I've recently moved into a new apartment with DH and our 3 DCs.
We never had people round in our old place because it was simply too small for us let alone guests. Now we've moved and my DM, DF, Uncle and a mum friend with her four children have separately invited themselves round/asked when they can visit and I don't really have any excuse for why they can't.
The idea of people being here makes me so uncomfortable. I hate hate hate people using my toilet, especially as I know DM never washes her hands, the smell of people's lingering perfume, their germs everywhere, DF is always covered in cat hair and it'll be on my sofa etc I just can't stand it. My home is my safe space and I like it just us.
I know I sound insane. I previously struggled with OCD and had therapy and medication for it. I'm not a clean freak, I have 3DC, our place is often messy and dirty so I don't know why I feel like this about other people. I am very sociable outside our home.
DC are too small to have friends round but I'd be fine with that
Please tell me I'm not alone or do I need therapy?
