A husband expresses frustration over his wife's cluttered habits, which has turned into a significant issue affecting his sleep and feelings toward their relationship. Despite multiple attempts to discuss the issue, he feels unheard and increasingly angry, suggesting his wife's attachment to possessions hampers their connection. He is advised to directly discuss his emotional distress and recommend therapy, considering the underlying psychological aspects of her hoarding tendencies. Another writer shares concerns about her husband’s irritability when she drinks, highlighting shared challenges in communication as they age.
My anger has built to the point where I cannot take it any longer... My wife treasures her possessions more than she treasures me or our relationship.
People who have the tendency to hoard the way your wife does sometimes suffer from anxiety, depression or some other emotional problem. There is help for it, thank heavens.
Tell her that because you aren't communicating well on this subject, you want the two of you to consult a licensed marriage and family therapist.
Although this is a good thing... when I imbibe, Chuck becomes irritable and starts fights.
