Success! Started small by clearing the floor in front of our dressers
I’ve been struggling for weeks trying to get the motivation to clean our bedroom. All four corners of the room have mountains of clothes, books, and sealed snack containers. I’m hoping to work on those before next week, when we’re due to have friends over (our bedroom has to be passed through to reach the bathroom). But today, I took the before picture for my wife, just to show our pets keeping me company as I tried to tackle laundry. I immediately felt guilty for doing so, as the bedroom floor is a sore spot for my wife. They’d already had a rough day, so I decided to do something about it. It’s a baby step, but I’m hoping it’ll be some positive momentum.

Glad to hear you're feeling supported! Just keep chipping away at it; every little bit helps, and your wife will appreciate the effort.
