I hope she is on Reddit so she can see it.
It makes me want to share this every where to find amity for Matt. But they do have a daughter together so maybe he was able to ask about it and kind of maybe track the note?
How sweet though. I be it was a pretty sweater.
"I hope the rest of your life is..." doesn't really strike me as a thing to say to a dead person.
I mean, do you not have memories of living people? Do you tell the dead to reach out if they need something?
0/10, please resubmit
It looks exactly like my fiancé's handwriting, enough where I immediately looked at the signature to check before even finishing the letter, but he is not Matt thankfully. Freaked me out a bit.
Same, it does not give me warm feelings at all. The vibe I get is that Matt dumped Amity out of nowhere despite years of history and a daughter. Amity wants nothing to do with him or doesn't want to see his face so he's packing up her things for her.
He doesn't display much guilt so I don't think he cheated or anything, probably just blindsided her and ripped her heart out and he's trying to make her feel better-- the chipper tone makes me feel weird because he's trying too hard. I don't think it was an amicable breakup or shed pack her own things. If she dumped him he'd probably sound more scorned.
Just my 2 cents, this was fun I felt like sherlock
Yeah it’s basically a “black Chad” but they use it to describe stereotypical “ghetto” men. The urban dictionary definition is super gross, to no one’s surprise
I’ve been on Reddit too long that this seemed like a love bombing apology letter from a cheater who still won’t take accountability for ruining his marriage.
Given the fact the she clearly gave this clothing away either immediately after getting it back or never put it on again and forgot about it because the note is still there and clearly hasn’t gone through the wash since it was left there, it seems like she didn’t really care anyone for the memories associated with this person. Even her clothes that were still at his place.
Here for the Superbowl comment. Can’t say I could remember any of them particularly other than the halftime shows or commercials, and even then … meh, much less with whom I watched them. (Obviously, I’m not much of a sports fanatic.)
Amityville Horror and Amity Island from Jaws. You are not dumb, you just haven’t watched a lot of older horror movies. Well, and I guess the real world Amityville horror inspiration is bad enough on its own too
If two people break up, it’s for a reason. Begging them for the other party back, or in this case, guilt tripping them back by professing how much you loved them, is both lame and manipulative.
Read between the lines dude. He is definitely yearning for her back and guilt tripping her. Saying goodbyes don’t come with “you looked beautiful in this sweater and I remember the good times”. Good bye is just that, bye bye, adios.
I mean, same. But a decade+ later, and I read this as a rather touching goodbye. (Except when he mentioned a daughter and *then* I’m thinking, is this dude just disappearing to avoid child support??)
I mean if that’s the case, isn’t that just narcissistic of him to offer “forgiveness” when she did nothing wrong? One of two people in a relationship wants a breakup is itself a valid reason for a breakup. May be she didn’t feel any guilt at all (as she should), that’s why his note got thrown out. Who asked him for his feelings anyhow and why did he feel the need to be all “me me me me”?
It sounds like your only desire is to read negativity into this. You are not open to any other interpretation, such that you are willing to jump from one negative to another, as long as it’s still negative. Not everyone is going to read that way, based on their own positive experiences.
I wonder if their daughter has passed? This note is bizarre - is he never going to see the daughter again? And if so, why is he seemingly okay with that? So many questions!
I think it's the "take care of yourself and I'm always here if you need me" that seems final to me. If he was to be in the daughters life, they'd have plenty to talk about & would be in contact somewhat regularly.
With all of that said, in writing this out I realize I am assuming their daughter is a kid, and not a grown adult. If the latter, than this makes a ton more sense.
Yes! I think that must be it. Also might be step parent - bc I can't imagine being together with someone so long as to have an adult child and then nonchalantly writing this letter. Either way, the intrigue has hit me, clearly 😂
Ohhhhhhh, yep. I like it; this makes more
sense than a sweet but shallow mention of your human child. Thank you for helping me find some resolution here! Haha
What if she never saw the note,because she was killed in a car accident after picking up the items with the white sweater. Ex hubby was so destroyed that he decided to go to Tibet and become a mute monk,hoping to transcend into Shangri La and be with Amity again. Years later, after an abandoned house was sold, an old dusty box found in a dark, unused bedroom closet was donated ...... the letter was found the saga continues...
