Angry Wife Throws Out Husband's Expensive Game Memorabilia

March 31, 2010 in News comments 7

An angry Japanese wife has reportedly thrown out her husband's gaming and anime memorabilia because they "grossed her out." The man had been collecting the memorabilia since his childhood and some were apparently worth thousands of dollars.

Ouch!

Cheat on her husband? No. Spend all his money? No. For one man, this just might be worse. Much worse.

From the advice column of Japan's news source Yomiuri (translated by Matt Alt):

quote
Before we got married, he didn't exhibit much of this kind of behavior but I've really been noticing it lately. He collects these pathetic dolls. They're called "Chogokin" robots or something, I don't know. He seems to have been collecting them since he was a kid, and he filled like four cardboard boxes with them. Sometimes he'd take them out and gaze at them lovingly. It really grossed me out. So one day when he was at work I threw them all out.

When he came home, we got into a big fight. Getting angry about dolls... it's so childish! How can I get him to admit he was wrong? Please give me some advice.


"If they are old Chogokin you are talking probably a couple hundred bucks a pop," says Alt, "and the high end stuff can be worth a thousand or more."

    I've been thinking about what to say, but the only thing that comes to mind is this. "That bitch!"

    This is why the wimmen can't be trusted with anything more than a sandwich.

      Even then, the wimmen could be so pissed off, the sandwich has rat poison in it...

        You don't put rat poison in sammiches.

        That's people food.

    Sounds to me like there are some deeper meaning issues. The guy sounds a bit obsessive, and the gal sounds a bit off kilter too.

      I dunno...alot of people collect things. Nothing wrong with having a passion for something.

      Of course, I don't know the full story. But even if he was obsessed, she shouldn't have just thrown it all out without his permission.

    So she calls him childish when he is angry about her just suddenly throwing his possessions out? I'd be rather upset too.

    I really would like to know just what she thought that action would accomplish. Surely no sane person would have thought anything positive could have resulted from it.
