I guess I just don't understand the thrill of hoarding. I buy what I want to use and I use it. And for sure with 100% certainty, I would never stay married to someone I had to hide stuff from.
But that's just me.
OMG - I wish I was born with your "buy only what you need" genes - unfortunately I am a second generation hoarder with a tad of depression mixed in- I love fabric - I love the smell of it, the bright colors and beautiful patterns - they make me feel happy - & a better alternative to taking anti depression meds.
To to quite honest -I have a good marriage, we will be married 37 yrs August 10th - he is not only my husband, but my best friend as well - that being said - I really don't want my bubble burst with a "What did you buy now?" or "What's in all the boxes that came in the mail?"- a couple of large flat rate boxes stacked at the door - will be hid - sometimes!!
Yes, he plays golf - I play with fabric
