what do you do when you are a neat freak and a significant other is a slob?

Question

I like things neat and tidy and they are chaos. how can we blend our two very different personalities in a peaceful manner?

Answer 1

Try to appreciate each others differences and even sometimes laugh about them. that's what me and my husband do . we accept each others originality and our uniqueness. you can do it, trust me. don't be to hard on each other.

Answer 2

Talk about it and compromise. Just let the person know how you feel but sweetly. Now if the other person that is a slob owns the place there is not much you can really say. But if is your place you have every right to say something.
