How to get Lydia Out of my house?

Question

Why has Lydia also moved into my home ?

I bought breezehome and move into it, furnished, and with my new wife. I have not used Lydia as a follower for some gaming weeks now. However she has decided to make herself at home and pretty much moved in !!

Any advice please before I get wife trouble ....

Answer

Lydia's your housecarl (bodyguard), and lives in Breezehome. Outside of possible console solutions, there's really only two ways to get her to move elsewhere:

  1. Recruit her into the Blades; my understanding is that she'll then make Blades HQ her home when she's not following you.
  2. Marry her and move into another house you own. Not really an option for you at this point, however, as you're already married.

Your only other option, I think, is to simply accept that you and your wife have a live-in bodyguard thanks to your position as Thane of Whiterun. It's not really anything for the wifey to get upset about -- Lydia even has her own separate bedroom! In fact, having a housecarl is definitely a sign of honor and privilege, so your wife should be rather pleased with the situation!
