Just hearing from supportive people makes me feel better.

Thanks for your comments.

My SO went to visit a relative. The trip went well. Now he is back and has half unpacked. The items he took are now in the guestroom/warehouse (another area of contention but unimportant now), bathroom counter, dining room table. Any ideas about how to request that he put away his Stuff? I...

Hypocrite! I like it! btw ur making me hungry!

If he likes pasta ther are some now made with a mix of grain and veg. Taste just like regular durham wheat pasta but have appreciably fewer carbs. Ask your grocer. I also cheat on things like chili by pureeing carrot or squash or similar to include in the meaty chili. Of course you need to...

Is thos whete I reply? Ok, maybe I have finally found the correct way to reply. It's confusing..the posting procedures. Dulcia, I know he was had certain training. The VA has been willing togive him various kinds of treatment. The only dd214 I have seen is old but supports his being in spec...

Well, cleaning is hopeless. I feel like giving up. If I didn't resist it woul be worse, but I'm slways looking for ways to have a somewhat normal home without the constant battle. Do you feel comfortable having neighbors visit. I don't. Recently his financial situation has improved a little...

Certainly we aren't the only couple with this issue. (My vet is retired long term army sergeant, therapy through VA.) There is "stuff" claiming space all around our home. His dresser (I can live with it), kitchen counter, dining room desk, entire guest room, one wall of living room, table next...
