A lot of people are just control freaks about their living space and they can't stand someone doing something differently than they'd do it. My mom was one of them for sure. She was also a shitty cook.
I'm not a control freak and I find it really hard to be around people who are, and goddamn there are a lot of them out there.
I'd just like to find someone who actually cooks. Everyone I date thinks cooking is gross and basically lives off those meal box services. I haven't met anyone who likes to cooks in over a decade.
My mom was a control freak in the kitchen, and now I hate cooking. Every time I make anything more complex than a very simple pasta, I'm subconsciously growing more and more tense because I'm just waiting for someone to yell at me.
I can relate. my mom was like it about cleaning.
it's given me a aversion to very clean spaces, and a lot of comfort in spaces that are dirty and 'lived in', and when i go to someone's house and it looks like it's from a magazine photo and there isn't a spec of dust my skin crawls.
