Shoes
I'm moving in with my SO in less than 30 days. As a single childless woman with a great job, I have a lot of clothes and shoes. I donated most of the clothes but kept all the shoes. I don't want to donate the rest of my heels. Give me advice and strength, fellow Steptalkers. I have about 50 pairs that I have to make room for.

If I were you I would use
If I were you I would use those shoes to run for the hills rather than move in with an SO who has children. Thats the only advice i can give you. Get these shoes on and get out like Speedy Gonzales
If you are still intent on doing this to yourself, I think what you can do is find some storage solutions specifically designed for shoes in tight spaces. There are many available on amazon
BUT I still think you are better off using them to run away from steplife
Lol

This is my general advice these days to women thinking of getting serious with a man with kids. Still, if you're going through with it, perhaps there is some storage option for under the bed or a back of the door hanger?
Literally hahaha its like
Literally hahaha its like burying yourself in a casket while still being alive. I cant in good conscience tell her any advice that will end up harming her sorry! I wish someone had told me so Im trying to pay it forward, if i can save one soul i would feel better
Indeed specific storage solutions such as under the bed or behind the doors seem to be best.

If DH's place isn't big enough for your clothes and shoes,
If DH's place isn't big enough for your clothes and shoes, you need to get a bigger house. Seriously, why should you have to give up personal belongings in order to move in with him? Have his girls come around to the idea of you moving in?
No they haven't.
No they haven't.
I would not move into a space
I would not move into a space that wouldn't suit my needs.. You have a great space now.. plenty of room for your things...
Have his daughters come around to your moving in? Have you thought about pumping the brakes on moving until they are both off to school..? That might mean you could either look for a new home without worrying about school districts.. or at least.. there would be a bit more space in the home with less people occupying.
Another solution is to rent a small storage unit. You could keep seasonal wardrobe things.. and extra shoes.. and any other keepsakes that you won't have room for.. it might be a small extra expense.. but having your things in a safe space.. and nothaving to get rid of things you love.. might be worth it.
A storage unit is a great
A storage unit is a great idea. He can put his ugly couches in it and buy new ones. And my shoes can stay at our place.

Thanks everyone for reading.
Thanks everyone for reading. I made this post in an attempt to be lighthearted about the move.
I do really have a shoe problem, but at least I don't have a teenage girl problem.
As an enabling man in love with a couture loving shoe and purse
woman, I get it.
Our home has a huge main BR closet that is 85+% her stuff including a ton of shoes and purses.
What is reality in my shoe and purse invaded life is that when any of them go away, the magically regenerate in the form of new styles and couture brands.
