Yes I did...
But, it came with a price tag attached...

To: joe fonebone

I dated a guy once who was always late for our dates. I find that incredibly RUDE to begin with, but turns out he had OCD and couldn’t leave his house without UNPLUGGING every appliance, lamp, radio, TV, etc. and going through elaborate rituals ‘checking’ things. Also, no newspaper ever left his home, but he had them neatly stacked and bundled by DATE in his basement!

He’d also only take me to ONE restaurant and always order the exact same thing. If we ate at his house, it was always steamed shrimp and rice. I don’t know how he was able to even make it through a meal at my house, but he really tried, I guess.

It took me a while, but I dodged that particular bullet! I was sympathetic, but I could not see living that way, myself, or enabling that behavior/mental illness any further.

Surprisingly, he was very successful in his career. Maybe he let his guard down, thinking I would accept this behavior? Who knows?
