Well, this was rage-inducing

mousmeSo for some reason, I am still subscribed to FlyLady. Though now that I've found Unfuck Your Habitat, I was considering dropping FlyLady. It's the same principle of cleaning in small increments, but with less God and more foul language. More my style. ;)
Then one of today's "testimonials" from FlyLady proved the last straw.
Dear FlyLady,
To be honest I have never even looked at your website. But my wife does. I have debated over the past few years over whether or not to leave my wife. I love her with all my heart. We have had problems since getting together 15 years ago.
I have always lived in very clean homes and she had always lived in chaos. It has had a serious toll on our relationship, almost to the brink of disaster. I have always maintained the idea she would grow out of this and things would get better but they never did, until I told her I was ready to walk out the door.
I'm not sure what she did, maybe a little soul searching and who knows. She started changing and talking about you. She used to always look like she rolled out of bed and into whatever was laying around. Our house was embarrassingly disgusting, and nothing was ever organized. She wouldn't shop, care for the kids, cook, and developed a seriously bad attitude. The worse she got then the worse my attitude towards her.
Now she gets out of bed, takes care of herself, keeps her tone in check, cooks, cleans a little here and there, keeps some sort of notebook with all her todo stuff, and has quickly started to become the woman I fell in love with. I am so happy with her right now.
Thank you so much for being able to connect with her thru your website. I feel like she is the same person, just living to her potential. My life is renewed, my marriage is renewed and most importantly, I know she feels a whole lot better about herself!!
A FlyBaby's Husband
*********************************
FlyLady here: We don't often get testimonials from a FlyBaby's husband. When we do they they are not usually good ones. This is the best kind; a husband who has found the woman he fell in love with!
Many times we get so overwhelmed at the state of our homes that we don't know where to start. I am so proud of this family. I am especially proud of this husband for sharing his feelings with his wife. I know this was hard for her to hear. She did not stick her head under the covers; she jumped in and got started!
Well, thank GOD for FlyLady, otherwise this woman would have lost the perfect husband! After all, nothing says "I love you" like a guy who expects you to cook, clean and "keep [your] tone in check," right? It's your duty as a wife to look after the kids, make sure the house is pristine and that dinner is on the table when your husband comes home, and of course you must look pretty all the time while doing it.
How much do you want to bet that this guy hasn't ever seen the working end of a mop? He always lived in clean homes, sure, but I'm willing to bet it was his mother and ex-girlfriends/wives who did it for him.
In short, I am done with this shit. I'm going over 100% to Unfuck Your Habitat with not a single regret.
