1. do whatever u have to do AND then close the door much cheaper than a divorce GL
2. An attractive screen,curtain or other hiding device.
3. Well your first problem is that you are asking this question to a random bunch of people instead of asking your own husband how to solve this problem. Where I come from we talk to our husband about things he does that bug us and try not to bring other people into it. But if you really can not talk to your own husband about this, there are obviously some deeper issues. I have a friend that went through something similar. I would try a marriage counselor or a church counseling session so you can work on your communication skills.
4. what the hell are you talking, you need to do it yourself that is a wife responsibility or you will wait until your husband bring his mistress to do it.
5. Just tell him it bugs you. There's no reason to make it such a big deal! It's a closet, it's gets on your nerves, he probably doesn't even know that it gets to you! Just talk to him.
6. My friendly advise would be not to take the risk of finding some thing in his closet that might effect your relationship. Secondly, let him do his own chores.
7. Tell him you'll DO his Laundry & clean his Closet- if he doesn't do it himself... (& that Pocket Change is YOURs! :) ). You won't sleep in a Dump.
8. If it is a chore you'd like to tackle, you could offer to organize the closet for your husband and see what he thinks. If he thinks his closet is fine as it is, accept it. Let him know that the sight bothers you, but you'd be happy if you could just close the door. Put that way, he'd probably not object to pushing things back further in order to close the door. My husband never seemed to find the time or the will to put his clothes away. I was already putting away mine and our 2 youngest children's plus the household laundry. Our older 2 put their own away. Since he didn't mind his clothes being in a basket, I gave him a clothes basket (and later a 2nd clothes basket) on his side of the bed tucked in an out-of-the-way place. That's where I put all of his clean clothes. He lived out of those baskets for about 2 years. It didn't bother him one bit, especially after he asked some male friends if their wives put their clothes away. They thought he was nuts! I let go. It didn't bother me as long as the towering baskets of clothes weren't the first thing I saw upon entering our room. Now my workload has changed with 3 children off to school. I happily put my husband's clothes away for him. He noticed and appreciates it. Should I ever need it again, I still have his 2 baskets!! :)
9. If you really want to do it , then do it. Also buy one of those mesh pop up hampers, and put it in a corner, and tell him to put his dirty close in there, he can also use it to bring down to the laundry and use it again to bring them up. But remember if you do it, he might expect you to do it all the time. Maybe that's why its a mess, hoping you will do it. Because he knows how it bothers you.
10. I think doing his laundry and closet when needed is part of house keeping. Maybe you need to put a small trashcan,clothes hamper and a container for his pocket change in there.
11. I put all dirty clothes I find in the hamper even if they are on the floor other then a jacket because it can be hang up by the person who left it there.
12. JUST DO IT! He won't even notice. If and when he does say 'wow doesn't that look nice now?'
13. Hang a curtain or a large sheet over the door so you dont have to see it. Or pick up the pocketchange and throw everything else in a garbage bag and leave it in his car.
