Photography, Jealousy and Love: Dumpster diving

Dumpster diving

Today, my boyfriend found the box of photos I've been saving for my daughter. He was convinced I was pining over her father and emptied the box into the dumpster behind our apartment. I'm still not done digging through the garbage to find the photos from the day my daughter was born. FML

Today, my mom found a box full of stuff she had been looking for. She started going through it and found baby pictures of my sister and me, as well as pictures of the cats. She put my baby pictures back in the box and closed the lid. The cat pictures are now hanging in her living room. FML

Today, my parents dropped by my new house, and my mother offered to tidy up for me while I was out. After they left, I noticed that her "tidying up" included throwing out all the pictures of my girlfriend and replacing them with pictures of herself. FML

Today, my dad went through my room while I was out and threw away the "inappropriate pictures" that he found. They're the nudes I've been working on for art class. FML

Today, my wife can barely contain her rage at me for throwing out her collection of unique glass bottles, which she was saving for gifting and decoration. I'd feel more guilt if she hadn't been storing them in a box underneath our sink mixed with recyclables. FML

Today, I rummaged around in the attic, looking for old pictures of me and my family, so I could make a surprise collage. Instead, I found my dad's old journals, talking about how desperately he didn't want a kid, and how he wanted to leave my mother more and more every day that passed since I was born. FML

Today, I couldn't find my phone. Worried that I'd accidentally thrown it in the trash, I emptied out all the bins and searched the garbage. An hour later, my daughter said she'd found it by the bathroom sink. FML

Today, my 16-year-old daughter burned all her baby photos because they were unflattering and made her "look fat". FML

I think I would leave a partner that irrational!

Total disrespect for someone's property and boundaries is a classic sign of abuse, and combined with rabid jealousy, this doesn't bode well.

Wow, couldn't agree more. OP, once you're done getting the photos, you need to take another trip to throw the garbage out. You know, the douche bag.

And the serious talk needs to start with, "It's not me...it's you," and include the phrase, "Don't let the door hit you..."

What an absolute ********. I'm not saying flat out that you should dump his ass, but that at least a serious conversation is in order.

Honestly, no, she should leave him without discussion. Somebody who would take the initiative of destroying their partner's property and memories just because they (very irrationally) suspect they might have feelings for their ex is NOT in the right mental state to have a respectful and sane relationship.
