To think DP shouldn't throw my new clothes on the floor?

I got some money for christmas and I decided to buy myself some new clothes. Things have been really tight for us finantially lately so being able to buy these clothes meant alot to me. Anyway when I went to get a shower I left them (a new cardigan and some new jeans) folded on the clothes basket.

Then DP went in to get a shower and just chucked them on to the floor where it was wet and then stood all over them with wet feet when he got out of the shower. I got really annoyed with him and he said its my own fault for leaving them in the bathroom??

Hmmmm im inclined to agree with him they should hve been hung up out of the bathroom unless they were for washing.

He probably didn't register they were your new clothes & just saw them as something in his way or to dry his feet on.

If I'd have done that to his clothes though he would have willy-slapped me. New or not. Why put them on a wet floor anyway? why would anyone do that?

Is he generally a bit clumsy and unthinking? Or do you think he was making a point that he doesn't approve of you buying new clothes?

He doesn't tend to respect anything and thinks I will just sort everything out. Thats why he leaves all his own clothes on a pile on the toilet, because he knows I'll move them

Hmm. Dropping your new clothes on the wet floor and treading on them is a bit excessive, though. That;s not just moving things that are in your way. ANd if he never puts his own clothes in the laundry basket anyway, why did he have to move yours?

OK this could be an isolated incident, everyone does silly, careless and mildly spiteful things now and again. But if you start to see a pattern of petty little meannesses (trampling your new clothes into a wet floor, breaking your favourite crockery by 'accident', borrowing your things and losing or damaging them, especially if it's added to little snide remarks and unreliability such as making you late for things you want to do) then it could be a sign that your relationship is in trouble.

It wasn't a nice thing to do imo.

"Thats why he leaves all his own clothes on a pile on the toilet, because he knows I'll move them " - You should stop picking up after him you're not his mother. He behaves like this because you allow him too.

Surely this is not really a big deal? Of course he leaves his clothes out for you to move- you move them don't you?

YANBU, later today you should have a really sad face and say "I would have loved to have worn my new clothes but they were just so wet" and sigh deeply,that should get him

Make him a lovely cup of frothy coffee, and do not forget to put loads of laxative in it.
