[quote=Anonymous]True hoarding is a mental illness that involves not being able to let stuff go. Do any of these men y'all are describing collect things? Buy lots of stuff they don't use but store up in the house? An acquaintance of mine needed help moving and her apt was full of "collections" that were either junk (coupons that were expired, or old, wrinkled up, dirty magazines with a particular celebrity on the cover, things like that) or random things she doesn't use in large numbers (there were like 40 unused makeup/toiletry bags, tags still on, never used, many still in the shopping bag from where she bought it. Oh, she had a bunch of pencil bag things as well). Here apt was also full of literal trash she couldn't part with for weird reasons (bags and bags of receipts from years ago, just grocery store receipts or whatever, that "had part of the credit card number on them" so she was saving them to shred -- and I mean garbage bag sizes of bags full of this stuff). And I'll add the apt filled up so much there wasn't any carpet showing on the floor; every surface was piled with junk or bags of junk.

So not quite the same thing as being messy and feeling a bit crowded by your spouse trying to pick up after you. Both frustrating for sure, but not the same thing. [/quote]
