SoI don’t even know where to start. This week - I think I left off with Wednesday. I had an appointment in DC and then met up with SirGawain for dinner and a movie in Bethesda. I really like spending time with him - I always have. We mesh well. Our sex life together is good - he is switching better than when we dated previously, and even if he’s not as dominant as I was first hoping for, he always makes me feel good and I enjoy being with him. However, I remain concerned about the state of his home.
His bed is complete garbage. When we dated previously, he purchased a topper to help out, and it did - marginally. But this last time I spent the night I didn’t sleep at all. It’s terribly uncomfortable. The bedroom is filthy and hoarded up with dishes and cat hair and dirty clothing. I told him the next time I come over, that I am demanding a clear path to the bathroom from my side of the bed. Honestly though, the bathroom itself almost made me for-real vomit the two times I’ve slept over.
One of my complaints when I was dating SirGawain before was that our dates quickly turned into “stay home and work on cleaning the house.” I enjoy decorating and tidying thing up, but the level of filth is just something I can’t handle. Since he’s working in the city now - he doesn’t get home until 7 pm, which means he doesn’t have a lot of time to devote to cleaning, so I don’t see it getting better. He’s excited about bed shopping with me, but there is zero way anything is getting delivered in his house right now. The smell from all the litter boxes is seriously overpowering.
He has told me on a couple of occasions that he wants me to help him set up his home office. He bought new furniture/equipment and the boxes are in a couple of places at the moment. Honestly, I would enjoy helping him with this project. His office is a little junky and just dirty - like he needs to dust and vacuum but overall it isn’t filthy. But the rest of the house is a huge project.
He’s not really a hoarder. He’s just a terrible housekeeper and lazy AF with cleaning up after himself. Honestly, once his paralegal job becomes permanent, he is open to hiring a cleaning service to maintain things but he’s got to get it to a reasonable level first. Because my own schedule is so very full - if we are meeting up twice a week, am I ok with devoting one of those dates to cleaning? Or rather, pointing at things and telling him to handle it?
Honestly, I am not comfortable sleeping over until he has a new bed and the bathroom is no longer disgusting. Part of the problem is that he gets optimistic but overly so, about the amount of time things will take to get things in a clean condition.
Writing all this out has me focusing on the issue. Yes, I think I am willing to do this. I think I will be seeing him Monday, and I know he is free tonight. If he can spend tonight clearing me a path and making the bathroom less of a superfund site while I am not there, I will help on Monday in his office. I’m going to message him right now to discuss this with him.
