Two personality disorders are better than one.

They say that married life is about resolving problems as a couple that you wouldn't have if you were single. My personality disorder is that I need things to be nice and clean and tidy. My wife's personality disorder is that she is extremely conscious about getting value for money. You see then that neither is a major problem on its own. However this weekend highlighted what a dangerous combination the two together can be. My wife refuses to let me throw out old shoes that I no longer like nor wear. I cannot bear to see these sad shoes gather dust and become dirty. The net result is that I spend half my Sunday afternoon every couple of weeks polishing shoes that are never worn. I don't know why it was only this weekend when I realised what a significant waste of time this is.
