[QUOTE="M31243, post: 728276, member: 22801"] Changing in the garage would have been a perfect solution after that initial dirty laundry was washed. I don’t think my husband was open to compromises, unfortunately. He was unable to view the arrangement as temporary. We married only 4 yrs ago and I moved into his home. He has never gotten used to sharing his space with me, much less welcoming a temporary guest, even if it’s my son. My husband falls somewhere on the autism spectrum and is a hoarder. He has manic spells that last hours and because he is still not speaking and adamant about his feelings, I believe that he is “stuck” on the feeling he has right now and can’t shake it. That has to be the answer because, at 62, he is an early retiree who works carpentry at his leisure while I work full time and carry our health, vision and dental insurance. If he had any sense, he’d have been in that spare bedroom tucking my son in with a warmer blanket instead of making him feel unwelcome. We already had issues In the marriage. This situation has not helped things. I am grateful for your comments. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
