So I officially move in with my boyfriend tomorrow (after pretty much living here for a few months anyway). Removalists are coming, and I'm paying rent now. I love my boyfriend, I love the house, I even like our flatmate.
Now the only thing is.. my boyfriend is a mega hoarder. I think he's still clutching onto t-shirts from 1986.. I am so anti clutter it not funny. I'm as minimalist as they come (must be my Scando background).
Though I'm going to have my own room and such to put my bed and clothes etc in, I will be spending most of my time in his room. His walk in robe make me feel so claustrophobic and smothered. It's full to the brim of shit every which way. I'm constantly reorganising it, but it always messy.
How do I convince him that he does not need 15 jumpers with holes in them? 6 tennis raquets with no strings? 4 cricket bats when I've never even seen him plat cricket?
All the glasses and cutlery in the house are all mismatched and I just want to go out and buy and nice new matching sets. But how do I get him to part with all his novelty glasses etc? Ah
I have to have everything matching. I know I'm anal.
Maybe I can convince him to put it all away in storage?

Apparently there were things in there that he needed to keep for years!! It's a frustrating condition.
