You made him aware of your grief and he listened, a proper marriage!
My ex-husband would always leave the house worse off than I left it in when I'd go on work trips, and he'd never change the cat litter (but he would feed them) when I'd be gone for a week... when we were going through the divorce and I was moving out, I learned the the cats defecated on several of his backpacks and other personal belongings (but NOTHING of mine) so I had a good karma feeling leaving that marriage knowing even the cats resented him (the cats who came with me of course). He never cared how upset I was to come home to a house full of undone chores... my current fiance on the other hand? Complete opposite! My happiness and sanity is his number one concern

Devious too! Good thing ours didn't do anything like that while I was gone. I'm sure I would have had to clean that up too. However, if he'd peed on the bed, maybe the sheets would have been clean first time around...

This.is.classic.
One of thing I love about cats is that you always know where you stand with them. Two similar experiences. Old friend comes to stay on my boat and I don't know who was most put out - Old friend who hates cats with a passion or my boat cat who had to now share the couch WITH a cat-o-phobe. Turns out she won as when old friend went to retire for the night and pulled back the back the bedding there was the welcome sight of numerous damp spots... yup boat cat had pi$$ed all over it the couch
. When I worked from home I was very close to a tabby kitten we were raising. We used to sit together on our special chair while I worked at the PC. One week I left for a mini break at a friends and evidently kitten was very put out. DH really appreciated it went he went to sit down on the 'special' chair to check ebay only to find ... yup... he was sitting in kitty poo!!...my current fiance on the other hand? Complete opposite! My happiness and sanity is his number one concern
I'm so pleased that you found that special someone Shima

I have experienced the same problems during the 14 years we've been married. I have managed to do some rudimentary "spouse training," (toilet seat down, etc) but housecleaning? Forget it. So rather than stew about it, I hired someone to clean once every two weeks. That has made my life a lot easier, although I still have the countless daily messes to deal with. It's amazing how neat the house stays when he's away on business!Awwww, that's awesome!! Maybe he can come give mine some lessons

Mine's gone for eight months. While I prefer the mere week long breaks while he's traveling on a normal schedule, I guess I'll get an extended break from the messes, at least that's one of the positives I'm trying to tell myself! Less laundry, fewer dishes, bed stays neater, house stays neater. I won't go into the negatives. It just gets me down!
I've thought of hiring someone to clean every two weeks, but I just can't justify the cost while I'm not working. It's sure tempting, though!
