His and hers, yours and mine, do two or more people live in your house?

My husband and I have been married for 27 years and we still have some seperate stuff, meaning items we do not share, including clothes of course. He has his tools, his guitars, his music, his friends and I have my books, my keyboard, my music, my arts and craft supplies, my sewing materials, my genelogy research, and my friends. Our basement is like two rooms and is divided down the middle it was like this when we moved in. One side is consider his side and the other side is consider mine. His side has become his workshop where he has to store his items that he is not currently using and my side is where the laundry room is, and where i have for storage of items I am not currenyly using. We do share some music tastes but we have a much larger difference in music likes than we share. We did at one time have couples who where friends of both of us but since most has fallen away, some because they are no longer together and some dropped away from us when my husband became seiously ill. We share a car but I drive more than him because his health prevents him from driving most times. We consider everything else in our home "ours" and place no signifigance on who brought it into the house. We have an empty bedroom upstairs now and are currently battling for ownership. I want it for a sewing room/office, he wants it for a music/hobby room. We will likely end up comprimising and sharing it as well but since it is only a small room we will likely end up moving my desk & sewing stuff in there, his guitars and stuff and decorate it with his hobby stuff. It will probably turn into a very unique room, lol.

There are 4 of us in the house which includes my parents and my brother. With so many people staying under one roof, there has got to be my stuffs, his stuffs and her stuffs. We don't usually share everything except for some utensils during meal times. Other than that, we have our own personal items such as towels, toothbrush and cups. However there's this bad habit of my father, he does not use his own cup at all. Whichever he sees, he will wash it before using it. There are so many times I caught him using mine and he even broke my cup once before!! Does it matter to differentiate, my, his or her when somebody in the house is not abiding to it at all.

My husband has one entire extra bedroom, which is on the bottom level of the house, full of his softball equipment. He coaches and keeps most of the balls and bat bags at our house along with coolers and anything else you can imagine. I have part of one bedroom upstairs loaded with yarn and craft patterns. The yarn is against the wall in containers and the patterns are in small, plastic containers under the bed in that room. My things are neat and well arranged but his softball things are not. They are piled almost to the ceiling. I also have a record collection on a different level of the house stored in a very large tv cabinet. Have several long playing albums of Ike and Tina Turner and alot of 45's from the 1960's. The stereo and turntable are also stored in this cabinet. Everything is neat and in place. I wear some of his old softball shirts to bed during the summer months.

My husband and I have so many things different, we shouldn't even be called a couple..He doesn't eat with me, like my son does, so I share more with my kid..:(

I am back with my daughter and her son. We each have a bedroom. Sometimes he will wear a shirt of hers but mostly we have all things seperate. I have a car that I use to take myself and them places. We all share money that comes in as well. It works pretty well what there is of it.

There are two girls and my b/f that lives in my house. With my oldest girl, there is nothing truely mine anymore..LOL...my makeup,my clothes, my shoes, all of these she gets into. The good thing is that I can wear her stuff too so haa...I can aggravate her too...as far as my little one..well...she has her hampster and books..and her special snacks that she likes...my b/f has a mancave downstairs and a recliner that he doesn't like to share..LOL.

We married at an older age, and I own the house.I keep trying to get his name on it, but some of the paperwork still is not that way. We have several vehicles, but none of them are exclusively mine.My name is on all of them. Of course he takes care of them all. We have lots of OURS stuff, but he does not always respect my stuff as being mine. That is okay. I tend to relinquish my stuff and my space to whoever needs it, like my son who is thirty three and has had to move back in. He never really got all of his stuff out.Each of us has a shed in the yard, but I have some of my son's stuff in mine, as well as some stuff that is "ours". The big deal is that the new laptop is mine. I have offered to share, but we have a laptop that is ailing but works and a desk top that is old but in really good shape.He says he has no need to use it.

The roomie and I have a number of things we share, but we know they are the other person's... for example, they are her video tapes and DVDs, tho I have a few of my own. We can't share pants but we can share shirts, except I only wear shirts with collars these days because of my cell phone bag so those are all mine! The other roommate, well, she barely tolerates sharing the fridge and keeps her stuff separate!

My husband and I definitely have a few 'yours and mine' things/areas. We have separate laundry hampers and closets. Hampers are separate because his clothes get dirty and greasy from work and I don't want it to get on mine. We have separate closets because there is simply no way they would all fit in one! We also have separate garages, which I LOVE but somehow his things keep appearing in my garage. It's nice because he can keep his fancy truck and toys in his shop as well as all his tools and things like that and I can keep all my gardening and outside stuff in my little garage. It's nice to have a little potting bench and all my tools at hand and in their own spots. Now, if he would stop putting 'his' junk in 'my' garage it would be perfect!
