My Boyfriend Is a Perfectionist — Here's 9 Reasons I Love It

It's no surprise to anyone who knows me that I'm a bit . . . messy. I tend to be disorganized and I spill things all the time. My boyfriend, on the other hand, is one of neatest people I know. Everything is spick and span — he's a perfectionist, to say the least.

Since we started dating, I have to say he's improved my general disorderliness. Also, he keeps his cool when it comes to my constant breaking and spilling things. It's pretty wonderful dating a neat freak like him. Here's nine reasons . . .
