His response...
I told the husband about the suspected OCD tendencies, and his totally serious response was "You didn't know?!"

NO I DID NOT.

I honestly thought I was just diligent, not, you know, compulsive.

Not that I am mad or anything - I guess I was kind of expecting him to shoot down the whole "somebody on the Internet tells you x and confirmation bias blah blah" because it happens, a lot (not to me but to others like self-proclaimed aspies and whatnot who just use it as an excuse to be a jackass but don't have any real problems a little manners wouldn't cure), and I wanted external reference that I wasn't just confirming normal behaviors in retrospect. (Um, which is also compulsive behavior.)

So is everyone else just going "Yeah, we thought you knew"? If so, somewhat amusing, yes?

Everyone else has the same reaction, it turns out. They all just thought I knew when I crossed the line from normal diligence into obsessive compulsion. And I fidget a lot too.

Not that it bothers me. I just like to be aware of these things so I can potentially control them.
