    I have lost significant others to this problem, ...

    There's your answer.


    I am not gonna live in a house uncomfortable or constantly picking up after an ADULT that can do it themselves. I am sure there is way more than two women out there that find this annoying that would love it. So not worried about it.

    Guess they weren't very significant then. Your "other" is your choice. And by looking at the other responses here I'd say you have plenty of suitable options.

    I agree. Though some(like me) may not LIKE cleaning....i certainly am not going to make someone else pick up my mess. I may not do it right away(with certain things) but i will. Children have to be picked up after...Adults should NOT!

    Are you kidding me? Having someone clean up around the house would be a dream come true. I'm a bit OCD with such places like my room and bathroom... places that are souly my own. But if I had my own place everything would be cleaned up. I love things looking nice and livable. Also, makes stuff SO EASY to find. If someone was there to wipe stuff down with some windex or pledge, and I put everything away nicely. I'd be psyched about that set up. Just me though.

    I believe that a clean house is vital for being healthy and happy. You should maintain a clean house to where you can set things down and know it isn't dirty, bugs aren't coming in to eat your crumbs, and the animals are well maintained. You need to balance it though by allowing things to get used and misplaced but put away when done using. I don't believe a house should look unlived in but should be thoroughly cleaned. Toilets cleaned, food picked up and stored correctly, dishes/laundry done, furniture tidy, carpets vacuumed and floors swept. This should be basic necessities for anyone to be happy... OCD to me would be freaking out over a spec of dust or a semi messy kitchen after a big dinner. That's intolerable because you are limiting yourself from having a regular life by letting the OCD control you. So yeah... need balance.

    It appears to be less about cleaniness and more about control.

    Yeah, it is pretty annoying. If having a spotless house is your main concern, then you obviously have more time on your hands than you know what to do with. I wouldn't want to go to someones house that I feel will have to scrub the walls if I touch them after I leave. I would rather do something I really enjoy than scrubbing the floor trim all the time.

    I wish I had a little bit of what you have.
    Seriously though, I believe this is or could develop into Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Where you won't shake hands or use public facilities, including taxis and things like that.

    I have heard there are treatments and maybe medications.

    The comedian Howie Mandel suffers from this.

    My boyfriend is too messy and it really pisses me off because he'll throw trash and clothes on the floor when a bin and clothes basket are 1-3 feet away. I think your cleaning habits are awesome!

    It makes a women feel incompetant when a guy cleans. So don't clean when your girlfriend is around help her certainly but don't go overboard or complain. In my hindu culture guys are not supposed to do anything except bring home the doe. My X used to stop helping me when we had guests. Who cares anyway

    You just need to find someone like you. It looks as though a lot of ladies on this board would really appreciate your cleanliness ethic. But if you have kids, the game changes. You need to ask yourself what really matters. A perfectly clean home or a comfortable, happy home. Children who feel that they constantly fail to please their dad will not have happy lives.

    You sound like my kind of man!!! I live in a male dominated household and I wish they were all like you. Seriously though, CLEAN is good...I am and have always been extremely houseproud...to the point that I have to stop myself from cleaning other people's houses when I go in them! Clean home, clean mind, clear conscience...thats my motto.

    If it is affecting your relationships, and you say it is, it is a problem. I agree with some of the others--take a serious look at OCD. This is not insignificant.
