Hi

I am divorced and separated for 4 years and I am
moving to a new place with my lil one, I don’t have a great relationship with lil1s dad but he has been making an effort and we both do try.

Long story short, there has been many ups and downs and I have been really looking forward to move I have done a lot of clearing and decluttering and I decided to throw away all of my plates because a lot of them are chipped and I’d like to get new ones along with the chipped ones I threw away a decorative plate that was given to me by my ex, There is no accident I chucked it on purpose, It just reminded me of our old house etc.

so I put these things in heavy duty refuse sacks outside my garden that is shared with my neighbour and as it was quite heavy I didn’t take it to the dump straight away although I did eventually over the weekend I noticed that she took some plates out and the decorative plates and she set up a little greenhouse in the garden and recycled the plates for some of her plants which I don’t mind but it’s been bothering me that this bloody plate is sitting there I just want it to be gone, I think it’s crazy that it bothers me this much that she was going through my rubbish but then again it’s a relatively innocent thing to do am I completely unreasonable or is this something that with annoy people I just can’t think of many people who would go through other peoples refuse, it’s really petty and she is perfectly ok otherwise.

Tell me off pls I’m being silly ain’t I

Is this your old neighbour or your new one?

Old one

I think I'd ask her for that one back then (and then I'd smash it.) If it was your new neighbour you'd have to keep seeing her, but you won't have to with this one. Weird though to go through your bins!

Light11 · 27/03/2021 19:18

I think I am going to do it... to hell with it!

I'd just ask her to throw out that one, or take it inside where you won't see it. Tell her it has bad memories for you.

I'm just shocked people still put things like plates in the bin. Reuse recycle compost ..
Your neighbour is repurposing, that's great! She's saved you from adding to landfill.

Sorry, missed that this is your old neighbour. Do you mean that you will never see the plate once you are gone anyway? In that case you need to let it go I think! What's the difference if it is in her greenhouse or in landfill if you can't see it?

Light11 · 27/03/2021 20:11

It was going to the recycling center, presumably not landfill I don’t have an issue with the repurposing but I have a bit of a hang up on this silly thing case for letting it go but so satisfying to eliminate it..

Total mindfuck !
