Why does my ex wear my old clothes?

A male United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

Hello Out there, just a quick question. My ex left me for someone else 7 months ago and I am over her but during the 7 months I noticed she's been wearing my tops that I no longer wanted. I bumped into her at a bar and she wore my vest. I bumped into her with her new date recently, she wore my Tshirt and I saw pics of her online in her ex's birthday do she wore it again, I just don't get it. She has clearly moved on so I guess she's just forgotten that I gave her those tops but she has her own sexy clothes to wear yet she chooses to look tomboyish with my old clothes with her men and she even told them they used to belong to me.

I know I'm thinking too much but after seeing this happen for so long I'm just wondering why she is doing this?

lah mouw agony auntShe may be wearing your clothes because it means something to her... it may be a way for her to keep you close to her because she most likely is still emotionally connected somehow

Variety agony auntGuys clothes are comfortable. I love wearing my boyfriend's. Maybe she doens't care that they are yours she just likes them. I wear an old t shirt of my dad's. It doesn't mean I am pining for him or missing him...I just like the shirt. Stop obsessing about what she's wearing. It will only stop you from moving on in the long run. Hope this helps. Message me if you want to chat about anything. x

Jamer70 agony aunti agree with waterloo sunset. Maybe she likes your clothes and finds them better than hers. Or posssibly going through and tomboyish faze so finds your clothes appriopiate. I wouldnt read to much into it as you say she has moved on

birdynumnums agony aunti have to say that I don't get it either. I wear my husband's t-shirt when he is traveling because I miss him. And most ex's want to throw away all of their boyfriends clothing, not wear it. Maybe she just thinks that the t-shirt is cool. The next time that you see her in something of yours, why not just ask!

I think you have such a great choice in clothes and she is wearing them because of that. I dont think you can read anymore into it than that. It could be a tomboyish faze that she is going through. I wouldnt wear any of my ex's stuff but he is xxxxl, so they would drown me anyway.

take care

maverick agony auntHello mate.

There could be a num,ber of reasons, they are comfortable? She has sentimental value in them? She misses you? She like the style of clothes? In any case, you don't know the meaning and you might be tourturing yourself thinking about this.

The fact that this has bothered you enough to post a question on www.dearcupid.org means that you are not over her. And you saw photos of her online in your clothes? I'm guessing your just platonic friends then on something like Facebook? Otherwise you should be looking to let go.

She left you for someone else. You gave her the tops you didn't want - as you can't have been bothered or else you wouldn't have given them in the first instance. She starts wearing them - and its causing you to think about it.

Don't. You might be doing what I used to do and attach a greater level of importance to minor thing. I mean, If I finished my Xbox 360 game and gave it to you, and then you started playing it every Sunday what does that mean?

Please take care of yourself, M

Laura1318 agony auntMaybe , she is trying to say , she wants you back or she still have interest in you. Most girls would either throw away your things if they hate you a lot. They cannot be reminded of you by those things .
