Sock it to me

By Vacation over - 02/11/2024 07:00 - United States

Today, as we packed for a vacation, I saw my boyfriend pack several pairs of the ugly gray socks he knows I hate. I took and threw them away before we left. One flight, cab ride, and furious argument later, I learned that one pair had an engagement ring wrapped up inside. FML

YDI for being so controlling over socks wth

If your boyfriend is like me, the relationship would be over. How dare you throw another persons clothes away because you don’t like them. What gives you the right to decide what he can wear? I would dump you in a heartbeat

While you SHOULD NOT have messed with his luggage, I can't help but feel he could've picked something BETTER wrap it up in, like his shirt.

Aaaand that is why he is now still your boyfriend and will likely remain so, rather than your fiancee.

It was at this moment she knew…she ****** up.

Wow, you're lucky you even went on the trip together... I would have called off the whole thing and then let you stew in your own juices

Wow... first of all, it's SOCKS. How often do you even see socks (they're under pants and inside shoes)? Second, I can't imagine any pair of socks warranting this unless they were full of holes and just shot. But seriously, whatever the article of clothing, you have no right to throw it away if it doesn't belong to you. I hope this guy is now your ex boyfriend, because if you're this much of a control freak, you deserve to be alone.

Clearly you have problems you need to address, both as an individual and one half of a couple, but also was he planning to propose in the airport before the flight, or just let the surprise be ruined when the bag went through the scanner and the box was discovered? Unless his socks were made of lead.
