She Screamed At Her Husband For Digging Through Her Memory Box Full Of Photos And Letters
It might just look like old paper and movie stubs to him, but to her, it’s a lifetime. She wasn’t hiding anything. She wasn’t clinging to the past.
She just wanted to keep a little corner of her memories organized and intact. So when she found her husband rifling through her box and tossing everything back without care, it wasn’t just about the mess.
It was about the complete lack of respect for something that mattered to her, even if he couldn’t understand why.
This 44-year-old woman has a memory box inside her closet, and it contains photos and letters. The content ranges from letters her close friend penned to her while they spent two years on a mission trip, cards from her friends and exes, and old wedding invitations.
There are also ticket stubs from movies she saw when she was younger. All of the memories inside the box aren’t exactly the kind that give you warm and fuzzy feelings, but they’re all a part of her past.
It’s been easily 20 years since she’s opened the box, and every time she moves to a new place, she brings the box along with her for the ride.
She doesn’t have anything in the box that she wants to keep a secret; it’s all simply her memories that she’s hanging onto.
But yesterday, when she walked into her house, she came across her husband digging through her memory box and reading everything he could get his hands on.
Initially, she chuckled and questioned him about whether he had found anything important.

“Then I noticed he made a mess of it (it is organized by person and middle, high-school and college, etc.), everything was all mixed up, letters weren’t put back in envelopes…” she explained.
She got angry and said to her husband that he should stay out of her belongings if he was just going to make them into a cluttered heap.
“He said he just wanted to see what was so important that I kept for over 25 years, and he was going to put it away,” she added.
“So I asked him if he knew what envelope belonged to each letter and what ticket and picture belonged to whom? He got mad and told me it didn’t really matter. I told him to get out of my face and let me put it back together.”
Yes, she shouted at her husband, and he’s feeling upset that she did that since he thinks it’s just a box of old junk and nothing worth being sentimental over.
“[Am I the jerk] for yelling at my husband for making a mess of a box of old letters and pictures? He thinks I am,” she concluded.
