Sharing 'your' space with anybody isn't easy. Everybody likes things to be done in a certain time frame. My partner drives me insane as he has a lower 'mess tolerance' than I do.
The best piece of advice about being married I ever got was from a rather drunk bloke staying in the same hotel as me on my honeymoon; 'We don't know unless you tell us, really we don't'.
I did listen at the time and I've come to believe it's true, unless you speak up and say what's on your mind they will not know/, they don't get subtle hints or hurt looks.
I think we're pretty good at communicating. Just with starting my new school its like a clean slate for me. I want my home to feel the same way.
I think its not helped by the fact we're both quite messy, but with me it gets to a point where I go into Cleaning Frenzy... where he is quite happy to sit amongst a pile of dirty plates and socks.
