Meticulous, perfectionist or insane
Today I would like to share with you the situation from my home. If you think you know what it means to be meticulous, I assure you you don't, because you haven't met my husband. In fact, I am in a dilemma as to whether he is meticulous, a perfectionist, or perhaps insane. 😊 He cut a piece of bread for dinner at a right angle. I don't know how you call the end slice of bread but that slice is his favorite and since each bread has two end pieces, he always carefully cuts them and makes himself a sandwich. And in the sandwich, everything is in perfect order, nicely arranged... A big disaster happened to him last night. I put my finger into his slice of bread and ate a bite. I ruined everything. I ruined his idea of the perfect piece of bread. 🤣
Do you know how he felt? He was not angry. He was sad and disappointed. He kept that piece of bread for dinner and now it's all failed. He ate it of course but very hard. I was laughing. In disbelief. This is just one situation. The wardrobe in his closet is neatly arranged. My closet is often in chaos and then I pick one day and tidy up until chaos ensued again. He is meticulous, but in some situations, too much meticulousness is excessive. Or not? What do you think about this trait?
I think we should respect everyone's personality because we are all different and have our own characteristics that make us unique. When you love someone, it means that you accept them with all their flaws and virtues, although sometimes it is difficult to accept some traits that seem illogical to us. Some people care about the little things. For them, the whole world is falling apart because of some little thing that would seem irrelevant to many people. We need to be understanding. There is no need to prove to someone that something is wrong with them if they pay attention to the little things.
Although the situation with bread sounds abnormal, when I think about it better, it is part of someone's personality and every personality should be respected because it is unique, if it doesn't affect us. Whether we are meticulous, perfectionists, chaotic, relaxed, or messy we deserve the respect of the people with whom we share living space.
Do you accept the people you live with as they are or are you trying to change them? Let me know in the comments.
Thank you very much for your time.

My ex-boyfriend was like your husband lol but anyways, my partner is not that organized but I am so imagine my frustrations :) I don't think there's a need to change someone we just got to accept them for what they are. Perhaps you can meet halfway.
