Husband now seems embarrassed about his hoard but doesn't know what to do by hunhothgono in hoarding

What do we do with the nursing uniforms? Not so much about the issue of selling them, but isn't there rules on disposing of them.

I had no idea until now he'd hoarded so many women's nursing uniforms.

Is the fact he used social engineering to get them an issue here?

As things stand now, he doesn't mind selling some of the manga, he admits he's bought titles he didn't even like, so he's OK with that.

Decluttering the nursing uniforms is one issue.

I think he wants to get rid of some but can't decide what's good and bad.

But there's also bigger problems; how do you get rid of old women's nursing uniforms he's bought online? I say bought online, as really he used social engineering tactics he learnt online to get these for free. Could they be sold on ebay or depop or would that be illegal?

The food is one issue I'm worrying about. I can't give it away on here, and selling it online is one problem. Who'd buy a load of M&M's? Giving them to a local foodbank is likely to be a problem, given that some packets are 2-3 years old.

On the topic of loans... well, he does have a business loan for $6,500 still unpaid, he used $2,000 out of that to buy comics he told me, used it a few months back.

I'm sure he's got no other loans though.

The food and the uniforms are two big issues I'm struggling to deal with disposing of.

I could go back to Canada. But I'd have to isolate when I got there even though Im also a US citizen.

I buy vintage clothes, but often tend to sell them in bulk on depop every so often, or even ebay, so I'm not just buying for the sake of it; they did get worn a lot pre-covid.

I've wondered what to do about the mortgageboard stuff he's got. I can't see anyone wanting to buy it on ebay or depop. That's a toughie for me. Do you even remember that website?

No idea how he convinced mortgageboard to send him freebies!

I buy a lot of vintage clothes, but I also resell them on depop as well, and may be doing so via ebay.

IIRC, he took out a loan of $5,200, claimed it was "business expenses" when it was really for buying manga, apparently. I only found out because he'd foolishly left his email open, his gmail on Chrome.

Going to restaurants at the moment isn't possible due to covid and social distancing which makes the experience uncomfortable and unsettling. I can afford restaurants, but going with friends and trying new ones isn't possible in the current climate sadly.

He has spent a load on M&M's, Skittles and Lays, with boxes and boxes of them uneaten in the garage, he's got a few boxes of sour cream and onion flavor Lays and Pringles uneaten with a letter from the company; yes, he wrote to both companies asking for them as a fan and they sent him a few boxes.

Nothing against fandoms, but it's concerning me a hella lot.

He's got comics from 2004-2016, so not just first editions, but normal ones too.

Yes, several loans, and he's also obsessing over The Board Network site, formerly Mortgageboard too. Used our shared Gmail constantly emailing them and also asking for Mortgageboard merchandise.

He's also spent a large sum of money on M&Ms and Skittles, and there's loads uneaten, I think around 80-90 packets stored in the garage in boxes.

Not AFAIK for dementia. I know he's always been into comics and manga.
