my family can tell when i stress out or get pissed. i too am a furniture moving freak. not just the living room but every room in the house. it is a very good stress reliever. and it makes me get my frustrations out physically without running ten miles and just fuming inside my head. i have to think about where i want the furniture and the best fit in the room it Will have instead of dwelling on what i am upset about. my family hates it but knows not to get in the way when i am doing it as i would probably lash out at them instead. well good luck hope you don't feel so alone now.

my sister is exactley the same. I went to her house on saturday and her couch was beside the window, i went back on monday and it was beside her door. She said the same that she gets really bored with it. She is also always hoovering up with the least little mess.
She decided that she would leave the hoovering till after tea when her kids were finished their tea and now doesn't feel so stressed. Maybe you could still change the look of the room but wait longer before changing.
Change it once a month or if that is too long give it a change every fortnight, that might not annoy your partner as much. Or is it not that you are bored and need to do something to get out of the house more, then when you come in you may find that you are more content to leave it longer and longer.
Good luck, i know from my sister's experience that this is a bit stressful and it is not a joke.

You could have a compulsive disorder or OCD. There could be lots of strange things you do as a result of this. Try making a list of them all, then rate them from 1 - 10, 1 being the mildest and 10 being the most extreme. Then all you have to do is start to get rid of the things from you list starting at 1. you should try get rid of 1 every 1 to 2 weeks.
Hope this helps!

There's nothing wrong with you (I do it too) I tell hubby it stops excess wear on any one part of the carpet. I think the only thing that would stop us is to move house, somewhere with bigger rooms so you've got more space. I think it's that I'm cramped up, and moving the stuff about makes it look different, and as I always hope 'larger'.
Who knows, maybe we'd still do it in larger spaces too. (It not only confuses my husband, never knowing where something will be next, but the 4 cats too)

OCD is a problem when it affects relationships...and you already said your boyfriend is really pissed off...so I would suggest that you research OCD on the web...then see if you need to contact someone in your area for a support group or therapy. Catch it now before you get to be like Monk on the tv show. Did you ever see that show?? It was funny for someone that didn't have the disorder but it is NOT funny when you have the disorder. Good luck. :)

Sounds like obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). Go and see your doctor - there are drugs that can help or even counselling. It may not seem harmful to be moving the furniture all the time, but you should try and stop as you could develop other OC behaviours.

LOL.......sorry hun, nothing wrong with you, you are maybe just bored, or the furniture just dosen`t look right, no matter where you put it. I have done the same, move this, move that, till i get it right. Or maybe you just fancy a change, but quite often. Don`t worry, and ignore the answer calling you a freak, there`s always one!!!

why do you think something is wrong if it is not hurting you or anyone else or your mind so be it move your furniture all you want maybe you don't like the room or where you live??? tell your boy friend it is just what you do accept it if it really starts to interfere with your life significantly.. get help but why is our werid things we do always considered ab normal or a mental thing jeez

My mother did this for years and years.
I think she did it because she didn't have much control over anything else (money problems) but she had control over the furniture.
My dad would come home from work many nights and bump into a piece of furniture that wasn't there that morning. LOL
