I can not move them out to the garage as it is unheated and they would be ruined out there. I have asked her a few times what she wants and she does not respond. I get the feeling she wants them all gone. Same with magazines. I read a lot about cars and have magazines around to read, next to the bed, next to my chair, in the bathroom, etc.. She keeps moving them all to one place so I have to go hunting for the one I was reading and set down for a few minutes. Maybe I am reading this all wrong, I was so used to the "bachelor" decor that the feminine touch is now getting on my nerves? I am not sure what to do at this point. Just getting this written helps some. Sorry to bother you all.
I think your complaints are valid because it has been your space for so long and no someone new is attempting to change that. I think change in general is hard for all of us because it can make us feel out of control. Hang in there and maybe you can compromise.
