Obsessed Wife

Thanks to Erasmo Cortez

My wife can get obsessive over things. Sometimes I think she is normal, but other times I think she has a severe form of obsessive-compulsive disorder. She fixates on one thing, and can’t get her mind off of it. Last month, her obsession was our daughter’s diet. She wanted to make sure that she was getting near perfect nutrition, and started going nuts. She spent a lot of time shopping and cooking, and it was all she talked about. I think our daughter’s health is important, but I also think she should be allowed to be a kid without worrying about it. This month, her new fixation is home security. She is convinced that we need a new home alarm system and a video surveillance system. I am willing to get the alarm, because it isn’t a bad idea, but I think the outdoor cameras might be going a little too far. They are expensive, and I’m not sure we would get much value out of them. I’m hoping that after a few weeks of resistance, she will move on to her next obsession. I can only hope that this time it’s basketball or outdoor grilling!
