I understand this, too ~ my fiance is a neat-freak. I feel it borders on obsessive-compulsive. Not only himself, but every nook & cranny of the house has to be immaculate before we can go anywhere, so it will be all neat & pretty upon coming home.
On one hand - I should *TOTALLY* appreciate him cleaning the house, doing the laundry - doing everything. On the other hand, it borders on pure guilt if I leave a cup on the end table, when he has made the "Im starting the dishwasher, bring the dishes in NOW" call.
"Didnt you hear me say I ws starting the dishwasher??!?!?"
Yes Dad - sorry...how long am I grounded for?
