I have been married to my husband for 45 years. We live in a reasonable sized house (4/5 bedrooms, 3 receptions, cellar, double garage) in the country. He is a kind and thoughtful man but one thing is driving me crazy. He will not let go of any of his stuff. How can two people not fit into a house that size. His stuff will no longer fit onto shelves and into drawers. He has so many clothes he never wears, inherited furniture, books galore, video tapes, old photograph albums, LPs not to mention DIY stuff. I could go on. I feel as though I'm drowning in all his stuff and I'm beginning to despair. Maybe it would stress him to let go of his stuff but surely not any more than it stresses me having to live with it day in day out. I have tried talking it through reasonably with him and he agrees with me. But nothing changes. I don't think anyone will be able to suggest anything I haven't already tried but here's hoping!
