Hi
My husband has suffered with ocd as long as I’ve known him. He was always affectionate towards me. Holding hands siting next to me etc. He was receiving CBT before our wedding last year and he was a different person. He even opened the door for himself.
COVID ruined his life and is OCD has now turned him against me. First lockdown he wouldn’t leave the house. We had to wipe all the food or anything that came into the house whilst we are in our underwear because everything was dirty. I tried to speak to him about it and he got irate saying I tried to make him change but his worries were real because of the pandemic.
we’ve been married over a year. He doesn’t kiss me hug me hold my hand nothing. I’m not allowed in the kitchen when he is. I’m not allowed to cook at the same time as him because I’m dirty. He doesn’t use the bin anymore or even the remote control and because I used them I’m dirty. His hands and wrists are red raw. If we are intimate he will have a shower as soon as we’ve finished.
I love him. But I didn’t realise how much I need affection. I’ve tried to raise the issue with him but he just snaps at me.
