Do you have your SO's clothes?

[Loveyoumore]

I love when we are apart & I can sleep in his shirt or shorts...even sweats that he gave me when we were together. It makes me feel so much closer to him. Do any of you sleep in your SO's clothing when apart. what other things do you do to feel closer to your SO when apart?

My partner visited me this winter and let me his sweater that I wear very often. I was joking the other day because it's starting to be too warm to wear it and I said, ''you'll have to send me your t-shirt''
He gave me a pocket watch too. I tend to carry it everywhere wth me so I feel like he is a bit more with me. Other than that, I don't do anything particular.

I didn't ask for it, but my SO brought an extra hoodie for me during his first visit so that I could wear it when he's gone, which I thought was so, so sweet. I don't wear it to bed, but I'll wear it around the apartment sometimes and he likes to see me wearing it on webcam. Occasionally I'll just hug it because I miss him.

Non-clothing-wise, he also brought some of his favourite books for me that he thought I would like and left them here for me to read. I loaned him one of my favorite books as well. One of the books that he left for me has been his since he was in gradeschool, and I love to flip open the first page to see his name written inside of it.

Yes, it was a thing we do... he'd leave me the shirt he wore all day on his last day, and I'd sleep with it - I lovingly called it "my blankey" cheesy I know... and I would wait as long as I could stand to before I'd wash it. Now I have a majority of his clothes in my closet.

No, I use the phone for feeling close.

Actually I did send my lady a shirt from me in her favourite colour. I know she sleeps in it.

I have a tank and T-shirt that I wear. I don't think he has anything of mine. I also wear some of my ex-husbands shirts and sweaters that ended up with my clothes and they are really comfy.

My SO gave me one of his hoodie during the second visit. I sleep in it most of the time or just keep it close to me. He put some of his perfume on my scarf and I bought a small version of it to be able to smell his scent everyday. But we don't have anything more than that.

Yes I have a shirt of his that I sleep in. I also have a few of his books

I have two of his t-shirts, a hoodie, and a pair of pajama bottoms. I might not give him back the pajama bottoms, because they're really cozy, but everything else is free game for him. I also have a few random objects of his, including a bear keychain thing he made when he was a kid.

When I went on a week long elk hunt in New Mexico, ML sent a care package to my local contact who brought it to camp. In it, along with cookies, a motivational poster, and a decal was a hooded sweatshirt, in my size she wore for a couple weeks. Smelled like her (which was not ideal for hunting elk) but being out of touch it was comforting to have her "there with me" in camp.

She now has one of my Tshirts she will sleep in that has our local high school as the emblem.

I have his hoodie. He also gave me his aftershave so I can spray it on the hoodie or on my pillow. It's so amazing.

I will definitely not be changing the font color again. I wasn't aware of this rule.

Not meaning to be rude or anything but... I've seen other people doing this too. And whilst I get the reasoning behind the "don't do its," relax... it's not the first time and it won't be the last.

OP, I keep hoping my SO will leave something behind for me when he comes over in 3 months or so. Some kind of aftershave would be perfect, I like the idea of being able to smell his scent even after he's gone.
