Hi there, Pretty Lady!
I don't really know what to say here that will help you out, but I had to comment that I found this post very interesting. You see, I'm on the other side. I'm like Adrian; I'm extremely neat and would make Bree on "Desperate Housewives" seem like a slob. I understood perfectly when she was in the shrink's office and reached into her purse for her travel sewing kit to stitch up the button falling off the shrink's jacket. Oh yeah. Makes all the sense in the world to me.
Your post helped me look at things from the other side; now I understand what my poor husband has had to go through for the past 39 years. Although it's not going to change my obsessive-compulsiveness, maybe I can make light of it and know that poor Adrian is going through the same thing.
It's not fun being a neat-nick, 'cause nothing is ever good enough or perfect enough. Our efforts to make the world right are all in vain, of course, and, although we know it, we can't help ourselves.
Go easy on Adrian; adjusting to a new country is damn difficult -- as you must know -- and this is just his way of trying to make it "right."
