This may sound very shallow of me, but I had a close friend that I loved very much. We were inseprable for quite a while until I went to her house one day and her home was very unclean, I don't just mean untidy but sticky floor, moldy plates in the kitchen, dust in the bath unclean. I distanced myself from her because I pride myself in keeping myself clean and my personal space extremely tidy.

What are your views on unclean/messy homes?

Did she smell?

No, not at all. (I wouldn't be friends with a smelly person, but that's a different issue).

Well if she kept herself clean and didn't smell and stuff what was the issue with being friends with her?

I don't really care, mine's pretty clean and tidy but why would I or anyone stop being friends with someone because their house is messy?

Unless you want to live with them I don't see the issue

[Crimson Dynamo]

I am not obsessive but keep a clean house and never leave dishes overnight or after meals. A daily hoover and the like. with brats its a full time fecking job.

[Jarrod]

I hate dirty rooms. I feel obliged to clean them if they are.

Reminds me of the episode of Friends when Monica couldn't sleep thinking about that woman's dirty apartment so offered to clean it.

Because she had a dirty home.

Eugh same.

You value the cleanliness of someone else's house that you may see once every so often over their friendship itself? Maybe it's just me but that's flawed logic

But what's her home got to do with you? Did she make you sleep there?

It's flawed logic in your opinion.

Nope, but me distancing myself has stopped that from happening.

[Kazanne]

I get the urge to tidy and clean messy homes,lol,but only because I enjoy doing it,one of my friends lives like a tramp but she's lovely so would never not be friends because of it,I befriended her,not her house

[Daniel.]

I hate them and I wouldn't use there cutlery lol

But It wouldn't affect the friendship

my house is immaculate, we even try to not eat in the living room to protect the carpet. once my mum's friend didn't take her shoes off and I was like the whole time

Dirty/uncleanliness is completely different to mess.

Mess is fine I suppose if that just the way you are, I'm not like that.

There is no excuse for dirtiness.

In the opinions of most sane and rational people that value their friends more than their houses I'd imagine

If her house was messy I could deal with that, it's just a lifestyle choice, but it was a really dirty, filthy house.

[Sophiee]

I don't think it would affect my friendship with somebody if their house was dirty, although it is horrible. it wouldn't bother me at all if it was just messy though.

it's a rule that everybody takes their shoes off as they enter in my house .

So I'm not sane for distancing myself from a friend with a filthy house?

[Crimson Dynamo]

if i went to someones house and they said "oh would you mind taking off your shoes " i would leave
