Can people with OCD have successful relationships?

.Or will they drive everyone they love away because they don't understand them?

Answer:
I think that people with OCD can have healthy relationships as can anyone with any type of disorder. it depends n who u hang out with....
I really think that varies from case to case, but it is possible for people with OCD to form healthy relationships.
Having a successful relationship is not only in your hands but also who is with you. So it is nothing to do with OCD but the fact of having the right person is more important.
If switching relationships is itself an OCD in an individual, then the answer is no.
If not, then it depends on the partners understanding and in many cases OCDs can be overcome by the joint effort of the partner and the individual having ocd.
There are medications for OCD.
Yes but I depends on the severity of your OCD. You may count and let your partner learn well in advance about that. If your obsessions go beyond counting and take entirely too much time or change too suddenly, then you might want to seek medical help and start trying to find a mild anxiety drug that will stop your OCD. Sometimes it takes several attempts to find the right drug, but it's worth doing. OCD is controlled with anxiety medications on the whole. They will learn much more about it, but we were all hit with a general nervous condition on 9/11 and there are many people that are what I call "out of kilter" too soon for enough methods of treatment to be found that specifically address that. You can communicate your need for considerations and those who care will accept you as though your nerves are bad. No need for paranoia. Peace and Much Good Luck!
Possibly and very clean hands too.
