Sometimes, being the one to describe it to one's spouse is not effective. If you have educational materials on obsessive-compulsive disorder, ask your spouse to read them. If your doctor could discuss it with your spouse, that could help. If this is not possible, discussing it with someone else who has lived with a person with OCD, could help. Another option is to write in a journal about your OCD, expressing your feelings, and sharing that (leaving the room while your spouse reads it), since it can be too easy to get emotional about it when speaking.

Is ignoring someone while watching a movie a symptom of OCD?
Not necessarily. I have OCD, but Itry to ignore my spouse because he insists on saying goofy things about the movie/tv show while it is playing - not because I'm obsessed with what I'm watching. On the other hand, being able to focus only on the movie to the exclusion of conversation with others could be a sign of OCD. Either that or it's just terribly rude on the part of the person watching the show.
