My friend married a neat freak traditionalist who expected to come home from work and find a spotless house with a lovely wife cooking dinner and cherubic children. Instead, he would glower and fume and act all put-upon when he came home to a lived-in house (still very neat, because my friend is tidy and organized!), with his sons playing with toys on the floors of the living room. It was a point of contention in their marriage. I mean, they picked a WHITE SHAG RUG for their living room when their kids were toddlers. And expected it to stay that way.

Years later he had a breakdown at work because  of his perfectionist tendencies.

I hope he's doing better now, but I visited them recently, and boy, are his sons super uptight and careful around him. Walking on eggshells, even though he was in an expansive, genial mood that day.

You do NOT want to live with someone like this for ever, OP. It will traumatize you and traumatize any children that you bring into the world. There is nothing wrong with being a slob. It's the way some people are wired to be (check to see if you have ADHD!).

You deserve better.
