It's how my husband stopped being a slob. His second wife, or nursing home roommate, will thank me for that while I haunt them all from beyond the grave. If ghosts are real, I totally plan on being the kind that haunts people a lot. My spirit will also chill in the bicycle aisle at Walmart, slowly letting the air out of all the tires. For realz, though, his apartment before we moved in together was disgusting and smelly. I once cleaned his bathroom and picked up about 12-16 pairs of dried crusty disposable contact lenses off the floor - and he doesn't wear contacts and had been living alone without a roommate for about a year.
Now that I finally trained that dude I married not to put empty containers and boxes of things back in the fridge or cabinet, he has a new thing where he leaves the toilet seat up. Is all of the rigorous nagging pushing this previously learned behavior out of his mindset? Does the progress induced by my nagging cause backsteps in other integral areas such as toilet seat etiquette? Good thing I'm super great at nagging to fix all of this.
He is significantly less obvious than I am about his training of me. Sometimes, I don't even realize that he's doing it until someone else will say something like "Dang, you haven't said anything even remotely racist today" - and I know that is his influence. I married a filter.
