AIBU?

Boyfriend sold my stuff

I don’t live with my boyfriend but we spend a lot of time together and have stuff at each other’s houses.

He has been having an eBay clear out and informed me today that he had sold some of my stuff. I had given him a few things to sell for me but he has taken other things and sold them!

I’m upset about this but he doesn’t seem to understand my issue.

AIBU?

Of course you’re not unreasonable!

Tell him you want the items he had no permission to sell replacing!

CodenameVillanelle · 03/08/2020 09:08

What the fuck?
This is not normal behaviour from him!

DemiL · 03/08/2020 09:14

I mean it’s not high value stuff and I hadn’t used it in a while but that’s not the point is it? He’d be really annoyed if I sold his stuff without telling him.

Oh and another thing - he never gives me the money for my stuff!!

This is a sign of mental disorder in some people. My ex’s mother went through a phase of selling his stuff, in conjunction with many other weird behaviours. Not saying it is your bf’s case.

So...he’s stealing from you? Why are you still with him?

OdaMaeBrown · 03/08/2020 09:16

What stuff was it?

DemiL · 03/08/2020 09:17

A handbag and some dresses.

Go demand the money for your stuff or a replacement, pick up anything you still have at his and dump it

MusicWithRocksIn1t · 03/08/2020 09:17

The man not your stuff

DemiL · 03/08/2020 09:17

All brand new I might add!

OneWomanOneDog · 03/08/2020 09:18

He's selling your shit and not giving you the money for it? In the words of mumsnet, he'd better have a magic penis.

DemiL · 03/08/2020 09:18

He’d better give me the money today because yes it seems he’s attempting to make a profit from my stuff and con me out of cash.

He did a shitty thing and cannot see why it is shitty?

Maybe you should burn all the things that he has left at yours.

pickingdaisies · 03/08/2020 09:20

What!!!! I have no words!!!

Tappering · 03/08/2020 09:20

You know that's stealing, right?

Get the cash off him and then dump.

LovingLola · 03/08/2020 09:20

Get your money and get rid of him.

SteelyPanther · 03/08/2020 09:20

If he doesn’t get your issue - and why should he as he is financially benefitting - he isn’t going to stop doing it.
So you either suck it up, don’t leave stuff at his, or finish with him.
Easy.

Nottherealslimshady · 03/08/2020 09:23

So he's stolen off you. How dare he take your stuff, especially new, to sell. With no intention of giving you any money. He need to replace them. No doubt he sold them for less than you paid.

CalmdownJanet · 03/08/2020 09:28

Get the money and run for the hills. What did the thieving fucker say when you told him he had no right yo sell your things?

Lifeisabeach09 · 03/08/2020 09:29

As PP have said, he stole from you.

This man does not respect you.

MyOwnSummer · 03/08/2020 09:37

How long have you been together, OP? Is he selling things because he is desperately short of money? Is he tight with money on other things, like dates etc?
