Why do break ups happen? How do you live with a hoarder? Can AI improve your marriage? Doug goes to the mailbag answering these questions and more.

Listener questions and comments:

• Christine - I want to give you a solution: A friend of mine said that they made a very small area and her husband could be messy there. (17:41)
• Mike - I am a hoarder and I would like to tell you how it is good. (28:56)
• Rita - I am a retired therapist and my suggestion is that for the things you feel you can’t throw away, taking pictures help. (30:51)
• Ken - I have a first communion garment that I don’t want to give to my nephew. Am I a hoarder for this? (35:00)
• Jason - I think AI is a good mediator. It’s like a father but doesn’t get mad. (37:00)
• Mike - It depends how you use the AI. If you put in negative prompts it will skew towards what it thinks you want. (37:50)
