[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DP here but I think the issue isn't planning for the next day. It's planning SO FAR in advance.

OP can correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm guessing that leaving stuff out for more than - or around - 24 hours in advance is the issue.

OP I think it's a combination of ADD and OCD. [/quote]

OP here, and yes, this is it. It's not planning. We all do that. To me at least, and this may be my issue, I'm not thinking of what I'm eating for breakfast on Monday morning as early as Sunday morning and then actually acting on it by leaving a bowl to sit out all day. Does that really help Monday's morning so much? That the bowl is already out? That takes what, three seconds? And leaving clothes out sometimes for two full days (golf)? It's just odd is all. He's a great guy, no anger here.[/quote]

Isn't he just putting out items [i]when he thinks of them[/i]/thinks of the upcoming work day/breakfast/golf outing? He's in that moment and does the prep then and there, rather than waiting. As others have noted, it's not that big a thing.

But OP, I think the question really to consider is: Why does it [i]bother[/i] you, to the point that you wanted to find out if it's "indicative of" something bigger? The behavior doesn't harm you or him. In fact it might make him feel more secure, in control and confident! [/quote]

I think it's more of a "WTH?" than bothering me. But sometimes it actually is annoying when he leaves his bowl for tomorrow morning in front of the appliance I need for dinner now; or when he leaves his clothes for tomorrow morning in the bathroom where I'm needing the tub today, and his clothes are draped over it, and then gets put off when I try to move them. But that's really it. I was just wondering, honestly. I'm not nitpicking him and I have never said anything to him about it. It just seems obsessive, but all the replies seem on point. Thanks.
