When I had a family meeting this fall to ask for support (permission?) from my family to train for an IM, my husband took two days to answer, but ended up supporting me, but saying because he knew that now that our house was finished being built and our business was solid I would "be OCD about something, and this was probably the best thing for [me] to get crazy about".
Um, yeah. Probably.
So, it made me think that most of us have OCD tendencies, as well as some others, and I'm curious about the groups'. If this has already been done, I apologize for the repeat.
