[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is about me, not my spouse. I want to know if you successfully change this habit if your spouse who is like I am and  what you have done so I can learn from you . Because clearly this habit of mine drives my spouse crazy and i don't seem to change it fast enough. TIA

I have a habit of not putting things back where I get it right away often. I will put it when I am going to pass by the area where it was if I remember. For example, I went upstairs to get bleach bottle from the washroom to clean the kitchen sink. After I were done with the cleaning, I left the bottle on the kitchen counter and would bring it up when I went upstairs next time. I obviously have plenty of times going upstairs but I don't remember or it is out of my sight sometimes so it could sit at the counter for days. Same things with srew driver, nail clipper, slippers, hat, etc.  This probably a bad example but you get the idea. My spouse totally hate it and I understand this cause trouble when you need to find something and it is not at its original place. I try to change it but it is not perfect yet. I put things back more often than I used to but not always. Last time my spouse was mad of something else and found stuff not being put back then said I will throw it out if it is misplaced next time. Then a few days later, my spouse was mad at me about one thing and did throw out my business cards I left on the counter from last night and repeat the line. Despite all of that, I don't think my habbit will completely gone anytime soon. It is not that I don't want to change, it just seem like it is going to take a long time for me to change it. 
My habbit is to combine things to do at once, that is why i ddon't put it back right away if it is out of the way/area  [/quote]

Your habit will change if you really want it to. Hypothetically, if somehow your child's life depended on you breaking this habit right away, wouldn't you find a way to change right away? Think of what you'd do in that situation, and apply it here. If its not that important to you, then you have to find a compromise with yiur husband.[/quote]
