Dear Mary: I'm sick of tidying up after my messy wife but when I confront her, she threatens divorce
"My wife is an amazing, caring, kind person. She is a deeply committed mother to our three children, as well as being an incredibly generous, pleasant and warm person. When people meet her, they like her. She has that effect. Of course, there is a 'but', otherwise, why would I be writing to you? The 'but' is that she is very untidy and this is causing us big problems."
"Clothes are left on the bedroom floor every day. Her things are never put away; they are always left on the ground or thrown somewhere. These are just some of the issues. There are a lot of small things that add up to an incredibly cluttered, messy house. I am quite embarrassed when we have people around as a result."
A wife is described as amazing, caring and kind, deeply committed to mothering three children and generous, pleasant and warm in social interactions. Despite these strengths, chronic untidiness creates significant household conflict. Clothes are left on the bedroom floor daily and personal items are routinely not put away, frequently left on the ground or thrown somewhere. Many small habits accumulate into an exceedingly cluttered and messy house. The household clutter causes embarrassment when hosting visitors and contributes to ongoing domestic problems. The contrast between her interpersonal warmth and the persistent disorder intensifies household tension. The situation is a recurring source of strain for the family.
