If you are going to seriously consider a relationship with this person, ask yourself if you can stand to live in their home like it is for the rest of your life, because there is no cure.

I don't want you to go into the relationship thinking, "I could clean up just a bit here and there" because it will most likely cause arguments and stress.

It's was too hard being married to a hoarder. Divorced for 7 years now and I definitely feel FREE. I have hoarders in my family (brothers and an aunt) and it's difficult understanding the hoard and they keep buying and picking up stuff. Think TWICE getting into this relationship

Go. Go IMMEDIATELY. I have a brother who is a hoarder. I'm tied by blood to him for life. Escape NOW.

Go. It is SO not worth it. You will always come second to his stuff. It will take over your space and home and sanity and will strangle the life out of you.

I'm new here. I have been in a relationship for 9 months. I should of ran when I saw the first red flag..his car. I want to walk away but fear this will cause more harm and put him him a depressive spiral. I learned ultimatiums don't work. He will always choose his stuff first.
