My mom has this tendency whenever she is mad at me to throw things away that remind her of me, or even worse, take all the kids toys she keeps around for my kids and puts them in the attic. My ex-gf used to do something like that - this was years ago but I think she'd throw away pictures. I think it's because they put more emotional association into these things, so that's one way of striking back or telling themselves they are putting you behind them - because if they attack your stuff, it's a big statement becasue they think we associate with them in the same way they do. Whereas guys are like "why waste property - I'm ****ed at her."
