I think it took Gunthar and I a good year before we were both "trained" enough to know what stuff is whose, where it goes, and what you shouldn't move anywhere else.
When he put dishes away, for example, I ended up not knowing where anything was. Or, I would find some item in the strangest place. (Honey, why did you put the potato masher in the junk drawer?) He still doesn't know where some things go, but if he's really at a loss, he leaves that item in the dish drainer, because he knows that if he puts it where I can't find it, I'll have a fit.
You learn to work together, it just takes a while.
But you are occasionally going to move stuff you shouldn't and piss each other off. That never ends.
