The house is hers. I leave my shoes at the door. The garage is mine.Her shoes don't come in.
Do our garages really belong to us ?

2) I was actually able to tell her Exactly (drawer and location in the drawer) where the tools were I needed
Uh-Oh, I may be in trouble...
She pretty much stays out unless I need her to get me something, or she needs a rake or something.
I do the same. Step over this, duck under that. Jump over those and it is under these 3 things.
She stays out without me having to ask.

--shrug-- My ex and I shared the garage, but it went without saying (by either of us) that it was a *shop*, not a **** storage area. We had a loft we stored stuff on top of, but it was out of sight, out of mind. I'd have my projects on my benches, he'd have his on his... and all was copacetic and cool. (Of course, that was before he realized one of my projects was worth quite a bit of green and tried to sell it out from under me, but that's another story... 
)
Currently, my other half and I have the same arrangement. It's a shop, not a storage area. You want to store stuff, I want to store stuff, it goes in the storage shed, not in the shop. Even tho it's mainly my space (I call it my "girl cave" - lol - ) projects are cool in there, as long as we have room for them - and we don't trip over each other's shi... er... stuff.
What you guys need are girls who are more into turining wrenches. It makes for a much happier relationship!
(And while those Longaberger baskets are cute, I think I may even have owned one or 2, to my scarily practical mind they kind of failed the "Price = function" equation, plus I never had the space for them as a collectable, so I never got into them.)

Up until last week my garage was my only sanctuary... I came home one day during lunch to enjoy a refreshing bowl of Reeses Puffs. Wife started nagging at me. So I got up without saying a word, went into the garage, and continued to enjoy my cereal whilst standing. She followed me. Nothing is sacred.

My wife is my best friend and partner but we have found that each having their own space works best for us. In the house she has an office and I have an office (all the kids are grown and out of the house) and we like it that way.
We have a large garage attached to the house which is shared and functions as a project area and workshop for stuff around the house. We have another rock garage that is like an extended single that we have turned into her shop and she has her own work bench, I gave her my old Craftsman tool box and a cheap Husky roller, and she has a couple of nice green houses. I have a new 24'x32' pole barn shop that is located away from everything and I have about a half acre around it for parking various trailers and projects and then we share the basement and the drive in hay mow of the barn for storage and some bigger projects.
We help each other out and enjoy doing things together and I like being married to someone who shares a lot of the same interests. She even has two of her own garden tractors that she maintains (sometimes with a little help from me) and she is looking for an early to mid 60s project car of her own.
The best part? She is **** as hell and in 20 years I literally have only seen her in a bad mood one time and that was when I had to call her for bail money!
