I keep doing the same cleaning, scrubbing, ironing, de-cluttering over and over again while my husband keeps piling up mails, throwing wet towels on the bed, leaving the bathroom floor wet after the shower, leaving coffee cups on the couch etcccccccc....
I tried Steve's idea of minding my own business without asking him to do anything for about 4 months and now I am really getting frustrated and I am unable to function normally.
I have tried talking to him several times but he just doesn't get the seriousness. I work from home and may be he thinks that I have all the time in the world to do my cleaning stuff. I need help...
HELP! |
I can relate cupacafe. I to work from home and my boyfriend is quite messy. I feel resentful sometimes towards his lack of effort in keeping our home neat and orderly. Honestly this was a huge factor in my relationship with my ex-husband. The resentment grew and grew until one day I said I can't take it anymore and left.
One of my friends suggested the FlyLady system to me over six years ago. At first I thought the whole thing was kind of hokey, how is *this* going to help me get my home organized and keep it that way. Surprisingly the results are amazing. I'm less stressed overall and I feel much more on top of the housework. It's worth checking out if you haven't done so already.
Good Luck
