Her mom cried because the 50" tv might be to big for new bedroom. We have resources to remedy with any possible solution.
I am not giving these first world problems enough attention

I bet she posts on Facebook “If you can’t handle me at my worst, then you don’t deserve me at my best” before the day is over.

Sooooo I’m guessing you aren’t trying to bail on 10 years of marriage over a tv, some furniture and a china set you don’t want. And she’s refusing the storage unit idea because of something more.
What’s the real story?

Typical baw response.
Op, make it work. Fix yourself and get some help, then work on fixing your bride.
I can't stand stupid arse guys who are too proud to make their marriage work.

The mother in law is a force of nature and if I let her she will emotionally manipulate my wife into doing things we as a couple don't agree to.
My wife tries to make everyone happy and the mother in law wields that like Excalibur
So I say no and then my wife gets crushed in the middle

Get a hotel and chill for a few days. If you are happy you did that after 3 days, get out. It is a good barometer.

Just cut the bullshite. She’s a hoarder and it’s driving you fricking crazy isn’t it? Did you draw a line and demand some of her shite go and when she refused you tried to compromise with a storage unit?

tell her to take some of her mom's things that are memorable. tell her to offer to help her mom have a big garage sale and advertise on FB marketplace. tell her you do not want your home like the show hoarders, it is unhealthy.

He doesn't seem unhappy overall. Sounds like he cares for his wife but she's stressed and taking it out on him. Him and his wife seem a little...dim, but they don't seem like bad people. But when you lack the ability to be introspective or come up with normal,
everyday solutions to simple problems - life is more difficult.
OP should tell his wife he cares for her but tell her the truth about the mother situation and what his concerns are. Pledge to work it out with her regardless - I'm sure she doesn't want to be in this spot.

If that’s what is causing you to want to go spend the night in a hotel then you should go because that is a pretty minor thing for most people. Is there a lot of unhappiness in other areas and this is being used as the scapegoat? Hoarding a bunch of stuff is not worth fighting enough to stay in a hotel room for me. I’d tell her the stuff or me and let her choose. She’ll choose you.

Your wife made vows to you, not her mother/sister.
I have a very over bearing mom who created MASS chaos in my first marriage because I was trying to make everyone happy. My mom had conditioned me to appease her always and that was a very hard thing to realize. The only thing that broke the hold she had over me was to move several states away and she could hold nothing over my head. I also have the only grandkids and the thought of keeping them away from her toxicity keeps her in line.
Long story to say that until your wife makes some waves with her family instead or you or you as a couple make some big decisions, there will always be more than you two in the marriage.
