I know that the obvious thing is to just clean the place and get over it. Having a clean house is very important to me, possibly too much, in that it's a big issue. Try as I might though, I can't keep the place clean. Things pile up, I don't know where to put them so I ignore them for too long, and no matter how many trips to Ikea I make, it never seems to improve. I'm allergic to dust and even if I take antihistamine, sorting through bags or piles of stuff sets me off. I'm juggling a daughter, a new business, depression (which I'm starting to overcome), and a husband working weird hours and needing food, and the cleaning issue makes me feel worse. My husband is fed up of it (yes, understandably). He's vaguely obsessive about washing, but leaves most of the housework to me, with the exceptions of his clothes and the occasional one hour cleaning spree on his day off. He finds it hard to express affection for me and says the mess is part of the problem. What can I do?
