Very interested in the replies. I'm in the same boat.

 

This part from Geist is really helpful to me

But if he really is a hoarder, trying to make a deal and having him limit himself to one room isn't going to work either because the stuff and getting it and having it is way more important to them than a deal with an SO

 

My DH and my 8 yo DD struggle with the same attachment to stuff and anxiety and so often I get the advice to "just limit it to X space." I kept thinking I was a failure for not making that work and enforcing it, but really, it just doesn't work too well with severe anxiety!
