This is a vent about flashlights. My dh is OCD. He gets fixations on "things" and one is flashlights. He has no LESS than 15 flashlights, and they are ALL that fancy metal type, WITH little cloth holders; each one has it's own holder and the flashlights are of various sizes, shapes and colors.Today he looked in a specific spot for a specific flashlight and the holder was there, but not the flashlight. OMGWell, you would have thought the sky had fallen! The first 15 years we were married, his griping and grumbling tantrum about "his" flashlight would have sent me scurrying around looking for the [email protected] flashlight in order to STOP his fussing and fuming. Anymore I justand casually start opening drawers and cabinets because I know for certain I will find another one.He stores them all over the house like a freaking squirrel hiding nuts! I told him today, there are a dozen in this house....he says: "BUT I want THAT one...it BELONGS in THAT spot...".I wish I had the money for all the things he has bought that he is obsessed with. One type flashlight had HALOGEN and non-halogen; I mean this flashlight was small, but it would burn out your eyeballs if someone pointed it at your eyes.Well, dh had gotten into bed one night and turned off the lights. I was in the bath brushing my teeth, heading to bed, I opened the bath door, shut off the bath light, and dh flips on this freaking flash light and shines it in my eyes, and says "Isn't it cool?". He had taken it to bed with him.He did this for nearly two weeks, he would take it to bed and play with it, "on-off, on-off".He would drive me nuts if I let him....he had it under the covers playing with it, and asked me if it was bright enough to see it through the comforter.Flashlights. It isn't as IF we live in the woods or on some dark end street or on some farm where we need flashlights galore. It isn't as if he is a hunter and camper and needs them. He just buys them.Oh, life with an obsessed man.
