I've tried it and no it doesn't work immediately but over time the messy one becomes a little neater and the clean one a bit messy, so a slightly messy compromise is agreed on, which i now call comfortable lol....But we are talking a good three to five years of fighting for the change to happen, errr.... worth it???

It can be a co-dependant relationship, although not always harmonious. If they are into that sort of thing, then each one gets something to complain about, and feel important about, in upsetting the other's habits.
Personally I can't stand dirt, and everything has its place in my house and life. Things get untidy sometimes when I paint, but it is soon cleared up, and everything put back where it was again.
I couldn't live with an untidy person without wanted to clean and tidy the place. It is innate in some people I think.

invinciblemuse: Hm, the "messy" person could say the same.
I´m currently living with someone, who believes six towels are needed in the kitchen, all for various tasks: one for glasses, one for hands, one for plates that have just come out of the dishwasher, one for cutlery, one for... actually, I don´t know. It´s driving me nuts!!! I´m making a huge effort to keep the existing order, but in return I don´t wanna get told off when I get it wrong.
What am I trying to say?? The tidy person is not right by default. Meeting in the middle and finding the right compromise is essential, and both sides have to walk towards the other and make an effort. Then it can work out.

Untidy people have little idea of how to be tidy. which is why they are forever untidy. It's like trying to put a round peg into a square hole.It just doesn't work.
Besides, tidy does not equate to being obsessive compulsive, which is what someone who demands the use of six different kitchen towels, most likely displays.
At the same, untidy does not mean leaving the odd item here and there for a while, then say, putting things away, straightaway after use, and not go into a cold sweat doing so.
A seriously untidy person (read 'slob')rarely changes their behaviour. Personally, I couldn't bear it, though I'm not obsessive about everything in its place. JMO.
