Wait……did this man actually just make me gain an ounce of respect for him by saying that?! 😂

    I’m diagnosed with severe ocd and my knee-jerk reaction was to say I can’t see it in him and he’s just an arsehole but honestly? I know a guy with it untreated and he really controls his wife. Totally takes over their life. So you might not be wrong.

    I think I lean more towards he has a fake/bimbo thing and wants to be like the couples who are living dolls and end up on Botched. That she’s an exact representation of him and his power. Like she’s a project. Either way, it’s fucking obsessive to an unhealthy degree.

      My dad had severe ocd and controlled every aspect of our lives. He happened to also be an asshole but I always wondered what it would have been like had he treated that. That’s kind of what I see in Sarper. But I definitely agree that the asshole stuff is NOT ocd, Just co-occurring.

        I’m so sorry you went through that, I can only imagine the emotional minefield. I think the high anxiety of ocd can really bring out the worst.

        I find Sarper funny but when you think of the intensity it’s not so funny. What happens when his doll has periods and water weight?!

          Or… gasp! A baby?!

          Thank you, it was a difficult childhood and I’m a pretty happy adult as a result. Anything is better than it was there so adulthood seems easy lol
