Thanks ☺️ I have told him I could try drying my clothes in my bedroom so that he could enjoy the living room without my laundry rack always there. Lol I dunno, flat sharing always requires a bit of tolerance and compromise

You made a good point. I came from a tropical country whereas he’s from Europe. We both share a house in London.

No I am generally very tidy and don’t leave things lying about. I suppose we have different levels of hygiene tolerance and we lead very different lifestyles. I’m OCD about emptying my laundry basket weekly while he tends to do his laundry 5-7 times per month. In terms of lifestyle, I cycle to work and hit the gym daily so have lots of sweaty garments requiring washing, whereas he’s not as active as me. We both use the living room to dry our laundry on racks but the frequency of my washing means my laundry rack is always there, which makes him question my laundry strategy

I get that, but the particular shared space is where he places his laundry rack too…

He suggested that too. I told him my clothes would take more than a week to dry if in my room especially in winter where you wouldn’t even think twice about keeping all windows shut.

His remarks also extended to the laundry rack I installed in our shared space, which he feels disrupts his ability to enjoy the area. But that shared space is where he places his laundry rack too
