in tears a lot of the time because I don't know how to support him and he won't talk to me about it. Does anyone have any advice? I really do feel very desperate and alone right now.
