A social media post detailing a boyfriend's distress over his girlfriend's disposal of his idol merchandise has gone viral, sparking intense discussions online about respect, boundaries, and relationships.
In a post shared widely across platforms, a man recounted the emotional ordeal he experienced when his girlfriend threw away a cherished collection of BLACKPINK merchandise.
The items, which included signed memorabilia, ticket stubs, photocards, and a treasured poster from the group's 2019 meeting in Taiwan, were discarded while he was napping.
The boyfriend described his devastation upon discovering that his meticulously decorated display case was empty.
According to his account, his girlfriend explained that her obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) prompted her to clear out what she perceived as a "mess."
The boyfriend, overwhelmed with grief and anger, confronted her and ultimately asked her to leave their shared residence.
The following day, the girlfriend returned, attempting to reconcile by downplaying the incident and expressing a desire to move past the issue. Her casual demeanor only added to the boyfriend's frustration, as he felt she failed to grasp the significance of the lost items and the emotional impact of her actions.
The post has garnered thousands of reactions from netizens, most of whom sided with the boyfriend.
Comments reflect a mix of outrage and sympathy, with many condemning the girlfriend's actions as disrespectful and invasive.
One commenter wrote, "She's not a girlfriend but a perpetrator. Are you allowed to throw away other people's stuff just because you can't stand them? What a joke."
Another added, "Throw away her purses and make-up products, then tell her your obsessive-compulsive disorder kicked in. See how she feels."
- As someone who has been a fan before, I also had a custom-made and carefully decorated album display case. So I can imagine how devastating it must be for you to have your treasured items thrown away. Especially since there were rare signed pieces! If it were me, I would have already gone completely crazy. And she has OCD-why did she throw away your stuff?
- ? How could you let him in? Please kick him out!
Many online users who identify with the boyfriend's love for idol culture empathized with his loss and expressed disbelief that the girlfriend, despite her OCD, would target his belongings rather than her own.
- Thinking that a mess can be tidied up, why does it have to be thrown away? It's intentional. People who casually throw away others' belongings, especially cherished items, see them as just trash. So they think they're "helping you out" by dealing with it.
- I don't think it's OCD. Basically, she's just unhappy that you're obsessed with another girl and went out of her way to clear everything. It's pretty childish.
In contrast, some commenters suggested that the boyfriend should consider professional counseling for both himself and his girlfriend to address underlying issues in their relationship, emphasizing the need for better communication and understanding of each other's mental health challenges.
