When we split up the tasks that we are going to do she always picks laundry but then only puts it in the washing machine. The next time I need clothes and try to do laundry I find her last load of laundry still wet in the washing machine. She only likes certain things dried, the rest go on a rack. At first I would hang all her shit, but now I just put it on top of the dryer and when I'm done i throw it back in the washer.

Are you banging my wife?

Things that I have noticed about myself:

I rarely finish drinking beer on an odd number, but it gets tough when reaching double digits.
I turn all my dollar bills the same direction and face up.

Just things that I have always done.

She picked them up and just went off on me about them while throwing them at me. Then she also went off about a DvD that wasn't in its case(it was on top of the case and she put it there). Was interesting because we have been together for about 6 months and its the first time that her OCD has came out.

Her normal OCD stuff is her clothes have to be hanging the same way and she likes to keep colors together.
She is just getting warmed up... Good things to come! :)

My wife has it. She has to arrange things on the coffee table in the same position (including the remotes in order from longest to shortest). The icing on the cake is when she lines up things like tater tots on a cookie sheet in a straight line. You haven't lived until your dinner side dish are in marching order like nazis.

Of course I will intentionally turn a few sideways just to freak her out. After 15 years its the little things.

I have several. I can't even identify some of them.

My wife acknowledges them each time, but it's not like it's "obsessive" to me...it's "normal." It's what should be done.

The covers on the bed have to start out a certain way. All hangers and clothes hanging the same way. All volume levels are on an even numbered setting. Those are the ones she identifies the most.

Yes, but his wife is clean. Clearly your husband has a dirty penis and gives you tonsil herpes. At least that is what you said on the other thread.

What's her name so I know who to ask for?

Both of you need to think about wife swapping for a couple of weeks, except ETB may not want his back.

Yeah my wife could clean his place when they're done and his wife could trash mine and give my wife something to do when she got home lol.
