I have been dating someone that told me she has OCD. After about 5 or 6 weeks I noticed a big difference in our relationship. She didn't want me to touch her and she definitely didn't want me to kiss her. I took it as though she saw something in me that she didn't like. But she was always asking me to come over. It seems like she wanted to be around me but didn't want to get to close. Well...one day while we were sitting on the couch I ask her what was wrong. She said, "Nothing". When I explained to her the difference I had noticed in her the last few weeks when we were close...she just froze. She finally said that it was the stress she had been under. Now 3 months have passed and after several deep discussions she has told me that she doesn't like to kiss or be touched. When I looked up information on the internet about OCD I happened to see OCPD beside it. So I clicked on it to see if there were any thing alike. When I read the symptoms for OCPD I was floored. It was her to a Tee. She only see's her family physician for her OCD. She doesn't take any meds. She smokes pot to relax her on the weekends. How can I help this person that I have fell in love with. How can I be a positive figure in her life? She is not the same person I fell in love with. If I could help her in anyway I would. Even if I had to leave the relationship. Please can someone give me some advice? JH
