My 81-year-old husband won’t part with things he hasn’t used in decades
After a move five years ago, he only parted with a few coats — now any attempt to clear more prompts refusal and upset.
Dear Eric: My husband and I are retired. We have been married for 29 years. In the last several years he has refused to get rid of anything.
We downsized five years ago. During the move I was able to get him to donate some coats he could not wear but that was about all.
