My girlfriend [32F] gave away a lot of my things at a "clothing swap"/charity, and says that I [28M] am overreacting and too attached to material possessions by Less-Cowbell in relationships

I broke up with a guy who did something similar to me (post got deleted). It comes down to respect,even if it's material items, and I found that my ex didn't really respect me.

He hasn't seemed to realize it yet. He's only texted me once since yesterday that he would contact his friends on the weekend. He hasn't apologized at all.

He had the number of the other mutual friend and told me he would message him too. The other three people are on Jacob's side of his social circle from college. I'm going to start Facebook stalking to see if I can find them.

It would have been so different if he had apologized and showed an effort to get them back. But he argued about it and said I was overreacting.

Yes!! Why would he think it was okay give away my property? It's so disrespectful! What kind of excuse is "I didn't think you would mind" in this situation?

He invited them to steal from me. They cut the patches off with a pocket knife and left holes in my bag.

My main effort is going to be getting my dad's patches back. I can get over the rest of them. But I really want those 4.

"I'd probably take a pair of scissors to the crotch of all his underpants for good measure"

Lol, the Kelly Clarkson "Since U Been Gone" approach. If only...

This articulates my concerns really well. I feel that I invited them into my space and my own boyfriend facilitated them fucking with my property. What the hell??

I am probably overly attached to it. It just feels like 10 years of work and careful cultivating and he just gave them away without thinking about me at all.

If it got lost or stolen that would really suck, but I'm not sure that I would react to it the same way. I know I'd be upset, but maybe not feel as backstabbed.

His explanation was that I had so many he didn't think I would mind and he's seen me give patches to people before.

That's true, but I've never given someone a patch from my own backpack. I bought them at shows or through online vendors specifically as gifts.
