Hi, everybody. Our 26yr. old son, who has severe ocd, fears nobody will want him with his ocd. He is a very handsome young man, and most of all he is the most caring and kindest person you would ever want to meet. I always tell him, whoever he marries will be very lucky, before his ocd became severe in 1999, he had girls that wanted to go out with him, but they were on the wild side, and he's just not like that. Any body else that worries about this. Thanks so much. Take care everybody.

hi...I have a boyfriend who has OCD. OCD is just one part of who someone is. I met him when we were 17 and 18. and we have been together for 6 years. my boyfriend is loving, kind, sweet, understanding, extremely bright, open-minded...OH and he happens to have OCD...which means that there are lists around the house, he has negative thoughts, it takes us some extra time to leave the house becaues everything has to be checked but you know what...I Have problems, wierd habits strange things too! there will be someone with patience who will see all of the positive aspects about your son...and that's the kind of person you want for him anyway! i would think.
all i know is that everyone has issues and he need not worry.

I always think when my OCD is bad, it's bothering my boyfriend as much as it is me. But then, he reminds me, that the fear and panic I am experiencing he is not feeling at all. I think your son will find the right person.

Maybe he can find a girl with ocd...not being a jerk, but think about it...if you find someone who is suffering as you are than its easy to relate and connect, and not feel so vulnerable.

i worry no one will want me ,with all my faults, i dnt suffer as bad as i have done,but i am now very nervous,and worry that my ocd will come back as quickly as it went...think im not good enough for anyone,and explaining my problems will just scare ppl away....

When that right person comes along for you , you will know it. They will accept you for whom you are and with what you have. They wont run you or your illnesses into the ground and they will feel lucky they found you too..

So all of you that have ocd of any kind don't think no one will want you as their is someone out their that will...

You never know if the person that has their eye on you has ocd too. COnnect, talk and find out...

I did and well my hubby has hand washing ocd and i have many and yes ppl with the same things wrong with you as them doen'st bother them either...

I have a son not with ocd but he is so shy i don't think he will ever find anyone either he is headed towards the 30 mark and at this time he said he is happy with his cat and him...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
