@lizzabeth A wonderful post that I can definitely relate to. Thank you for sharing. I feel like my once very well organized home has been turned upside down. My husband hides everything in fear that someone is going to steal what we have. He has sorted and packed and resorted and repacked his things in our bedroom so many times that it is difficult to find him clean clothes on a daily basis. I have to hide his underwear to make sure he has clean ones when needed. I use to get so angry with him, but now I just tell him he better make sure he knows where his clothes are…I’d hate to see him have to go to church in his birthday suit. 🙃 So far that has not been a problem. 🤣

@labrown Love it. You soon learn how their thought processes have changed. My husband was so organized. He had a place for everything in it's place. Now all of his things are on part of the kitchen island i.e. all 6 pairs of his reading glasses in a perfect row, all 3 pair of his gloves etc. When he is in the bedroom or master closet I often go in an help him just so I know where he is putting things. The other day he came in and started complaining that the master closet cubbies were all taken by my things-only 2/3 of them. I cleaned out a bunch by his cubbies and now he has 21 of them and they are all empty. A couple of days later he asked me if I had thrown some of my clothes out. He then suggested I put some of my shoes in the cubbies-shoes I had put on floor when he complained about all of my things in the cubbies. Keeps you busy!
