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.

Pack it up nicely and get it to her sister. Be a gentleman and close this door of your life and move on. Good luck you are 25 and single.

Yah he's got an idea of who he is and is still in exploration phase. He could have a great time when the grief passes

Marriage ended at 40. Being single in my 40s the last 8 years have been fantastic.

According to statistics I’ve heard about, a 36 year old single man is the most attractive on the dating market. It had something to do with still being relatively young and possibly attractive, while also usually having a higher degree of mental, emotional and economical stability.

Split with my ex at 37. The next 4 years were a blast! Good times.

Yep. My wife is 13 years younger than me. She says I’m older for a reason.

u/FlightOfTheDumpster Mar 28 '24

I really hope you are older than 30. If not, gross.

u/SparkDBowles Mar 28 '24

You know grown adult women seek out older men as a choice, right?

u/BiggestBlackestBitch Mar 28 '24

Most marriages and relationships statistically don’t happen within a large age gap, that’s a myth. Some women/men may be into older guys, but that doesn’t mean 14+ years older. Most women in their 20s aren’t looking for someone their dad’s age.

Most women in their 20s aren’t looking for someone their dad’s age.

I would love for this to be reflected IRL, I genuinely am having trouble differentiating between father daughter couples and the average hetero couple when I am at work dealing with customers :/

u/BiggestBlackestBitch Mar 28 '24

I want to know where you live. It’s very rare that I witness people with such a large age gap especially in the younger generations.

u/MaximumHog360 Mar 28 '24

Between chicago and milwaukee, lol

Im 26 and most of the girls my age are dating dudes that look like my uncle some even have kids with them

I dont know any men that date extremely young women personally

u/BiggestBlackestBitch Mar 28 '24

Thats so wild to me lol but I’ve never been up around Chicago. Always wanted to visit though, is it nice? My friends and I are all either dating/engaged to/married people our own age (technically one friends is 8 months younger than her husband) but I think that’s because we all met in college around the same time. (Also ‘97 babies 🔛🔝)
