You only get to dictate how someone runs their home and their life if you're paying for it or living in/with it. Messiness isn't like personal hygiene which is a medically accepted standard to kill off bacteria, not get sick, cause a bad smell, infect others etc.
Who gets to determine the right level of 'tidy'? Why does one person's definition matter more than someone else's? If someone thinks a person is messy for not labelling boxes, colour coding the underwear drawer - is a partner expected to conform to that standard? If Jake has OCD or is a severe germophobe, does Liberty have to spend her life living by his exacting standards? We don't even know how messy Liberty really is....[/quote]
It's really not that deep. People get put off by mess. They are living together in the villa, messy habits aren't appealing and it's not like a normal dating scenario when you go home at the end of the night.
It's no different to personal hygiene. Nobody gets sick from stale breath or dirty pants but it can be yuck
Jake isn't wrong for being turned off by that. He's wrong for being an ass and lying to her, and using her. But being put off by mess? You can't really blame him for that
