The odd couple: who's who in your life?

[Nathan]

In the TV comedy "The Odd Couple" Tony Randall played Felix Unger (the neat & tidy one) and Jack Klugman as Oscar Madison(the messy one).
Between you and your significant other(SO)...which one are You?

 

[Pepper]

Oscar Madison is my soul brother!

 

[jujube]

Oh, I'm the messy one. The Spousal Equivalent had to do quite a bit of realigning of attitude when I moved in.

 

[Paco Dennis]

I am a slight winner of being the messy one. @Nathan I was going to take your poll but both choices are for Felix.?

 

[Jules]

I’m definitely the messy one.

Reading your poll, those questions both have the same answer. Unless my brain is messed up and that’s a possibility.

I pondered the wording, hoping to give more latitude for choosing replies. But since we're talking about 2 people, it's kind of an either A or B situation. However, with a threesome the options become more numerous.

I'm the tidy one. My partner always laughs when he hears me vacuuming in the morning, but the room where he has his computer looks like a dorm room. Look at this pic. Not for the cats but for the clothes on the bed.

Yeah, it's no coincidence that the tidy one gets to do all the cleaning....

When we started out i was Oscar ... big time.... I thought that would doom our relationship as he was clean freak

Now slowly over the years we switched places i am constantly cleaning up behind him .... To be honest i wanted him to relax some but i created a monster

I was just about to post that too...

 

[Tish]

Messy one, until my OCD kicks in then I am the tidy one.

Oddly, there is no way to edit the poll or even my posting....

 

[Alligatorob]

Not sure I fit, more a Conan the Librarian type...

 

[Remy]

I'm not married and live alone. However we as kids had to do an exorbitant amount of cleaning. I'm a pretty lousy housekeeper.

Sometimes it bothers me, that's when I try to clean.

 

[RadishRose]

My SO is my dog. She is the messy one because she never puts her toys away.

The odd couple: who's who in your life?​

A certain lady who lives over the road, I know she loves me, I can tell, it's the way she lays her hand on me, usually by the scruff of the neck, and she says such sweet things to me, like, "Sod off home", or even, "Bugger off", when she is really being romantic.

 

[Ronni]

We are both tidy and fastidious. He is just as likely as me to run the vacuum, mop the floor, do the dishes, dust. He always makes the bed. I wash the clothes, he folds. We each put away our own. Neither of us likes clutter so there are seldom piles of anything, and if there are, they never last for more than a day or two. Our house is always guest-ready.

On the OTHER hand, we are VERY different in temperament and personality! We're a blend of complex and simple, overthinking and impulsive, volatile and measured. It makes for a fascinating and very connected relationship.

 

[Jackie23]

Oh I have always been the tidy one....my kids used to say....Mom is the happiest when she has a can of comet in her hand.

 

[Sassycakes]

Between me and my husband we are both odd. When he is neat I am messy and when I am neat he is messy ! It's 50% for both of us.

 

[JustBonee]

Only me now, but always have been the neat one.

 

[peppermint]

I like to be neat....so is my husband....

 

[Marie5656]

I am the messy one

 

[Irwin]

It's akin to heads I win, tails you lose.

 

[Murrmurr]

We're both very tidy. I'm faster at cleaning the kitchen, she's quick to make the bed. (I used to leave it unmade most days)

 

[PamfromTx]

I'm the tidy one.