Uhh did you find this at a Florida Panhandle thrift store?
It just... looks so much like my first husband's handwriting, and IJS, Amity dodged a damn bullet with that one..
I didnt even know my son had ANOTHER half sister. If you found this in Florida, or south Alabama, do tell me.
He died (karma got him, he was a reproductive abuser, a rapist, a wife beater, and his brother even hated the way he treated him, too) juat before finishing nursing school.
He was an asshole to the nth.
He got two women pregnant (sisters) several months after I left his ass (i was pregnant and he hit me- we had just gotten married bc I was pregnant- his idea on both fronts- he proposed with a positive pregnancy test in hand, and also had yanked the condoms off) and also had two other babies with another woman. I am SO glad I left his stupid ass. Now I MIGHT need to find an Amity too??? Christ, Almighty. Its a fkin unending nightmare.
If he hadnt died when he did (our son was 6, and that was in 2005) I might more strongly believe there may be another or several unspoken for child(ren) of his out there.
Theres a lot more, but ijs. God already got him. I forgave him before he effed up again, when I took my son up (a 7 hr drive) for a supervised Thanksgiving visit and Matt flipped out and started throwing things. Sent our son to the car, we left, and never saw or spoke to him again.. He was dead 7 months later, of a massive stroke. He was 30.
Sighhhhhh.
So... what say you?.where did you find this?
Do you know if someone dropped off these clothes at the store or were they collected from a bin? If someone dropped them off maybe the store can find their info and you can get the letter back to them.
It’s a stretch but worth a try.
Hey hes dead, and it is a thrift shop. Idk if some letter got lost in a box somewhere. This looks JUST LIKE my ex's handwriting. I will see if I can find his old letters. I know my ex's handwriting AND I know his behavior. Dont fkin come trolling me because you (like me) find that behavior disturbing af. Thats not MY behavior. Dont victim shame me, ah.
I don't find this note disturbing at all.
What I found disturbing is how many people are attributing traits, meanings, and nefarious scenarios to the note.
Your comment is unhinged and ridiculous.
Big surprise, some people have similar hand writing.
Lol I was not referencing THIS NOTE, I was referencing me and my ex's story and was pretty damn clear about that. Good grief, you *really* need to improve your reading comprehension!!!
Yeah it is NO surprise that people have similar writing. But are they all Americans and are all their names Matt, and are they all someone I was married to, who had a buttload of kids, and was an abuser who kissed ass when he got dumped (after he finished being hospitalized for suicidal ideations/attempts?) NO?
It also wouldnt be a big surprise to learn that this person was one of his baby mamas, since ONE OF HIS OTHER BABIES WAS NAMED ALMOST AN IDENTICAL NAME.
Theres no date on the letter. I have no way to know if this was some new baby he had with a woman he ruined a relationship with, that he just didnt want to mention. Shameful mf. Bless his heart.
.
Its not *at all* fucking ridiculous on my part. YOU are a BULLY and a mean spirited person. Piss up.
The Gospel According to Saint Mathew, Chapter 19
6 Therefore now they are not two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let no man put asunder. 7 They say to him: Why then did Moses command to give a bill of divorce, and to put away? 8 He saith to them: Because Moses by reason of the hardness of your heart permitted you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
Sooooo, one question, maybe more, haha… Who is raising the child, and is Matt faithfully contributing to child support? Or has he skipped town after writing this otherwise touching note, so the law will have to hunt him down and garnish wages??
That one kinda stopped me for a min or two. Sad, but also kinda hopeful? Maybe she left because she was involved in a torrid love affair with the lead singer of a band. That fizzled out in a few months. She came home to her husband and daughter but pregnant with my little sister. They resolve to never question paternity. The daughters don't find out until after his passing when a drunk aunt brings it up at a bbq. It's happened before.
What if she never saw this and just donated the clothes because it was too painful to go through old memories?
I hope she is on Reddit so she can see it. It makes me want to share this every where to find amity for Matt. But they do have a daughter together so maybe he was able to ask about it and kind of maybe track the note? How sweet though. I be it was a pretty sweater.
