So I told my girlfriend today (2 years of live in relationship, 10 years prior. We are 26 and 27) that it's time to clean all the random clutter in the house that is considered "decorative". What I mean by this is all the random "neat" items that we collect over the years in our late teens and early twenties and use to "decorate" our living quarters. She did not take that shit lightly and told me i'm being heartless to her emotions. I will admit, I told her it was time for us to grow up and organize our living quarters like Mature Adults. Yes, this is up for scrutiny as "organizing and living like adults" is ones own interpretation BUT she never wants to have company over because the house is always so "cluttered". Organized clutter to be more precise. She left my work in lite tears and QUITE upset. The -blam!- do I do EDIT: I do not want to throw anything out. I simply want to box a lot of the clutter up and put it out of site. I'm sick of seeing a billion seashells all over the place
