Do opposites attract? Country singer Carrie Underwood, who rose to fame as the winner of the fourth season of American Idol, seems to be discovering that fact.
Underwood married Mike Fisher in the summer of 2010. After they married, the two continued a long distance relationship and didn't live together until last Winter. Fisher, a hockey player from the Ottawa Senators was traded to the Nashville Predators. Fisher packed up his Canadian house, and moved into Underwood's Nashville home. And Fisher brought a lot of baggage with him apparently. Underwood talked about her reaction to his challenge recently on the Ellen Degeneres Show (pictured below). The Grammy-winner explained that Fisher kept his "hoarding" tendencies under wraps at his former home:
“[My husband] had [the clutter] in all the guests bedrooms, and he had it boxed up and stuff. He’s like, ‘Babe, I need more space in the closet,’ and my heart just sinks.”
According to Underwood, Fisher continuously shops for clothes but won’t get rid of anything old, even if the clothes or items are stained and ruined. Sound familiar?
"Shirts and stuff...He loves to shop...He has stuff come in, and I'm like, 'It's not going out fast enough. If you bring stuff in, stuff needs to go out. Do we need this shirt? It has a giant stain on the sleeve. Are we going to wear this again? No, then do something with it.' It's still hanging up there!"
Carrie continued to complain to Degeneres about her husband by revealing that he doesn’t even keep all of his things organized. Instead, it all lays everywhere around the house.
We are not sure why dirty laundry needs to be aired publicly in this manner. A professional organizer with special training, education and resources can come to their rescue if Fisher wants to explore his personal, private challenges. Then, Underwood doesn't have to play the bad guy and be more kind, loving and supportive. Nagging will not change anything.
What do you think? Does Underwood have a case? Should Fisher have booted his baggage before moving to Tennessee?
