I do my part to keep the joint clean for all the women commenting to help! I'm the only one that does anything. Seriously to the point I even said I may move out because it drives me nuts. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 3800260 When mine quit cleaning it was just a few years before she took off and left the kids and I...I even hired a housekeeper to clean around her...she still works for me too :) Nuke the Muzzies!

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 7525062 12/21/2011 10:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | can't keep anything clean,shit laying everywhere,dishes stacked up,clothes piled up. fuck! Ask her to get some shit done and she gets mad. Anyone else in my shoes? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 3800260 You're only looking at a symptom of a deeper problem. Her sloppiness is probably a low self esteem image she has of herself, and may have been brought about by poor parenting in her childhood. Also, if your behavior is unsupportive (i.e. frequently critical) its only reinforcing her behavior. Go see a marriage counselor. |

She also has enough shit to open a frickin thrift store and no where to put it but the basement and who gets to haul all the shit down there ding ding me. I always look forward to a holiday because we have a clean house for a few days. I don't think it's serious enough to want a divorce, I really love her and would not let this end our marriage. I told her we are just opposite that way and would be nice if it could just "click" in her head yeah we are livin in a messy shit hole I should do more... |

If you cant afford it which may give the game away then up the ante and have the maid bend over and that saying that she loves cleaning for just food and warmth from her new master. She will soon get the fabreeze out |

| Little Miss Sunshine User ID: 4397658 12/21/2011 11:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | When did you quit treating her like she was the best thing that ever happened to you? When did you quit listening to her. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 7235845 When did you quit asking for a beer the next time she got up instead of "Bitch! Gimme a beer!" When did you let her fall off the pedestal you put her on before you got married? It ain't all her fault. When was the last time you talked to her like a friend? Last time you turned on the vacuum cleaner? Did the dishes or started the laundry. Bought her a rose? Thanked her for being your wife and friend? All you have to do is make an effort. She would probably finish the chore because men can do anything right. It's the effort that says the most. If you don't make an effort, neither will she. I've been married for almost 30 years. Still my best friend, still on the pedestal, still have a clean house...mostly. Clutter, 30 years of amassing stuff, from friends, dead relatives, neighbors moving, yardsales... only a dollar, honey!! Yeah... lots of clutter... but clean...and comfortable. Seriously, quit taking her for granted. Make an attempt to fall in love again with the girl you married. Might take some work, might be difficult, but I can almost guarantee some success if you are sincere. You didn't call her "fat". That's means you have a good head start. Shave before bed, suck in the gut, stop fartin' & scratchin' & burpin' in front of her. Show some class and she will follow. If she has nice hair and hasn't had a style lately, spring for it and make her an appointment at her favorite salon or take to the one she always wanted to go to but wouldn't because of the price... it's Xmas FFS! Make her think and feel she's pretty again. Don't necessarily lie about it, but consider it as detailing an older car. Make it look good then work on the running gear. As long as it don't smoke, smell funny or leave an oil slick where it sits, there's hope. HELL TO THE YES!!! You HAD to be the fly on my wall for the last 4 years! Exactly the same stuff I tell my husband! (My house is spotlessBTW) HE was just born an asshole and grew bigger!! |

She might see you as an understanding friend and do more for you. As the old saying goes, "You catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar." Quoting: Annie1011 Have you got kids? Maybe she's exhausted after running around after them? Just speculating. This... cue Otis Redding, "Try a Little Tenderness..." |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 3800260 If you are both working....get a cleaner in once a week or fortnight. It only takes 2 hours maximum to vacuum, mop, clean dishes, pop clothes in the washing machine, change the beds, swipe the bathroom, dust the surfaces.....and cleaners do it cheaper than a weeks worth of cable TV or one night out at a restaurant.

One big problem is space because we don't have a lot of room. I like the dumpster idea, theres actually one in the back yard now haha. I don't see it ever changing so prob will just be quiet about it and act like I live alone and see if she notices. Or just have friends over every weekend then it will have to be clean... |

What changed? (except your attitude) Anyway, here's thoughts: - read Karen Kingston's "Clear your Clutter" and leave it lying around afterward - change in diet. Mess = wildly expansive. Needs consolidating. Back off sugar, alcohol, milk products Your fridge is probably offerstuffed with alls sorts of foods from different timelines. - divorce Best |

| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 3800260 12/22/2011 11:01 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Actually she just started eating organic and all that fun stuff. I tried that as well but then took my balls back from her and went and got a huge burger to end that noise! She was messy before we got married so I guess it was my fault not clearing this shit up first. Now the car that's a whole new thread because whatever car she drives is the exact same- a disaster! |
| PatiencePlz Seeker User ID: 5465453 12/22/2011 11:02 AM ![]() Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am in the same position, my live in girlfriend of ten years (same as a wife) is not very tidy at all. She is like a pack rat with all her nick knack bullshit and clothes piled up. I tell her to please do something about her shit and she gets mad. Finally I get pissed off and throw all her bullshit in the spare bedroom...that room looks like a room from that show hoarders. I'm really getting tired of this ,if you look around the house you hardly see any of my stuff laying around. It's really putting a strain on our relationship and I am embarrassed to have friends over. It really sucks,especially when I walk into friends homes and their houses are neat as a pin. One day I am going to get a dumpster and just get rid of all her unnecessary bullshit. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 5767884 I hate clutter and a messy house. But as for your girlfriend, I do not know what could be wrong but a number of things could keep her from cleaning up besides being lazy; exhaustion, depression, being bipolar. Maybe you should try something simple like talk to her and see if she feels like she is out of energy???? |
