I would say if you can see yourself working things out with your current partner in the long run, talk to them. Tell them that you aren’t happy in your relationship and you have a coworker who has been making you feel these things. You would rather maintain and fix your current relationship than feed the coworker relationship. See what your partner says and go from there. If you can’t see yourself working things out with your current relationship, it might be kinder to end things with them and move on. Cheating can ruin someone and you’ve already gotten through the emotional side of it. Now you have to decide which person you want for your future and talk to that person and see if they want you as well knowing the full story. Good luck 💛

I’m absolutely losing my mind at how you phrased this 💀

Wow that went straight over my head 💀 I thought he was saying he was a worker at a household store or something and people were raiding the store trash and he wanted it to stop because it was his responsibility to clean it up 🤦🏼‍♀️

It might be desperation honestly. People looking for anything they can get for free to sell online for some extra cash. These are hard times we live in 🥴 not condoning your issue but hopefully sharing some light as to why it happens. I noticed you said in a comment that you’re a household item store- household items can be pricey and not everyone can afford what they need. They might see dumpster diving as an easy way to either one, get the necessities they can not otherwise afford, or two, resell items to make some extra money. Of course, there’s probably other reasons I didn’t list, but I would assume those are the most common ones?
