I'm very neat. My husband is messy - never picks anything up. Doesn't even notice the mess - it's below his radar. I cured myself from my annoyance with him by imagining that he had died and then asking myself, "If you could bring him back to life but he'd still be messy, leave clutter all over the house - 5 pairs of shoes in the living room, would you still want him back?" "Yes, for sure!"

And, it cured me. Whenever I get annoyed with his mess, I rerun the script.
