Fortunately , No!. Were both Neat freaks!. Ive been with Girls who were just terribly slobbish (is that a word)!. But Jade is Great!.!. well, theres one thing that pisses me off that she does!.
It's when she takes off her underwear, ive found thongs on the floor, on the bed, in the steam shower, in the tub, Thankfully only in the bedroom, if i found one in the Livingroom or Media room, or Diningroom, i might strangle her with it!. And its crazy because its only her underwear she does it with, nothing else, its gotta be subconscious with her!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Oh yeah!. My husband is a pig-his dirty clothes stay in a pile where they fell off his body and if he's home all day you can see where he ate every meal by the trail of empty dishes-not only do they not get washed, they don't even make it to the sink!
I have tried to only clean up after myself in an attempt to show him what a pig he is and perhaps get him to clean a bit but I always lose this one because the house being a wreck always gets to me much sooner than it gets to him so I wind up cleaning it anyway!Www@Enter-QA@Com

My idea of clean is lifting thins up to dust and moving furniture to vacuum and his is going around it!. Mine is taking a shower before going out and his is go out an take a shower later when we come home!. By then on a hot day I have taken by second shower and he is still not ready to!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
Yes!. He thinks "clean" is picked up, in other words my definition of picked up is his definition of clean!.
It freaks me out that he leaved his dirty laundry on the floor and, empty bottles of water on his night stand (like multiple ones)!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I wish I had a spouse who tried for neat and tidy!.
My house is a mess and it bothers me a lot!. Pretty much no one out of four people cleans anything!.
I would be the one to do it, but it just seems so hopeless!. I can tackle one task at a time I suppose and sometimes I try!.
Like maybe I should get off of Yahoo Answers and go clean something!Www@Enter-QA@Com

C F said it all, been there done that and he still won't take initiative!. Then if I *****, he gets spiteful!. "What I call dirty is only messy to him!." He actually told me this himself!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
yes!. i think the kitchen is clean when the dishes are washed and putt away and my husband thinks it is clean when he puts the dirty dishes in the sink!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
Not really, **** stinks, but his doesn't and mine does and vice versa, so my pile of laundry on the bedroom floor is dirtier than his pile on the bathroom floor!. Neither is getting any closer to the washer!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
