But, like you, it's something about him that this simple request is actually difficult. I don't really understand it but after 9 years of marriage I have come to at least understand that he really isn't doing it on purpose. It's helpful to read from other people, especially women, who are like this.
My husband is respectful, helpful, everything. I just can't ask him to do little stuff like put the cap back on the toothpaste tube so it doesn't all leak out (we use Tom's of Maine, very soft and it oozes). I've learned to let almost all of it go. Nagging at him simply doesn't work. Though I did not start out this way, I have found I am more capable of letting the little stuff slide than he is capable of putting his towel in a good location.
That's not advice to the OP, btw - I hope your solution works. But I guess something to keep in the back of your head if there's a slipup or something. For some guys this would be pure lack of respect, but for some people, their brains just don't work that way for some reason or another. My husband just does NOT really notice this stuff, even if I nag at him, and the nagging just destroys the relationship. The toothpaste I can just clean up.
