I love him to pieces but he drives me nuts sometimes

He sounds like any typical guy. LOL. That is why I probably won't get married. Guys are really like that. They don't care about anything.

Lol Gissi can drive me crazy at times and I love him to bits but sometimes he can be a little Devil, My Man and I do not live together so he does not get the chance to drive me crazy lol but I know I can drive him crazy at times but in a good way lol

My husband knows better than to leave a major mess. I am not going to clean up after him, nor does he clean after me, nor am I just going to let things sit either. The kitchen is his domain, because I can't stand cooking and am lousy at it, whereas he loves it and is a great cook. He uses it, he cleans it, as do I when I use something.

and why do you suppose I don't have one of those?

I can understand where your coming from completely hun! When my hubby came to move in with me about a year and a half before we got married he drove me nuts with his "packing". So I would ask him the 20 questions and we slowly went through each item piece by piece BUT it worked and he ended up getting rid of 3/4 of his "important stuff". Later he realized that he became a pack rat because his mum was one and sometimes your choices as an adult are based on what you saw growing up. I am happy he realized he had a problem hanging on to junk, I am happy he realized he needed to get rid of it, and I am happy we are in a clutter free home ... especially with a 3 year old, a 5 month old and a small living space. I can't wait till we move! Hopefully the new place will be bigger and it will have a nice fenced backyard for the girls and the dog to play out back!

Hey, I think there is a problem or disorder where people collect alot of objects. I mean, you can be the one to decide whether its excessive or not, but it can be truly hard for some people to get rid of things which have long outlived their purpose, or which may have no use in the upcoming future but they still believe they may use it, or that so many things have sentimental value to them. Admittedly, I have had a similar problem, and it takes a lot of understanding on part that it is an actual problem keeping too much stuff, a problem that the keeper usually doesn't see. Even if they do actually know its still a hard habit to kick. I think you should make him responsible for his own mess though, if he makes a mess of the kitchen, which is a shared area, he needs to clean it, you shouldn't clean it for him, because then he can't learn how to return things to order.

One man's rubbish is another's treasured possession. What made you think you could chuck out his things? Whoooa there! Bad move! No, chuck out your own stuff first and then say for him to do the same with his kit. I have a house full of junk and I am trying to clean out the kids junk now that they have their own houses. But NO! 'I can't throw that out Daddy!' and 'I need that!' Hopeless. haha

YES, it's true that some guys change after married. If they never change their love for you. then I think that's what we should be blessed with. Some awful situations disturb our life from time to time, but we are lucky that we have someone together to handle them. That's enough. So as long as you love each other, nothing's gonna make your life difficult. Try to make contributions and everything will be alright!

I can not even begin to say how much I love my husband, but INDEED, HE DOES DRIVE ME NUTS! I understand that the woman is thought of as the housekeeper. I was sort of brought up this way in a sense. I can see that. In the modern day, however, you have to consider what the husband does. Within the past year, around in my area, a lot of men were without jobs because most of the jobs around here were construction and with the economy the way it was, construction came to a screeching halt. So, here I was, going to work and school and was expected to clean house, while he laid at home doing NOTHING. He would go visit his parents. He would go visit my parents. Even while work had started to pick back up, he would just stay at home and do nothing. He WOULD NOT clean. He WOULD NOT pick up after himself. Every once in a while I would break down and cry, and he would clean for a day or so, but then it was back to the way it was. Finally, I had to break it to him what was going through my mind. I told him that I had enough. Either he gets a job, or starts keeping house. The other option was to pack his bags and leave. I knew that I deserved better and that I was being taking advantage of. That crap was going to work with me. So, he went the next week and started his new job. Then, I told him that I was tired of working and going to college and keeping house, so currently, I am unemployed and going to school. I also try to keep house the best way possible. Still, to this day, he drives me insane at how much he is against cleaning. Sometimes I just want let it all go. We would see then how much he liked living in filth.

I admit I am the clutterer at home but I'm getting a lot better with it now I recognise it for what it is - a form of OCD linked to anxiety and depression. Perhaps you should ask him to wash up every time you have dinner so that he is a bit more appreciative. I never want other people to cook for me in my kitchen if I'm having to clean it up, if people want to do something for me I'll cook and they can wash up!

Yes, sometimes, this happens to me. I have this really great person, but then they end up driving me nuts because they keep doing things wrong. But what can we do? We can only assist them. Telling them straight out won't help them, because it will make them feel stupid. We can only help them. It's really annoying as well, if one of these loved ones is in your class. Loved ones doesn't have to be family, it could be good friends. Math especially, drives me nuts because when people don't understand the concepts it really bothers me having to explain it 3 times.
