OCD doesn't stay contained to one person — it moves into the relationship and starts setting the rules. In this episode, we unpack how OCD shows up between partners, what it actually means to "own" your OCD instead of outsourcing it to the people who love you, and how partners can offer real support without slipping into accommodation. We get specific about the line between validating a need and reinforcing a compulsion — because sometimes the most loving thing isn't more reassurance, it's a boundary.
