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

Good for you for getting rid of it OP! Maybe you should have a talk with your dad about how him keeping the sweater makes you uncomfortable.

Looks like you have to throw it away one more time

Why waste a good sweater? I understand that you might want to be symbolic and throw it in the trash, but if the sweater is in good condition then donate it. Talk to your father about why you are throwing out the sweater, but if he likes it then why not let him have it. Better than putting it in the garbage to be wasted.

#30 and you don't get #13's point. Wasting a perfect fine piece of winter clothing (which is essential and very expensive) because it once belonged to this or that person is stupid. And besides, if you can't bear to even look at a sweater just because it used to belong to your ex, no matter how often they wore it, it means you're still nowhere near being really over them, which means her gesture of throwing it away was also totally meaningless from the beginning.

My family was poor for a long time, we often took hand-me-downs. My brother's girlfriend left many articles of clothing at our house, then they broke up and she didn't want them anymore. I was given the clothing, even though it was from someone he loved, and he learned to get over it. My mother would kill me if she ever found me throwing out good winter wear because of something as silly as "so and so used to wear it."

One woman's trash is another man's treasure?

I sure hope it doesn't fit...why would someone go through the trash for something to treasure per se?
