    @rowlandscastle444. No!  I didn’t mean that,  I wouldn’t sell them if they were mine but as it seems you may have to get rid of them to keep a peaceful household,  it was just a suggestion😀

    No problems @Lyn
    I take everything lightly, as I DID ask for opinions. My wife knows I don't want to part with them, and I know that something has got to go.

    I certainly won't allow my wife to make the decision!!

    Is her opinion not as valid as yours?

    @rowlandscastle444.  You could sell them and buy another house. 
    Thank you for the suggestion @Lyn
    You are obviously with my wife in this. 

    My idea is to take everything, and if I can possibly find space for my pictures, then I keep them. My heart can't let go of my collection. 

    Does anyone else have this problem?
    My OH was a bit like this @rowlandscastle444, but our/his need to move was more important than his stash of all things Art based and other items too.Theyvare just ' things' at the end of the day.🙂

    @punkdoc  😊 … Maybe what @rowlandscastle444 means is that his wife will make her decision … but he might decide not to go along with it … if he’s feeling brave 😉

    Yes, and based on logic and lack of historical architectural interest.
    My opinion is based on the heart, and the inability to part with stuff I've paid for, and forms part of a valuable collection.

    Good luck with that then, @rowlandscastle444 :)

    Something has to go.  That's either something that you love or the missus.  Tough decision. :D

    That would depend entirely on the situation.  If it was a subject on which she actually had no knowledge then it would not be as valid.  If I had a collection of valuable stamps but she thought they were junk and should be thrown out, should I accept her decision/opinion?
  • Depends on the criteria on which you’re going to base your decision 🤔
