He threw my mooncup away!!

[HitsAndMrs]

DH thought it was rubbish apparently
Aibu to be annoyed?!
Do all men throw away your precious things or is it just mine?

My DH has all his old CDs (which he has digital versions of on 2 hard drives), trophies, medals etc from junior school and socks with multiple holes - which he refuses to part with because they are his. And yet. My hair clips, brush, deodorant, make up, letters, the nappies, nappy sacks - literally anything useful that he comes across (even when it is in the place it is supposed to be) is casually binned and forgotten about.
We then have the "have you seen my xyz" and DH without thinking about it for even half a second "nope, it's probably where you left it". We've even had that conversation with him holding the thing I'm looking for and then him saying "oh this, I thought it was rubbish, was just going to bin it... Do you still want it then?"

This thread is making me anxious because I live with a hoarder who would say I am throwing away his precious things even when they are 20 year old gas bills and broken bits of plastic. I try so hard not to hoard and keep things tidy but he values every little bit of crap. Sometimes he goes though the bins to check if anything has gone!

I can't believe the PP whose OH threw out the DVD player and the Ipod dock. We still have windup gramophones and broken radios from the 1920s and 1950s here!

No way topofthecliff! I can't stand bit of paper taking in space.

These blokes hoarding their own stuff while chucking your stuff away might as well come right out and admit that they think their stuff is more important.

My DH binned part of my arrow fletching jig when we moved, he thought it was a wierd long bulldog clip, which in itself sounds incredibly useful. I guess I was lucky he didn't lob the whole thing as he'd never seen me use it and it does look a bit strange

Lord knows what he'd make of a mooncup...

yep I have one of those.
I've seen mine pick up the little basket where he leaves all sorts of things ( packets of chewing gum, screws and other valuable bits of ironmongery which just need to be put back where they fell from ...) and tip the contents into the bin.
Then the cupboard door won't close and he needs to go out and spend a fortune on a new latch because he threw one half of the previous one away ...
He drives me up the walls.

... and all the bills, letters, which we actually need to keep. They often go on top of the bin, then the lid gets lifted up and hey presto, the letter falls straight in, through the back of the lid.
I've seen it happen many times and I suspect that's why many important documents go missing or " never arrived".
I don't trust him with anything. He also loses things ( 5 pairs of glasses, two prescription ones included, over 6 months ) and breaks things. He's great.

oh yeah. DH has he cleaning urge every so often, and bins anything in sight. I then have to go through the bin bags and rescue stuff. He says he didn't know what 'it' was, but I've retrieved cutlery, hair slides, brand new toys, books etc. I understand he gets p*ssed off with clutter, but I do think he knows what a fork is...

top tbf it took me about 9mths to notice the DVD player gone, when I went to do my annual exercise DVD session.
We had our TV wall mounted and he couldn't cope with the unsightliness of it after that. Funnily, he can put up with the football sky box & its attendant wires & leads perfectly happily.

OH has occasionally thrown away things of mine but its rare. I can't complain to him though because I once threw away 200 euros of his!! (He had decided to keep a rainy day fund in an old medicine jar, which I threw out because I picked it up and it was light like it was empty because of course four 50 euro notes don't weigh much)

He's actually denying all knowledge now.
