Love her to death, but It's been going on for 3 years. The sad part is, she hasn't missed a single item.

Talk to her about it bro! Ask how u can help her stay more organized
SmallTownBigAdventure
That is serious mental illness. Has she always been like this?
Smg0036
Wash them and accidentally use bleach.

At new year, put all on left facing hangers. When you launder, turn hangers right.Whatevr isn't facing right at next NY, toss. Wasn't worn.
mysecretusernamenr1
Why not just throw in a black bag and when there’s enough then donate ? Then there’s also plenty of time for her to ask where her things are
BasicallyGareth
Hang all the hangers "under", assuming they're all hung over atm, throw out the ones that are left hanging under bc they haven't been worn
TheZade
Donate them, there are almost certainly local charities that accept clothing
Helpp
Did this today. It was a bag full of clothes that we hadn't touched since moving. No one's noticed
RedWebster
Good for you! It's so freeing.
Unicorncheesemonster
Your apartment...isnt it both of yours if you are married? And you knew those habits before you married her.
ElegantKitty
Have you talked to her about it?
Ch3mis7
Fight the good fight brother.
nonamejanie
Do it weekly.
GoBears55
Good idea...but maybe donate them to Goodwill.
jdmg94
Try to donate to a local charity, they can make good use of the clothing your SO doesn't need

DONATE THAT SHIT!
Imjustheretodrinkandcomment
You're married. Nothing is yours anymore.
BuddyAboot
I have a chair in my house where im allowed to throw my shit on.
RedWebster
I've got a laundry basket and one of those old butler's chairs.
seriouslythatusernameistakentoo
Tell her 1/2 her clothes make her look fat. It is sure to have zero negative consequences.
Mycologics
Don't get me wrong but wouldn't it be "our apartment" instead of just yours?
cptcuddles99
If this is true... I feel your pain
RedWebster
'Tis true. Her clothes occupy our entire bedroom, the livingroom, and like 40% of our spare bedroom (where I have one small closet).
cptcuddles99
I share your destiny my friend.. stay strong and look for a bigger home! :D
TheLastNalbinder
Buy her "the life changing magic of tidying up"
RedWebster
I'll look into that, thanks.
SleepyForLife
Loved that book!

Until you throw something really expensive
PiffTheMagicDildo
I did this to my wife, we moved in together, she had boxes and boxes and piles of clothes in a room where she was gonna "sort them out"
PiffTheMagicDildo
She never did, so one year later I got tired of it, started throwing boxes of clothes away and when she got home she got mad. She doesn't
PiffTheMagicDildo
leave piles of clothes around the house anymore. So that's good. Lol
comehomefransbrauder
Some THING? Once a month? It'll take you forever to go through that OP.
LittleWheelsAndCactuss
I'd bag them all up and take them to your storage area and tell her to go get what she needs as she needs it
Smackthebucky
If she still hasn't noticed, increase frequency and quantity.
berrygoo
Agreed. Don't let the hoard happen.
tzxAzrael
take photographs of the piece before tossing. "which one, honey? I've tossed out 10 orange sweaters you only wore once."
tzxAzrael
also, instead of just throwing it out, donate it to goodwill or something like that
Shlits

somadicouldspitfire
I can relate to your wife - we women have lots of clothes... my husband though helps me go through them every 3 months. We go through mine
somadicouldspitfire
and his, too. We help each other eliminate clothing that we don't need. Then we donate it. Been doing this since we moved in together last
somadicouldspitfire
yr. Got married July 2016 so we skipped a few months. Tomorrow we're going to donate 6 huge garbage bags full of clothes.
RedWebster
You guys want another spouse? I want that. I'll even sleep on the floor if you want.
somadicouldspitfire
Haha it's all about the approach. Offer to buy storage bins, tell her you really want to have friends over but can't because you feel
somadicouldspitfire
Embarrassed by the mess. Tell her you'll help her and have her set goals. Hoarders need to feel in control so do your best to stay calm
JohnSnowflake
Hoarder. You will die under a pile of newspapers.
adobesubmarine
Or, in a newspaper-pile fire. It's truly amazing how hot those things burn.
RedWebster
Hahahaha damn it.
Ijustwanttobememe
I used to be really bad at laundry. Hated it. Still do. My boyfriend gathered all my shit and took it to a laundromat. Washed and folded ->>
Ijustwanttobememe
And brought it back home. I organized it all and it jumpstarted me into being more attentive and forced me to get in under control
RedWebster
Im so happy that helped you! Thanks for sharing that
willfullyspooning
I'll say it a million times, hire a professional organizer who specializes in hoarding! A lot of times there's an emotional thing tying 1/2
willfullyspooning
People to the objects that they hoard. Sauce: I worked for a professional organizer helping them with they heavy work w/ hoarders. 2/2

EKOasaripple
Read something recently that broke down the US clothing surplus. It's ridiculous. We EXPORT used clothes, some of which is still never used/
EKOasaripple
I'll try to find it
EKOasaripple
here's something that rings the same bell, although I don't think it's what I read http://fashionista.com/2016/01/clothing-donation
RedWebster
I've done that also. The garbage thing is my pathetic passive aggressive way of handling my own feelings. I'll be honest here.
willfullyspooning
You're gonna get in big trouble once she notices something is missing. Hire a professional organizer! They're great with this kind of stuff
breothskin
Sell on eBay.. Keep a ledger and show her at the end of a year how much she didn't miss. Also. Buy a car.
Stockyhome
Well... Sell it on eBay and buy yourself something nice or donate the cash
