Its funny though when I got home the same guy who was so concerned about the house had left the bread open on the counter and the melba toast box out, crumbs everywhere. He was in a good mood at that point and so was I so I asked where my phone was so I could send him a mean text saying close the bread! He laughed.
My H is always lately very concerned or complaining about the house and he is actually the biggest slob I've ever met! He literally never throws stuff out, drops his clothes wherever, leaves every drawer and cabinet open, etc. When I just cleaned out his old car it probably took me about 10 hours or so and about 6 or 7 trash bags at least (and I'm talking the big lawn trash type). His new used car is getting to that condition as well. The funny thing is he told me he thinks he is a neat person, and I think he actually believes that!

The only problem I have with that is that then I think her H will just come up with some other nitpicky thing, if not the house, then homework, or something else that is not really what is bothering him. You know I've changed everything about myself as my H always said he wanted, work at least a dozen hours on the house now every week, etc. and he still finds stuff to complain about. I think the problem is not in me or what I'm doing or not doing, but in H's head. Karen
