The guy wants to keep the chair for its sentimental value.
Clutter involves more than just the physical items that occupy our living spaces. It's a way that our feelings, thoughts, and actions become visible.
For a lot of people, decluttering can feel like a big challenge. But have you ever wondered why it's difficult to part with things that have lost their purpose?
The explanation can be found in the psychology behind clutter. One big reason we tend to keep clutter is because of sentimental feelings.
Things we own often carry memories and emotions, and saying goodbye to them might feel like losing a piece of who we are. Another reason is fear – fear of saying goodbye, fear of the future, and fear of losing something important.
Also, clutter can be a way we shield ourselves or feel safe. We hang on to things because they bring us comfort or remind us of what we know.
In today's post, we take a look at the story of a guy who finds it hard to let go of his old chair. He tells the "Am I The A**hole?" (AITA) subreddit that he moved into an apartment with his fiancée.
She wants him to get rid of his chair because, on top of looking ugly, it doesn't fit into the apartment's aesthetic. The original poster (OP) is determined to keep it, but his fiancée is equally determined to discard it.
The OP wants to keep it because of its sentimental value. Through his college years up until his adulthood, the chair had done a lot for him.
He tells the community that while he loves his fiancée dearly, this is one thing he can't get rid of.
The chair is now broken, so the couple can finally stop arguing about whether or not to keep the chair. It has chosen to say goodbye, so the OP has no other choice but to get rid of it.
But even if the chair didn't break down, the OP still ought to get rid of it. It has served its purpose.
He could've just taken his girlfriend's offer and star creating new memories with a new set of furniture. It's a new home, so it makes sense to only include items that fit the aesthetic.
