try not to imagine what he will do in reaction to your taking action with things that are bothering you... I'm sure he'd rather you get rid of the mess that is causing you resentment rather than leaving it there and harboring ill feelings toward him for it not being cleaned. I could easily sit and wait for h to get around to something that isn't bothering him but is grating on my nerves...or I could take action because I want it done and if by chance he were to say...why are you doing that...I said I would take care of it...I'd try to simply say I had the time and just wanted to get it started. If he then chose to help fine, if not..well then what was bothering me got done.
sharing a home can lead to many "problems" when things are expected to be taken care of by one or the other but the lines aren't clear...if it seems that the basement doesn't bother cj then perhaps keeping it clear of bottles shouldn't be his "job" but something that is more significant to him should be.
