Why would a guy tell you to keep his shirts after a breakup?

I don't know why he explicitly would tell you. In my case I asked her if she was going to keep the items I gave her, and she was going to. It did make me happy because we left on the best of terms and I cherish her myself just the same and also keep the items she gave me. So for me its a sign of how much we still mean to each other despite being unable to be together.

But that said, I would not have explicitly asked or forced her to keep them. To me that is up to her to decide. So that part I can only assume, and I assume its because he thinks it would be harder for you to move on (If you were the one to break up, he is holding on to you).

Maybe he doesn’t want to see you so best to just leave them w you. Maybe he wants you to remember him. Maybe they aren’t as valuable to him as you may think in him wanting them back.

Because they'll remind him of I and he doesn't want that.

Tell him you are putting it in the garbage or he picks it up.
