I DIDN’T realise that moving in with my girlfriend would be such hard work.

She changes the sheets on our bed every single day and the towels get done every other day.

Consequently, the washing machine and tumble dryer are constantly droning on, doing my head in.

She’s also obsessed with blitzing the kitchen, cleaning the bathroom and vacuuming all over.

Before I moved in, I only really saw her at weekends because I work odd hours.

But now that we’re a live-in couple, I’m experiencing her fanaticism in the raw and I don’t like it.

I’m becoming grumpy and irritated and don’t fancy sex.

Those bleachy hands turn me off, while she thinks I’m a slob for not appreciating her.

What’s going on? JANE SAYS:Your girlfriend needs to hear that her excessive cleaning is in danger of driving you away.

Yes, of course, we all like a clean house, but any form of obsessive behaviour is worrying.

You’re a co-habiting couple now and compromises need to be made. No-one said that these early days would be easy, but can’t she calm down and start seeing things from your point of view?

I agree the drone of a tumble dryer is a bore.

Would she accept that the laundry is done once a week instead?

Divide up the chores so she no longer feels everything is up to her.

Sadly, if she can’t calm down, then is this going to work?
