To say in advance, this might sound a little OCD.  DH opens the shower curtain the opposite way than I do, so that it has to go over the little hump on the bar when I put it back the other way and has ripped several shower curtains in the process which really used to tick me off(I do have to get up very early also), so now DH has a post-it above the shower instructing himself on how to open the shower curtain.  We also had a problem forever with him wanting the tv on all night and I need complete quiet and darkness since I have major insomnia as it is.  DH now listens to audio books on his Ipod at night with earphones.  Wow I don't compromise much, lol.

Problem:  Cleaning our place can create major resentment in both parties when one feels that the other is not cleaning up their own mess, or not doing standard up-keep cleaning to make the place look presentable (like serious amounts of dog hair needs to be vacuumed a lot!!!)

Solution: We had to revert to a "your chore, my chore" system... DH gets vacuuming (I dread this), and I get cleaning the litter box (he dreads that); DH gets bedding/towel/dog bed laundry, I get dusting & cleaning the bathroom; DH and I split the kitchen (if one cooks the other cleans, or who ever made the mess knows they have to clean it or it gets put on their night dresser)... no, just kidding about the last part : )

I'm the same way haha

BEAN, I think that's a good idea - I may have to talk to FI about that one since I try to clean up when I get home and he waits until later, so it feels like one isn't doing ANY of the cleaning, when in fact we are.  :/

Thanks!

My hubby and I realized during "pre" marital counseling (we were already legally married, but preparing for our family/religious ceremony in October of this year) that we are very different in some aspects that we hadn't thought of.  I love being around people, DH doesn't.  I mean he often has fun, but for him it's much more draining, while for me it's actually energizing!  I realized that I love to drag him everywhere I go, and he'll go because he loves me and loves seeing me happy.  So I'm working on being a bit more independent and going to some things by myself so that he has some him time.  

HAH!  I guess that's not much of a compromise... lol oh well.  I'll post it anyway!

Great tips ladies!  I'm still trying to figure my guy out.  If I have any a-ha's i will def post!
