Hey, this is Sam.

This is John.

The OG Story Time podcast hosts. Oh yeah, and we got some great stories coming up. But before that, we got a teeny two-minute break from the sponsors that keep this show propped up like a little house. Oh, yeah. This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed human. My wife can't stop throwing away our stuff. I'm getting tired of it.

Sounds like you're about to move into a van.

My wife channels Marie Kondo and throws out things that she doesn't like when she goes on her cleaning sprees.

The problem is that she will throw out things that are important to me or would be used by our daughter, three female, if offered.

By the way, this comes from throwaway Sol and Saffick, and if you want to submit your own stories, go to the R-slash OK Storytime subreddit. This is the opposite of an hoarder. Yeah, she's just like, tossed, toss. Honestly, not that mad. Yeah. I would do this when I was really little. I would like just like toss a bunch of things.

I was like, I have to get rid of stuff.

Anyway, among other things, this is very frustrating because I have had to rebuy many things.

I discovered that she did this early in our relationship after a few too many things were disappearing.

Since then, I have practically begged her to talk to me before throwing out things, like

putting them in a box for me to go through or something like that.

Instead, she will throw things away and lie to me that she did not throw anything away.

When I go through the trash and find all the things she threw away, she'll tell me, she doesn't think they mattered. And so they didn't count. In my situation, it was just my stuff, not other people's stuff. And why not matter to you? That's crazy. That's my PlayStation 5, man. One man's trash is another man's treasure. Haven't you ever heard of that? Each time this happens,

I've told her how bad this makes me feel and how it feels disrespectful and controlling to make

these decisions about our things without discussing it with me first. This is something I've made

very, very clear how much this upsets me to not have autonomy over my own possessions.

She doesn't do these purges terribly often, I'd say only a few times a year.

I'm definitely messier than her and probably keep things that I don't really need, but I'm a team player.

Follow her lead about how she likes the house and far from a hoarder.

If she puts things in a trash bag that she wanted to get rid of, I would acquiesce to

throwing out most of it.
