I agree... my FH can be the exact same way... he just doens't see things the same way I do... I see that the laundry needs to be done and the floor needs a sweep and he just doesn't see it at all...

For me... a mess really bothers me and I am not going to just leave it for him... if it sits there for 3 days and he doesn't touch it even when I have mentioned it... ARGH... I get upset... and even tho he doesn't mean to hurt me or upset me... he just doens't think that it is that important... I like my house clean so leaving stuff laying around is not kool!  And I don't want to nag at him to pick it up... I am not his mother and I don't want to act like it... But man sometimes I see no other way to get him to do the stuff then to point it out...

Sometimes they just don't get it... just gotta sit em down and lay it out....
