Lisa, I am a 54 year old woman, I was married to a hoarder for 15 years, we have a child 14 years old. We live in an upscale neighborhood outside chicago, and despite my having left him 18 months ago, after failing to find any support for me and my child to live in a hoard free home, I now have a judgement against me for 150K because he would not remedy his issues with the ordinances. My husband had some wonderful qualities, after all I married the guy and chose to have a child with him, and I am sure your boyfriend has some wonderful qualities. Hoarding is a dealbreaker. Period. When times get tough for any reason, the hoarder will always protect their stuff first. Always. Sound familiar? It probably does, you have no doubt been in situations where your beloved feels in some way threatened, and always will propose a move to protect his stuff. If you marry him, and have children, it will kill you when he chooses to sacrifice your baby for his stuff. DONT DO IT