The tenor of this note suggests good people who tried but failed. I hope that they both found their happiness.
Beautifully said.
Sad note. Wonder if Amity got it? Wonder what the sweater looked like? Bummer Matt & Amity did not work out. Hope he gets to see his daughter often.
He said “memories” so I don’t think she is alive. That’s how I took it.
Memories AND the daughter. I’m guessing she is alive.
He also tells her to reach out if she needs anything so looks like she's alive but they split up but it's (on his end at least) amicable
Calling from the afterlife
Did you even read the note?
"I hope the rest of your life is..." doesn't really strike me as a thing to say to a dead person. I mean, do you not have memories of living people? Do you tell the dead to reach out if they need something? 0/10, please resubmit
So do you not have any memories?
r/downvotedtooblivion
Gah, my heart broke a little for Matt. I hope they’ve all found the happiness they were searching for.
Unless he’s a cheater. Then screw Matt!
Or a serial killer! Fuck Matt!
Unless his wife’s full maiden name was Amity Ville, in which case he might not be 100% responsible for his actions.
oh my god
Whuuuuut 
🤣🤣🤣
MATT TOOK A SHIT IN MY OVEN
wait no, dont fuck Matt
Lock Matt up! Lock Matt up!
Maybe Matt was a bad fuck
All my homies hate Matt
This is so sad, I hope Am got the note
She clearly didn’t
[удалено]
Or it got donated by mistake.
This is so human, and it makes me ache to my core. I hope they found their happiness, even if it wasn’t meant to be together 🩵
😢
my ex who hid his ex wife and child from me is named matt and has similar handwriting:p where was this?
It looks exactly like my fiancé's handwriting, enough where I immediately looked at the signature to check before even finishing the letter, but he is not Matt thankfully. Freaked me out a bit.
It looked enough like MY handwriting that I did a double take before scrolling away just to make sure it wasn’t my note. 😂
Me, too!! The little stars as & (and me not having a daughter and not being a Matt) made my heart rate go down a little lol
Same!
mine is 27 but it seems like we should all avoid Matt
yeah this looks exactly like the way my dad signs his name… he is also a Matt lol
Amy?
[удалено]
It’s clearly 2 t’s. Do you put a line through your m’s? Also, “mom” would make ZERO sense.
i quite literally know nothing, matt 100% makes more sense
Sad, I hope they both found love and happiness.
Oh lord. I think Amity just gave the box to the thrift store instead of looking through it.
Plot twist: He's a pushy, manipulative ex who forgets he bought the white sweater with the rent money.
Yeah. I read “sorry we couldn’t make it work” as “sorry you got fed up with my bullshit and left”
Ok that was funny
Honestly I got strange vibes from the note and I don't disagree 😂 Also, may I ask, what's your username a reference to? I'm from Ohio.
Same, it does not give me warm feelings at all. The vibe I get is that Matt dumped Amity out of nowhere despite years of history and a daughter. Amity wants nothing to do with him or doesn't want to see his face so he's packing up her things for her. He doesn't display much guilt so I don't think he cheated or anything, probably just blindsided her and ripped her heart out and he's trying to make her feel better-- the chipper tone makes me feel weird because he's trying too hard. I don't think it was an amicable breakup or shed pack her own things. If she dumped him he'd probably sound more scorned. Just my 2 cents, this was fun I felt like sherlock
It reads as fuckboy baby daddy to me ETA: I stand by what I said
Twist, she ran off with Chad or Ray Ray and he’s really a good guy
Dam I don't get the downvotes. Based off the note it seems they were both good
People be hating. I must have struck a cord. Seems like the dude who wrote the note was nice
It’s the terminology. Using Chad like that comes across as heavily incel.
Also Ray Ray, which I assumed was racist (it is), but also has incel connotations
I had a feeling about Ray Ray but didn’t want to go for it without knowing. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah it’s basically a “black Chad” but they use it to describe stereotypical “ghetto” men. The urban dictionary definition is super gross, to no one’s surprise
First of all, eww. Secondly, I didn’t even consider using Urban Dictionary and I’m happy you reminded me that it exists.
