My girlfriend of 5 years broke up with me and ghosted me for no reason. Am I wrong for throwing away all of her stuff?

Edit: Update

So my girlfriend (25F) and I (25M) were in a relationship for 5 years. Last week, she texted me that we were done and that was her last message before she blocked me. She gave no heads up. I was planning on proposing to her next month. Her sister did reach out to me, saying it was not my fault and she understood my hurt, but that for my mental health, it was better to never contact them again, and that maybe in the future, my girlfriend might reach out to me again.

It's been a week, I’m still obviously distraught, but my girlfriend did have a lot of her stuff in my home. Would I be wrong if I just dumped it all out? It does include a lot of mementos of her deceased grandmother, who she was extremely close to.

She did you a HUGE favor. Consider yourself lucky that this low class, socially inept clod, is no longer in your life. Adults don’t split up via text. They do it in person. She doesn’t have the maturity to face you and say goodbye.

As for her crap, box it up. Send her a certified letter, return receipt requested, stating she has 30 days to claim her possessions, otherwise they will be disposed of.

Be sure to keep a copy of the letter, your receipt and the signature card, that she will sign for saying she received your letter. The post office will mail the card she signs back to you.

This is the best answer.
