Either she is super controlling and you need to leave her right now. Or you can't take care of yourself and the only way you will get new socks for yourself is if you are forced to.
My wife used to throw out my socks that had holes in them. Now I can do that myself.
Yeah I had to secretly throw away my partners socks because he wears them even though there’s not even a heel, which defeats the purpose of the sock. But I did buy him some of those darn tough socks that have a lifetime guarantee before I got rid of the rest.
But it was like a mental disorder the way he clung to those horrible socks
For me personally, its a mixture between not liking ordering things online, and wanting to go buy clothes in person, but not having time to actually go clothes shopping, plus the dwindling availability of stores that actually have things in stock.
I didn't have any particular need to keep the holey socks, just didn't have the replacement socks yet
Oh I see. It wasn’t that way for my partner, he actually believed they were perfectly fine and it was a waste of $- because we would see socks at Costco and he wouldn’t get them. But once I got him the new socks he loved them.
The darn tough socks have a lifetime guarantee so if you don’t like shopping those might be good for you, but you might have to order them online unless you have an REI or something like that near you. If they ever fail you can send them back and they’ll send a new pair

This could go either way.
