[quote=Anonymous]Are you older? You sound rather set in your ways. You have to learn to compromise. Especially if you’ve never lived with a woman before - even my very neatest female friends don’t keep their makeup and closet looking tidy all the time. You probably just have a few things - razor, face wash, sunscreen. While she likely has a ton of anti-aging products, makeup, hair products etc. It’s a lot of stuff and would take more effort to keep it all display worthy! Same for clothes - you have pants and shirts. She likely has lots of different outfit types (dresses, skirts, pants etc) for work and casual, plus tons of accessories. It takes my husband 10 mins to put away laundry but takes me much longer because I have so many more things to deal with.

Anyway, I would pick one or two things that really bug you and ask her to work on those. The makeup and the closet don’t seem like a big deal - those are private areas that guests wouldn’t see and I don’t think you have a right to micromanage how she stores her things. But if you don’t have space for your toothbrush, ask her to leave you room! Same for the closet - her laundry should be her own business, but if she is blocking your ability to get to your shoes or whatever, ask her to keep a path clear for you. And you just have to get used to it.

So maybe you ask that she store leftovers in a way you can see what else is in the fridge? She puts her own dishes in the sink?

Honestly the more I think about it, the more I think you are way too uptight about stuff. We have throw blankets but never really told them. I leave dishes in the sink for hours until I feel like loading the dishwasher (sometimes the breakfast dishes sit in the sink until after dinner!)  [/quote]
