I Was Just Thinking

My boyfriend compulsively cleans the entire apartment all day everyday. He likes to come up with excuses for cleaning, saying I made something a mess, or whatever. But the truth is, he cleans because it's an obsession. He cleans things that don't need to be cleaned. He walks around the apartment looking for tiny crumbs or little spots to clean. I'm all for cleanliness, but hawking over people while they eat, to see if any crumbs fall off their plate is bananas. He investigates every area I leave to see if there's something he can clean. Even is there's not, he'll still scrub at imaginary things. As you can imagine, our apartment is spotless, which is nice, but I low key feel sorry for him. Just thinking how his mind is torturing him making him do all this compulsive cleaning. If a drop of water lands anywhere other than the sink, he freaks out. Imagine being that obsessive. Must be hard to live and enjoy life.

Does he have a day job, just to get away from home?

Oh yeah, he has a full time job. Anytime he's not there, he's here. Gives him a lot of time to tend to his compulsions. @SW-User

@originalGOS Omg, it's good that he cleans the house, but when it becomes an OC thing....I can just imagine how irritating that is. 😔

@originalGOS what's he like at his job? Does he drive his
co-workers nuts, or does he save it all for home?
