Oh!  Yes, that, I would agree with.  That's not the sort of thing I've
been dealing with in my life.  Only the OP can say which is closer to
the original situation...though now that I go back and reread it, the
original wording ("won't let them own anything that they want to own")
reads to me closer to what you say than to what I was talking about.

My partner would have been fine with my keeping the whole collection I
had when we met IF we had the space and money to keep it all.  I would
be fine with her keeping all the things she keeps that I see little
point in IF we had the space (and/or money, which we would convert to
space) for it all.

Yes, I would say that those who try to restrict what their partners own
and do not because of the pragmatics of it (such as space occupied) but
because they don't understand or don't share the emotional attachment
behind it, they are being excessive.

My apologies.  I was projecting my own situation onto what the OP said.
