WHAT WOULD you do?
He's messy and I'm tidy

Got a problem? Let that's life! readers help! Here's what they had to say about this week's dilemma

Dear that's life!

I'm in my late 40s and in a great relationship with a lovely man. We still live separately, which suits me as my grown-up kids come and visit me as often as they like and feel at home. My man is strongly hinting that he'd like us to move in together but I'm not sure about this. It's working fine as it is for me and I don't want to rock the boat with my kids. Also, I know how messy he is and I like to go home to my relatively tidy house.

What do I do?

He won't change

If you're satisfied with your lifestyle, don't change it. Just think of all the mess you'll have to pick up after him. By his age, he'll never change. Rona Hansen

Review in a year

Say you're not ready just at the moment and suggest you review the situation next year, then hope he forgets about it. Julie Anna

Seems reasonable
