To be more open-minded in relationships

My OCD made me anxious and stressed in relationships, causing me to be overly critical and demanding

What I wish I knew
"To accept that my partner's imperfections are not a reflection of their love for me"
If I could tell you one thing
"Be patient and understanding with your partner, and try to find common ground in your cleanliness standards"
