DH and the bloody sodding double garage!!!

DH and I had a bit of a set to yesterday.
We rarely argue but he drives me mental over the double garage!

When we bought the house we were so excited about the amazing storage space. We don’t keep cars in it as have a large private drive.

But EVERY.SINGLE.TIME I suggest we put something in the garage DH reacts like I’m asking him to drop it directly on his testicles.
Moaning, groaning, eye rolling and complaining. Muttering under his breath and claiming there’s ‘no room’ and he’s ‘fed up’ with it being such a mess.

There is plenty of room. Lots of floor space and easy to walk around in.

It’s a mess because DH uses it for all his stuff and doesn’t tidy it but it’s nowhere near ‘full’ or even ‘cluttered’.

There are several piles of things that need taking to the tip. I’m pregnant and they’re too much for me to move alone but DH never gets around to it and just seems to enjoy complaining.

I’ve suggested he get a skip in (there’s not enough to justify it- but the way he talks you’d think he’d fill 15) but again he’s not organising it- just complaining.

Does anyone else’s DH get this possessive over the blooming garage?

Yes my DH is the same. He spend hours rearranging and boxing stuff in there. It is hard to get past security and store anything unless it is a powertool or a screw.

He also has form for taking over other spaces including an open outbuilding which I came home to find doors had been fitted to it and it had been filled with more tools and stuf

Posted too soon. I haven't vacuumed under the bed for a while but decided to the other day. A collection of drills and toolboxes had migrated from the garage. He was worried they may get stolen. Grin

Yep - we have double garage DH likes free of clutter. Cars never go in as we have big drive, he just likes the garage space tidy. He couldn't care less if the house is tidy (I do), but the garage is a sacred man space.
He doesn't freak out about it - just keeps bringing things out the garage for me to find a space for indoors 😂 Em - no, garage is for storage.
