Since moving house we haven’t stopped arguing:(

I love my fiancé to pieces he is the sweetest man and I can’t wait to marry him. We recently moved to a new house and I thought that would make us both happier to live somewhere beautiful, however since then, we have argued non stop about housework. In his mind he’s in a nice place that doesn’t require any extra effort and I want to keep it looking nice by trying our best to keep it clean and organised. He is sick of me asking him to do things and I’m sick of having to ask. We keep going round in circles and this is really the only thing we argue about but it is never resolved and we argue everyday. It doesn’t help that our sex life has been non existent too. I’m worried we’re not compatible:( any advice would be appreciated.

Since there is no right or wrong; or one right way about how much cleanliness/organisation is needed - it’s all down to individual preferences - you two need to did down and talk. And compromise.
And that means both of you, not just him just agreeing to what you want to do.
Or you can continue to push for it to be your way and slowly destroy your relationship.

What sorts of things are you disagreeing about? Making sure there are clean cups for breakfast or wiping down skirting boards (the latter something I’ve only heard of people doing on here!)?

What’s going on with your sex life, as that’s a different issue?

Were you living together before? How was it then?

In his mind he’s in a nice place that doesn’t require any extra effort

Are you saying he's not contributing at all or not doing his fair share of he's not doing specific things that you want done? Can you expand on this as I'm not finding it that clear?

In his mind he’s in a nice place that doesn’t require any extra effort

Do you mean he doesn't do anything at all?

Or do you have different standards?

OP you have posted about this guy multiple times and many different people have given you the same answer.

He's a lazy disrespectful man child with ED who can't even bother to feed the dog. Nothing at all nice about him.

Why do you keep posting the same issues about him when he is never going to change? What is stopping you from kicking him to the kerb? He truly is not the last man on earth.

he is the sweetest man

Apart from when he's neglecting your dog, refusing to get help for his physical health problems including ED and not pulling his weight at all around the house...

He's a waste of space OP. He's not going to change. Every thread you post ends the same way - with people telling you to leave him. This one won't be any different.
