Published on December 3, 2019, a man shared his concerns about his girlfriend's messy habits, which he believes could be a deal-breaker in their relationship.
He has been dating the lady for over a year and a half, and initially, they had no issues. However, things changed when they started living together informally. While she is tidy and organized outside the house, her habits are different indoors.
The man, who describes himself as a tidy and organized person, feels worn out when he finds her bra and dirty clothes scattered around the house. He is frustrated that she is not remorseful or willing to learn and adopt his suggestions.
Despite his love for her, he is unsure if their relationship will work out in the long run. He wonders if they can compromise on cleanliness and make it work.
Some readers suggested that the couple consider not living together, as marriage is what they decide to make it, not what society expects. Others questioned whether the man's expectations are reasonable, and if he is willing to compromise on his own habits.
Ultimately, the couple needs to have an open and honest conversation about their expectations and compromise before making any decisions about their future together.
