Dumpster diving

By rummaging - 18/05/2016 13:46 - United States - Bloomington

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

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.

The ****? If English is your native language, you should be ashamed of yourself. Oh, and yeah, there definitely aren't people out there who are just plain abusive nutjobs. No sir, OP DEFINITELY did something to provoke it, no question. Mhm-hmm.

There isn't anything she could do to warrant him ******* up her daughters stuff.

There're probably drunk people who can write a more coherent sentence than what you just wrote.

@17 - To be fair, it does sound like he didn't know it was her daughter's stuff and thought OP was keeping the photos cause she misses her ex. That's still no reason to throw them out though.

look, even i think that the girl should leave the peice of shit boyfriend. two sides, or one, it doesnt matter. what he did is... no.

So you are 100% positive that she hasn't done anything to warrant this behavior from him? Amazing how you are able to completely read 2 people with just a few sentences

@75 it doesn't matter if she did anything because NOTHING warrants childish behaviour like that. I would dump someone for throwing out my belongings, meaning they were going through my belongings without my permission in the first place, without talking to me about it. Not only that, but the OP said that she was rummaging through the trash trying to find photos from her daughter's birth which heavily implies that the photos included baby photos. This guy is an asshole for the way that he handled it.

@69 Yeah, you're right because it's not like he could have talked to her like a rational adult would do.

I really hope you're joking. If so, shitty joke. If no, you're a dick

I dislike people who judges other people based on their past relationships, if he is mature enough to know why you had all those photos then he is worth having you and your daughter. Otherwise leave his ass.

I don't usually jump on the "dump him" bandwagon, but.... Dump him. He sounds posessive and irrational, which can quickly lead to abusive behavior.

Your boyfriend sounds like a ******* asshole. I hope you find all the photos he disrespectfully threw out, OP.

Dump him! If he doesn't respect precious photos like that, he most certainly won't respect you!

dump him. this may be the first time he has exhibited behavior like this, but it certainly will not be the last.

that "boyfriend" seems like a total jerk!!! I wouldnt date a guy who made me get rid of cherished memories!!! D:<

******* dump his immature and stupid ass. If it bothers him so much maybe he should've cut out the father of your daughter but even then, he has no right to do that

Wait, are you some how suggesting that mutilating the photos with scissors would be any way better? OP's daughter has a right to know her father and OP's boyfriend gets absolutely no say in that.

He has no right to destroy her property.

Dump his ass and never look back at him, his actions will only get worse.

Whoa I would kick his insecure, immature, controlling ass into the dumpster after you find the photos and not look back for one second. That is completely unacceptable and a sign of much worse to come.
