My husband likes to keep everything, and I prefer minimalism. A home remodel helped us learn to declutter together.
Briefly

The difference between how we dealt with clutter took a toll; I felt suffocated and panicked at the stacks, bags, and boxes of his things.
Living with so much clutter affected my mental health. It seemed impossible to make stuffed spaces look nice. Rooms felt cramped, every storage area overflowed.
At the end of the remodel, we donated several boxes. I felt empowered. High on the win, we implemented this same tactic in other areas.
We now have a new way of talking about clutter. I use the word 'seem' specifically so he can correct me if I'm wrong, and we agree on a timeline.