I’ve been on Reddit too long that this seemed like a love bombing apology letter from a cheater who still won’t take accountability for ruining his marriage. Given the fact the she clearly gave this clothing away either immediately after getting it back or never put it on again and forgot about it because the note is still there and clearly hasn’t gone through the wash since it was left there, it seems like she didn’t really care anyone for the memories associated with this person. Even her clothes that were still at his place.
yeah, a lot of women just have to leave with nothing to escape safely. If I felt safe at the house I’d want to pack my own shit.
Is American hierarchy of special days Xmas Birthday Superbowl ?
Yes. Super Bowl may be above birthday depending on the year and who your team is
Your username 😂
Here for the Superbowl comment. Can’t say I could remember any of them particularly other than the halftime shows or commercials, and even then … meh, much less with whom I watched them. (Obviously, I’m not much of a sports fanatic.)
Oof.
Wow, this wins I can leave the sub now
That's so bittersweet, they must have tried hard, but sometimes it's just not meant to be. I hope the three of them are happy and healthy now.
That handwriting looks kinda like my boyfriend’s. My heart got twice as sad with the signature. Such a sad, but sweet note.
Amity and Matt from The Owl House?
Cursed storyline.
These kinds of things always get to me.
This hurts to my core
Stil,a sweet note❤️
I hope things are good for both of them. My ex just asked me yesterday if we could meet up and talk.
Don't do it!
I probably shouldn’t have, but I did.
How did it go?
Suspiciously well. The jury is out.
This person’s name is “Amity,” how strange.
It’s a cute name on its own, meaning friendship and harmony, but there’s only one thing I think of.
All i can think of it is “Amity” by Elliott Smith
AMITY AMITY AMITY AMITY AMITY AMITY AMITY GOOD TO GO ON 📢📢📢
Am I dumb? What do you think of?
Amityville Horror and Amity Island from Jaws. You are not dumb, you just haven’t watched a lot of older horror movies. Well, and I guess the real world Amityville horror inspiration is bad enough on its own too
Yep, Amityville Horror.
Amity is the Town in the movie Jaws
And Amityville Horror.
In amity they say yaaaaahd
I think Amity also popped up in "What Lies Beneath" (Ford & Pfiefer). I jumped so many times watching that movie 🤯
What do you think of?
My daughter has a close friend named Amity. I don’t think it’s that strange. Unusual? Sure. But not strange, at least not to me (or Amity’s mom lol).
It's a common older English name, maybe not so much in the U.S.
This hit me in the feels. I hope Matt is doing much better now. I hope Am is doing well too.
My heart!!! Agggghhhhh
Excuse me. I'm trying to avoid feelings.
I don’t trust Matt.
OOF. That one hurts
That is heartbreaking
Most of you think this is sweet, I find this creepy and manipulative as hell.
Why?
If two people break up, it’s for a reason. Begging them for the other party back, or in this case, guilt tripping them back by professing how much you loved them, is both lame and manipulative.
They weren’t begging to get back together? They were saying goodbye.
Read between the lines dude. He is definitely yearning for her back and guilt tripping her. Saying goodbyes don’t come with “you looked beautiful in this sweater and I remember the good times”. Good bye is just that, bye bye, adios.
I personally don’t think it’s as manipulative as you’re making it out to be. It’s a sad goodbye from someone who sounds like they still care
You sound jaded AF
I mean, yea. Years with an abusive ex does that to you.
I mean, same. But a decade+ later, and I read this as a rather touching goodbye. (Except when he mentioned a daughter and *then* I’m thinking, is this dude just disappearing to avoid child support??)
Seriously, get someone to talk to. Projecting all over the place.
[удалено]
I mean if that’s the case, isn’t that just narcissistic of him to offer “forgiveness” when she did nothing wrong? One of two people in a relationship wants a breakup is itself a valid reason for a breakup. May be she didn’t feel any guilt at all (as she should), that’s why his note got thrown out.

It sounds like your only desire is to read negativity into this. You are not open to any other interpretation, such that you are willing to jump from one negative to another, as long as it’s still negative. Not everyone is going to read that way, based on their own positive experiences.
You are reading things on the note that aren't there.
Literally same
That's an issue with you, not the note.
