Hi Desperato, wondering how you are doing and if you still check in on here. Hoping you found some inspiration and help here.

Hello Desperato :)

Like you I also live with a man who is a major hoarder.
Nothing I have ever tried has ever worked.
He sees nothing wrong with it.
Some years back I did clear out all his stuff from everywhere in the house except his bedroom and I have kept these areas free of his clutter by immediately removing anything he tried to stash in here.
Unfortunately, he has hoarded all the 3 car/2 story garage, 3 car carport and most all the outside property.
So, anyways, Good luck and best wishes.

Hi Everyone,

I have had a very bad year for many reasons, but I just found your site and I feel I must plunge ahead and introduce myself.

I , like many of you, am married to a man who is a hoarder - luckily not to the extreme. But enough for me to write here.

I hope that I can find some inspiration here on how to handle it. I am not sure I can go any further as nothing works, he is sure there is no problem and cant understand why I am complaining. He therefore won't seek help because according to him, he is ok , and its my attitude that's off.

To make things a little more complicated, we have been living overseas - he is not American. I returned to the States about 8 months ago when my dad died. I told him I can't go back until things change. He is coming here the end of November and I am worried it will be awful.

Anyway, that's me in a nutshell. I'll be reading a number of posts but would love to hear from you as well.

Thanks,
Desperato.
