[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish I could help. I deal with this on a daily basis. My husband has junk mail from 20 years ago. I keep big baskets all over the house in a vain attempt to limit the chaos. I've learned to check the mail before he does and throw out 90% of it. Ive tried to be polite and have him check to make sure that I'm not throwing out anything important. But then he retrieves most of it 'just in case'. I finally decided to devote the entire second floor (all the bedrooms) to his mess and that of our son (who is even worse than he is), as long as he leaves the first floor alone. I don't even go up there anymore. It's not a great compromise, but it's the best I've been able to come up with. This truly drives me crazy.[/quote] Your husband if he's willing needs to seek professional help. This is a sign of hoarding. Don't try to throw out the paper. Confrontation makes hoarding worse.
