My husband knows how I feel. He is intensely against clutter of all sorts. We've lived in the house 30 years, so we have a lot of stuff. I've tried to understand and have gone to great lengths to de-clutter. There is still plenty more that should go, but it takes time and energy. At the moment, most of my stuff is in storage, because daughter and son-in-love moved in to save money and gathered my stuff and put it into storage. That was a blitzkrieg attack of its own. As for selling the china? No, my husband wants/sold it to my brother-in-law. Why he would want it, I have no idea. My guess he wants to sell it. My husband knows how I feel about it. It doesn't seem to matter. :-/ When he gets like this, it is his way and only his way. At this point, I just don't see the point in talking anymore. There is no way I can do anything or say anything right. My grandparents were amazing people who worked with the government and travelled the world. They had a house full of amazing things. They also had stuff from the family passed down through the generations. I was raised to appreciate the history. My husband see it as getting in the way..dust collectors, at best. This has been a fight (not the china specifically but the whole too much stuff) since we first got married. Yes, a therapist would be good. There are none within walking distance. Marriage counseling would be good, too. Husband will not even consider it. Honestly, I know divorce could be an answer, but I'm not into it. I'd rather just let the Lupus take me. Then all my stuff could be gotten rid of and I wouldn't have to deal with any of this. Husband was chatting this morning. Apparently he thinks a few days of silent treatment should have resolved all of this. I should talk, but I don't feel like being reasonable and that is what I will end up being. My left brain will take over. My INFP personality will try and make peace. I'm angry and I don't want to make peace, though.

Thanks all. It helps to know I'm not completely crazy to be upset about this.
