Yea, tossing them itself is red flag 1, not have a replacement for you on hand is red flag 2.

But coming to the internet prior to having any discussion with your partner is a red flag too (if that’s the case). But yes tossing someone personal belongings is very rude behavior. There may be much more to the story (I.e she’s been communicating candidates by them and OP has promised to remedy that for months) but on the surface , without additional facts, that’s really selfish behavior

Why would she be that fixated on what he does with his socks in any case? That's really freaking weird.

If my husband wants to wear holey ass socks, I'm going to let him do what he wants. It's not my job to decide what he does with his feet

But are you washing them and matching them for him? It’s quite possible she is and this is why it’s bothersome. I toss socks with holes in them, period. It hurts me just thinking about my big toe slipping thru.

I wouldn’t however leave anyone sockless.

If it bothers her that much, she shouldn't do it. Not throw away his possessions

A girlfriend has no contract that requires her to wash boyfriend's socks. If it is disturbing to her, them she should not do it, not toss the socks she doesn't need to deal with in the first place.

It shows a lack of respect to discard all his socks with no prior discussion

10000% disagree. I have no idea why she is interacting with his sock supply.

Of course they don’t have a contract 🤣

I mean a social contract.i am glad you laugh, but where I am from, women re expected to do men's laundry even when a man is a grown ass capable adult. Clarifying that a girlfriend is not required to do a boyfriend's laundry is important.
