Hmmm, that avoidance of dealing with boring junk stuff is familiar in my neck of the woods too. My H is soooooo keen for me to be financially independent and has given me much grief over the issue, yet when I tell him he needs to come to such and such office to sign papers putting the bills in my name, he acts like he is doing ME a huge favour!
All his stuff, bar personal things he needs, is still in the house, one year after separation.
We also had a car that was not fit for the road parked outside our old garage for seven years before H was forced to deal with it when we sold our old place. I decided that since I wasn't responsible for getting it there, it shouldn't be my responsibilty to remove it, so it stayed all those years.
Let me get on to something positive now.... Glad you had a great vacation, I and D are heading out to our long one at the end of next week!
