Get rid of it!!

[sabby2]

Inspired by a conversation I just had with dh.

What is one thing of your dh/so's that you can't stand or would get rid of if you could that they just can't let go of (ew, ending a sentence with a preposition)?

[sabby2]

DH has had his love sac forever. In case you aren't familiar love sac is a brand of furniture. Essentially it is a gigantic bean bag. I hate it. It's huge and takes up a ton of room. It's furry, collects all the dog hair, and looks like a 20 year old's dorm furniture (because that is what it is!)

The paintball gear. He has played once in the time I've known him (12 years.) it's not even a huge box of stuff, but it drives me nuts that he insists on keeping it. Oh, and this one old faded green dress shirt that he wore to my college graduation. In 2006.

[darwinfish]

College t-shirts, especially ones with dates. No one is punching the air about your Newman's Day 2003 shirt; they're looking at the date and thinking eww, that shirt is 12 years old.

(I know the truth is that 95% of people aren't thinking anything, but still.)

Bedroom dresser. It's a nice piece but NMS. And he insists on keeping it.

College shirts is a great answer!

Our first kitchen table we had when we moved in together. It was a hand me down, and quiet worn when we got it. It's ugly, dingy, and kind of just gross in my opinion. We got a brand new one when we got married, five years ago. He insists we save it, because we might want to use it in the basement for the kids or something one day. So it's in storage. So pointless IMO. If we want a junk table one day lets buy one at a garage sale for $5.

This katana set he has. What is this, 1995?

[americanninjamommy]

His cars. And his addiction to vehicles in general.

He is in the process of selling the Focus because it's broken and is a two door. Then he decided to get a VW, but he wanted something that I could drive and 4-door so we could get ANB in and out easily. He got a 2-door Golf and it's got problems, so he doesn't let me drive it. And he's talking about getting another VW .... that I can drive and that is 4 door so we can get the baby in and out of. Andplusalso, we are trying to sell the big 26 foot box truck that he used to run his delivery business with because the maintenance costs have become too much to handle.

And he keeps talking about getting a boat. And an RV. Both used, of course, which means more maintenance.

Oh dear God. Please kill me.

His recliner. He is obsessed with his chair and it's so ugly. It doesn't go with anything. Also, his holey underwear that he refuses to throw away, no matter how many new pairs he buys.

[sweetsurprise]

Omg. My H has absurd t- shirts his mom buys for him like this.

[saraml13]

His collection of every issue of Bon Appetit from the last 6+ years. I'm not allowed to throw them out and I'm not allowed to clip recipes out of them because he might want to look at them in the future. But he never does. If he wants to find a recipe he remembers reading, he looks it up online.

Runner up would be his large collection of dress shirts. He used to work at a very formal company and has a ton of very conservative dress shirts. Now he works for a technology company and wears jeans with polo shirts (when he wants to dress up) or hoodies. But his closet is full of about 30 shirts that now only get worn for special occasions.

DH used to have a huge collection of old computer parts from the high tech scrap yard that he would use to build "new" computers. What he had was so obsolete that he finally thew most of it away when we moved a couple of years ago. He still has quite a few shitty old computers that he just can't seem to part with. They take up so much space and they're just collecting dust. They've got to go!

Ugh, I forgot about that! DH has an ancient laptop that only functions for opening old files (you can't do anything with them, like edit them) and playing this truly stupid computer game. And, when I tried to get rid of my old Pc, he kept the monitor so he could have dual monitors. It's a 13" screen. I want to scream every time I look at it. With moving soon, I'm hoping we can offload it finally.

DH is a minimalist and doesn't keep anything that I would particularly want to throw out although he has a collection of clothes that are brand new that he's never worn and probably will never wear. His mom gets him clothes for every special occasion but he rarely wears them, yet has a closet full of them. For some reason I can't get him to get rid of them although they don't particularly bug me. I have my own closet so luckily I don't have to deal with his little collection.

[MrsTinMKE]

I second the recliner... I have taken over his T shirts as pajamas and he lets me get rid of most other crap

[lrobi13]

So many things...

There is this stupid ugly table in our living room with a funky light built into it. I want it gone.

He also sleeps with the "mink" blankets that he got in Japan 20 years ago (one is black and one is printed like deer skin) ick to both and neither go with my color pallet.

Also, I am over the large wall cabinet entertainment center (I would like something more modern and less brown)
