AIBU to expect DH to clear out his stuff too?

[purplepopple]

We are having a clear out, old clothes, books, dvds, cds etc. I've managed to fill a large box with stuff I won't use again, we rarely watch DVDs now, don't have a cd player any more and we just read our kindles. Our house is small and cramped so I suggested to dh we get a box together for the charity shop, he has enthusiastically helped with my stuff (which it has to go so isn't a problem) but when it comes to his own stuff he is less enthusiastic, I have managed to persuade him to part with some DVDs, he has 4 shelves of books and none of these can go apparently.
AIBU to think his stuff should go too and any ideas of what I can do to persuade him to part with them?

I wouldn't throw out DH's stuff without his permission. He has a lot of stuff, especially books - our attic is converted and we've pretty much filled it with bookcases in which the books are now stored 2 deep and there are still some piles of books on the floor for which there is no shelf space. He has several copies of some books but won't part with them because they are valuable/ rare editions/ a few are signed. He keeps computer bits for ages after he upgrades, just in case he needs to build more computers with them I just let it go and clear out as much of my stuff and household stuff as possible, and am trying to keep his stuff consigned to that room as much as I can.

Shamelessly place marking as have the same problem. Managed to do it with clothes by "losing" them

Wow. Dh has several T Shirts I really dislike but I'd never dream of doing that. Can you imagine if a woman posted on here that her DH had 'lost' some of her clothes on purpose?

It happened. A woman posted last year that her husband had thrown out her beloved children's books. It was such a sad thread.

OP, I do think it's unfair you are actually clearing out and your husbands just storing his things. Is he going to get rid of anything?

Yes and no. He should check through and see what he is prepared to part with him but if he wants to keep them, that is his right.

I read, a lot, DH only owns a couple of books.

I'd be annoyed if he wanted me to get rid of my books, even if I have duplicates on kindle.

Don't know why really!

OMG I had forgotten that thread. It was actually quite upsetting to read.

I keep books. DD is now discovering new books that she would never come across through the book shelves in our house. You can't replace that experience with a kindle.

Yes, I recall now you've mentioned it Rhi
I think it's really really disrespectful. A clear out should be mutual.

That other thread was awful, and I would hope extreme in that nobody on here would think of that as acceptable.
Just to update, dh has parted with the cds (he has kept some for his car, absolutely fine) and dvds, he has even got rid of some books, he realised he had university textbooks that haven't been looked at since university!
Oh and we have agreed not to buy any more "stuff" so will see how long that lasts!
