My Girlfriend’s “Quirk” Is Costing Us Groceries and Leaving the House a Mess. I’m Not Sure I Can Live Like This.

A man writes to 'Dear Prudence' expressing frustration with his girlfriend's carelessness around the house, such as leaving food uncovered, failing to close cabinets, and mishandling small items like clothespins. He acknowledges their strong relationship but feels overwhelmed by the constant mess and wasted resources. The columnist suggests considering whether his girlfriend might have undiagnosed ADHD, noting that while treatment could help, it wouldn't change her fundamentally. The writer is advised to reflect on whether he can accept both the positive and negative aspects of her behavior.
