Could my DH have OCD?

I have mentioned it to him before but he completely denied it. His mum is super clean (from childhood traumas) and his brother is meant to be an absolute nightmare both girlfriends left him because they couldn’t cope.

DH doesn’t like people using his things will sit and watch you until your finished using it.
My mum planted flowers in our garden he stood and watched her the whole time.
If I borrow his jacket he goes mad.
Kid uniform if it has a spec of dirt on it straight in the wash.
if I go in his drawer to get something he knows I’ve been in there.
He’s never happy always moaning about things always stressed.

However some things don’t bother him like real actual dirt so I’m just trying to figure out what it could be.

Being very neat and tidy is not OCD. I'm not saying he hasn't got it or any other mental illness but what you have put above doesn't really suggest OCD.

There are many forms of ocd - it’s not just dirt/clean.

If it’s controlling his life, it’s OCD
