Today, while I was at work, my husband threw out 50 out of my 70 T-shirts, all of my tank tops, and all but one of my sweaters. I'm not getting them back because they're burning in a bonfire in the backyard. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I went into work. After three years of working 55 hours a week, they fired me by putting the contents of my locker at the front door, with a note that said "If not picked up by 10:00 am stuff will be donated." I work the night shift. I just lost three sweaters, two pairs of shoes, $60, and my job. FML
Today, the dry cleaner next to my house went up in flames. I went outside to look at the fire, as I looked on in amazement I realized I had dropped off all of my work clothes at the cleaners two days before. I was supposed to pick them up today, but was too lazy to walk the 10 feet to the store. FML
Today, while sorting through my clothes, I found one of my ex's old sweaters. After a lot of thought and difficulty, I threw it out. I felt empowered, until my father later rifled through my trash and claimed the sweater for himself. FML
Today, I put all my clothes into two piles. One pile had clothes I usually wear, the other clothes I wanted to donate. When I was done, I put the piles into two jumbo trash bags. I came back a bit later and they both were gone. My mom donated both bags. I have no clothes. FML
Today, while cooking dinner, I managed to set my oven mitt on fire. In my panic, I tried to throw it in the sink, but it landed on a stack of t-shirts, which were lying on the counter. Both the mitt and my favorite Sonic Youth t-shirt now have matching burn holes. FML
Today, I threw all my clothes into the washer, including my favorite red hoodie. Apparently, I forgot a Kleenex in one of the pockets. I now own a wardrobe of pink, soggy tissue confetti-covered gunk. FML
Today, I found out that my wife has been getting rid of every single item of clothing I didn’t compliment her on. This has probably cost me thousands already. FML
Today, my husband, who repairs appliances for a living, repaired our dryer. One lot of wet clothes later, it caught fire and ruined the laundry room. FML
Today, I got home and found all my things thrown out into the yard, including the stuff from my mancave, which I spent thousands of dollars on. Apparently, my girlfriend stopped for a visit while my wife was home. I’d stupidly given her a key. Turns out my wife called out sick today. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend his shirt and pants did not match and that he should change for dinner. All my belongings are now on the sidewalk. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

OP, Clearly there is more to the story than this. Please let us in on it.

While he is enjoying that "bonfire" I would enjoy his credit card and replace your belongings.

What's his side of the story? You seem to want to hide that. Maybe they're shirts that your ex-boyfriend bought for you or something. Tell us.

Guess it’s time to throw out the husband.

Yeah he shouldn't have done that but why the **** DID you have 70 shirts?

You had 70 t-shirts?

I suggest bringing this behavior up to the judge during the impending divorce proceedings.

Do you honestly need THAT many clothes? Hell, I have 7 t-shirts, one for each day IF I don't wear one 2 days in a row.... I'm surprised he didn't do the same with your shoes (which I'm assuming you're hoarding as well)

There's definitely more to this story. I'm guessing that either there was no space for all those clothes or that a lot of them were in a rather sorry state but OP refused to throw them out. Burning the clothes is such an extreme reaction that it does seem like the husband wanted to make sure they wouldn't find their way back into the house (again). Or maybe OP's husband is a dick.

maybe he got tired of having no closet space that had clothes that were probably never worn.

ok but SEVENTY T-SHIRTS?? Maybe he snapped. Who owns 70 of any clothing item, apart from collectors? How do you store them all? I don't think I have a grand total of 70 clothing items. I couldn't stick sharing living space with someone who has 70 tshirts.
