My husband has OCPD. He always said he had OCD tendencies and we'd laugh about it, but yesterday his OCPD got the best of me and I researched and took direct quotes from health news sites etc. I emailed him the quotes and told him that we (his family) love him and will be there for him, but that he is making me crazy!! He laughed about the email and agreed that the sites describe him perfectly and apologized for his disorder. He also acknowledged that he might need help at times reminding him what the appropriate course of action for a 'normal' person would be. Fingers crossed that we can redirect his perfectionism and other annoying traits for the common good, rather than detriment!
