MY HUSBAND GOES OUT TO SNOW BLOW.IT IS SO COLD.HE WILL NOT COME IN UNTIL EVERY BIT OF SNOW IS CLEARED .I MEAN EVERY BIT. HE BLOWS AND THEN HE SHOVELS. THE OTHER PEOPLE ON OUR STREET HAVE BEEN OUT AND DONE IT AND GONE IN AND HE IS STILL OUT THERE.IF A BIT OF SNOW FALLS FROM THE BANK , HE WILL SHOVEL IT BACK UP. RIGHT NOW HE IS THE ONLY PERSON I SEE OUT AND IT IS SNOWING LIKE CRAZY. SO HE STILL IS SHOVELLING. THIS GETS RIGHT ON MY NERVES. COULD THIS BE SOME FORM OF OCD. BY THE WAY HE IS A PERFECTIONIST. VERY OLD FASHIONED. NOT WILLING TO TRY NEW THINGS THAT MAKE LIFE EASY.:confused:

What you describe definately has the feel of OCD to it. But I guess my question would be the same as Hayleysamantha's. Also, does he have any similar habits, such as excessive handwashing, etc? If its just the snow, you could always move down south...its been in the high 60's in Georgia this week!

Hi: Yes, he is worse in winter. But in summer he is particular about the yard too.
Spends hours on it and it does not look any better than any one elses...
This man is 63. He spends hours trimming a hedge on our property too...It is a cedar one so it could just grow high and look fine...
His life is all about order. Everything has to be in order. I know this a bit OCD...Just have to live with it I guess...

Yeah, definately sounds like OCD. You should look into behavior with response prevention...just try googling it.
