I mean, I have my home exactly the way I want it and it is always clean.....I have seen so many married people where the homes are disgusting and unkept.....The only way I see ever getting married is if we lived in seperate homes......what say you?

I rarely invite others over either especially if they have kids!

Two different households has kept more than a few couples happily married but I ask you what would be the point in getting married if you couldn't share all of your life with that person? If they aren't there when you are hurting or just overjoyed about something what do they do? Hope they can get there before you get resentful or the moment of happiness passes? For better or worse marriage is about blending your lives not maintaining a pseudo-independence to keep things immaculate in your home.

Before you just rule out marriage, be happy you know what you want. If you like to keep a spotless home do not tie yourself to a pig. Simple as that. Even if you fall in love with someone who isnt exactly Mrs. Clean, make sure she respects and appreciates the care you put into keeping a tidy home. That way, she will follow suit. Trust me there are millions of women who would love to be with a man who knows the difference between a napkin and his sleeve. But more than anything remember marriage is about compromise. Let your hair down sometimes for the sake of your relationship. And hey, if you realize you dig being on your own ( which a lot of us do these days) by all means live it up Scrubber Boy!

I think you're slightly obsessive and you may want to look into getting some therapy.
People can occasionally be compatible on the level of cleanliness of their house; but sometimes its a matter of simple compromise...just like EVERYTHING else in marriage.
If you find you cannot live with someone because of your compulsive need to be sterile, then you probably will live a very lonely life. Because the fact of the matter is that even if you DO find someone as strict as you are, you will eventually find SOMETHING that will clash, and it sounds like the least little thing might be a deal-breaker for you.

Just find someone that is a clean freak as well. Then you can both have weekend cleaning parties!!! :) You shoud try to lighten up a little. I use to be a "clean freak" but then I met the love of my life that has a 4 yr old..... needless to say, she isnt into neat and tidy. Plus, I have better things to do with my time now then just cleaning

Eventually you will find someone who you love enough to either not care all that much or you will marry someone who is also very tidy... I am sure you will get married and live in the same home with your spouse as long as you don't let your anal ways run your life...
(Which it sounds as though you may have a form of Obsession Complusive Disorder- you may need to look into that)

I know what you mean, i love everything clean and in its place. My husband is a clutter bug. After awhile you get used to picking up after the other person, wait until you have children. That is when the mess trully gets over whelming. My daughter is 2 thank goodness she is a neat freak as well, all her clothes and toys are put away every few hours.

I guess that would depend on what is more important to you. Being a clean freak, or the woman you love. Personally, I rather be in love and married to the person I love and live in a messy house than to have perfection and be lonely.
With marriage, you have to totally give yourself to your spouse. If you aren't ready to do that, don't get married.

A quirky little neat freak is in your future. All you have to do is help with prospective wives' laundry. Then you'll know if they are neat enough. Neat freaks like to organize before, durring, and after the cleaning. They never allow the bottles to get dirty and the clothes are folded almost before they get out of the dryer. Messy people do one load, have lost the cap to the detergent, and usually get dressed in front of the dryer because that is where there clothes "belong." :-)

No way. If you ever want to get married you are either going to have to find a very special girl or get over the obsession a little. Good luck on finding that girl.

I think when you meet someone you truly love, they will respect your space and hopefully living together wont be as hard as you think. Maybe you'll meet another clean freak, or maybe this person will help you to relax about cleaning a bit. You'll know if you should get married when the time comes.
