fairestcat¡Hola Papi!
My partner loves to wear my clothes, but because I am a couple sizes larger than them, it doesn't work the other way around. This hasn't really been a problem in the past, but we've been making a little more money now and I've been buying nicer clothes when I can, whereas they hate shopping and never buy anything.
Since we've been together for nearly four years and living together for over two, they feel pretty comfortable throwing on my clothes (and shoes! we're the same size) and heading out into the world to stain my shirts and leave my jackets at their office for weeks on end. Even when there's no wreckage, it's super annoying to do my laundry and then find out I can't wear whatever shirt I wanted to wear that day because they already wore it and it's dirty, or left it at a friend's house, or straight up lost it.
I've asked them to stop several times, which works for a little while, but they wake up and get dressed after I leave for work so they can be sneaky about it. We live in a super-small apartment with one shared closet, so separating our clothes completely isn't really an option. I love my partner dearly and am not really anticipating ending our relationship over this, but it's driving me nuts. What can I say or do to get through to them?
