OCD and relationship: Remember you don't have to treat the disorder, they are responsible for getting help. If you establish healthy boundaries and expectations in the relationship, your partner will know what the expectations are in their managing their symptoms. The person is more than their diagnosis, and they can manage the symptoms with meds and/or therapy
