H has a workshop he goes to every day. He has a tendency to bring mugs from home and they then lie festering there. I found a mug someone had given me full of mould. This morning he tried to take the same mug with him (but I poured his tea into a different mug). Just now he has popped back in and was about to take a mug given to us by our dd. I asked him if he could take a different one and he said no and nor was he going to do anything about bringing it back (when i said could he bring it back). I also this morning found a 3rd mug - that dd received in her stocking - on the floor of his van rolling around with tools etc...
I have a problem with nostalgia but he has a stash of his own "anonymous" mugs at his workshop so what is the problem with bringing things back? He says if I want them I can go and get them.
It didn't help that he then tried to take a teatowel given to me by my mum who died 9 years ago and I asked him not to take it. If he was the kind of person who returned things then yes but all that would happen would be that it would fester at his workplace, probably be used to clean the floor and then be binned.
I could buy a whole load of blank mugs for when he wants to drink tea in the van but he is not the kind of person who listens.
I know this is a non problem or probably a smokescreen for the fact that there is no affection between us (and for a long time I minded his distance from me and the fact that he never touches me - I made more of an effort to be close to him - but I have oddly stopped caring ) but am wondering if anyone else has a problem with being sentimentally attached to things?
