Me too. And if you are anything like me, it's not about neatness or someone 'not being like you'. It's much bigger than that. When I can't find a space to eat at an 8 person breakfast room table because he's sprawled his stuff all over it within an hour after I have cleared it. When I trip over things he's 'storing'. When there are 8 junk drawers between the kitchen and dining room holding - junk. When I come downstairs in the morning and find drawers open. When it costs thousands of dollars in emergency vet care because he's left something open and the dog got to it. When all the printers, etc are in his office and it's a hazard to walk in there to get something off the printer. Ad nauseum

For those that think it should be easy, that we should just be able to throw this stuff away, etc, it's not that easy. One of two things happen. Either there's outright hostility or there is a passive-aggressive slam waiting for you down the line.

I so understand.  How's your garage?  That is what pushes me over the edge...3 car garage and haven't been able to park in it for years...[/quote]

I had that redone under his protest last year. He's still cluttered up the third bay so I'll be giving stuff away. The bikes are the worst - he bought a rack three years ago and still has not put it together. I'd do it but I am profoundly non-mechanical. All the extra cabinetry I had installed helps a ton. He still insisted on putting in some crappy rusted shelving and a run down corner cabinet back in there. In addition, his workshop bench is a profound disaster. I didn't want to die on that hill so I let these things go

What you have to do is say "you have X weeks to get Y done. If you don't, I will hire Z to do it" for anything you can't do yourself.  [/quote]