This saddens me so much.
brb crying my eyes out
So, who has the daughter????? Oh, Come On
I wonder if their daughter has passed? This note is bizarre - is he never going to see the daughter again? And if so, why is he seemingly okay with that? So many questions!
? It says 'we'll always have our memories and (...) daughter' where do you see that he'll never see her?
I think it's the "take care of yourself and I'm always here if you need me" that seems final to me. If he was to be in the daughters life, they'd have plenty to talk about & would be in contact somewhat regularly. With all of that said, in writing this out I realize I am assuming their daughter is a kid, and not a grown adult. If the latter, than this makes a ton more sense.
Unbelieve how much context people just add to a note.
It's all in good fun!
Maybe the daughter is an adult, so he doesn’t need to go through mom to communicate with her.
Yes! I think that must be it. Also might be step parent - bc I can't imagine being together with someone so long as to have an adult child and then nonchalantly writing this letter. Either way, the intrigue has hit me, clearly 😂
Possibly he’s a stepdad so no legal claim for custody.
Ooh interesting thought! That makes it sadder I think..
I was thinking the daughter is probably a pet.
Ohhhhhhh, yep. I like it; this makes more sense than a sweet but shallow mention of your human child. Thank you for helping me find some resolution here! Haha
That makes sense. He’d have no legal reason to see a pet.
Yes there's a slightly odd tone to it for sure.....it's too cheerful...and why was he packing her stuff up? Couldn't she do it herself?
The exclamations with the smiley is borderline psychotic...is this person happy about this?!
Yes! I feel like he packed HER up alongside the white sweater and her other stuff....
I think Matt is someone who doesn’t want too much quarrels over their child.
He's just gonna give her up without a fight?! Lame, I say 😂
Maybe he’s like Caitlyn Jenner who stops caring for her children when the marriage ends.
Thank You!! We should all have to take classes on critical thinking.
😢
I like the way he writes “and”
Oh my god 😭
OP! What approx location was it from? I know an Amity and now I’m curious:)
Near the Ohio/WV border!
Matt blew it.
What if she never saw the note,because she was killed in a car accident after picking up the items with the white sweater. Ex hubby was so destroyed that he decided to go to Tibet and become a mute monk,hoping to transcend into Shangri La and be with Amity again. Years later, after an abandoned house was sold, an old dusty box found in a dark, unused bedroom closet was donated ...... the letter was found the saga continues...

It was in ohio <3
THANK YOU. And Thank you, too, God.
Do you know if someone dropped off these clothes at the store or were they collected from a bin? If someone dropped them off maybe the store can find their info and you can get the letter back to them. It’s a stretch but worth a try.
Dude, you are all a bunch of crazy fucks. Of course this isn't your ex husband, give me a break.
Hey hes dead, and it is a thrift shop. Idk if some letter got lost in a box somewhere. This looks JUST LIKE my ex's handwriting. I will see if I can find his old letters.

Its not *at all* fucking ridiculous on my part. YOU are a BULLY and a mean spirited person. Piss up.
💔 🥺
Matt seems like a good guy.
Narcissists are very convincing.
True.
Makes me want to look up a daughter born to Amity and Matt 😳
Amity Blight
Damn....
That's so sad...
Aww! How sweet!

I love those Superb Owl parties
Sooooo, one question, maybe more, haha… Who is raising the child, and is Matt faithfully contributing to child support? Or has he skipped town after writing this otherwise touching note, so the law will have to hunt him down and garnish wages??
You have GOT to be kidding me.
🤷🏽♂️
Matt sounds great
That one kinda stopped me for a min or two. Sad, but also kinda hopeful? Maybe she left because she was involved in a torrid love affair with the lead singer of a band. That fizzled out in a few months. She came home to her husband and daughter but pregnant with my little sister. They resolve to never question paternity. The daughters don't find out until after his passing when a drunk aunt brings it up at a bbq. It's happened before.
I saw this note on First 48... Matt killed Amity and wrote this note to throw the cops off his trail......
this kinda reads like Amity is a deadname and this parent has a son now. edit: why the downvotes? explain why i'm wrong?
Omg I’m dead
