So, I've been living a minimalist lifestyle for about 3 years. I'm pretty confident this is something I plan to stick with for life. However, my significant other is not as much of a minimalist as I am. He has a whole room full of plushies and collectibles he won't let go of because he "doesn't want them to feel abandoned." There are a few things that I've held on to largely out of fear it may offend him. To be fair, some of these gifts were sort of expensive. However, they serve no practical function other than to sit on a shelf in an extra bedroom. I just know he would be upset if I got rid of the things he's gifted me for birthdays or other occasions but, I have no attachment to them and can't imagine wanting to move with them in the future. What would you do?
