I vowed to keep my shoes together from now on.
Were you losing your shoes?
When I left them scattered about, my girlfriend had a mental breakdown.
Sometimes you have to do things that don't bother you but bother your so, to help the relationship along. It will lead to less fights if you agree on somethings.
Wow I did not know this would happen.
That was considerate of you to heed your girlfriend's feelings. Some people take tidiness a little too far, but being neat will allow you to find what you need in a hurry.
