A female United States age 51-59, *ARIASEC writes:

All the issues my husband has with me surround my kids who he says basically just lives here, they have no rights in his eyes, this is our house not the kids.We have a 3 car garage, which my husband wants to keep like a living room. He has a tv, a rocking chair, work bench and tools in there. He eats and drinks his beer in there, watches hours of tv, and reads his paper and smokes in their. He has a fan for the summmer and a heater for winter. My son has his tools, ATV on a trailer, fishing equip. and sometimes comes home with something else he bought or found. Husband feels he should not have this space, he also expects me to limit the stuff I keep there too. He is constantly trying to get rid of my stuff and my sons to give him more space and for it not to look like storage or to his disliking. This he feels is his private space and no one should infrindge upon it. He even wanted a phone in there. I dont have a room that is all mine where I can hide paperwork or receipts I don't want him to see (he does) He goes there when he is giving the silent treatment and refuses to deal with anything. I don't have that, should our garage be his domain? Whatever he keeps in there is fine, everybody elses stuff should be limited to none in his eyes.

flower girl agony auntI personally think this is one very selfish man the house, garage and everything else belongs to the both of you so he has no right to say what goes in there and what does not, and as for your children he knew about them when you got together and i can't understand why no matter how much you love him if you still do you would let him be like he is with your son, was reading the post you put on the other day and he really should not treat your son like he does, i think you need to sit down and think hard about how you actually feel about this man now and think about wether you really want to be with someone that treats you and you children as what sounds like lodgers.

Take care.xx.

Well, he sounds like a nice guy doesn't he. Any idea what you're doing with such a totally self-centred and ignorant gob-shite? You need to take the garage back and ensure everyone in the family has equal access to it. I know we all need a little privacy from time to time but he's taking it to ludicrous extremes and excluding his own family from not only the garage, but effectively from his life while he's parked his fat a*se in there.

I wouldn't put up with it any longer if I were you.
