Throw it out or hold onto it?

[Blood]

People have ex-girlfriends and ex-boyfriends. I suggest not staying with a man/woman who throws a fit if they happen to find some pictures of ex's or something. That's childish.

Crap, this thread made me accidentally bring up my ex during dinner. I was listing out a bunch of college friends and I accidentally mentioned her name. My fiancee was pretending to be "play upset" but I could tell she was bothered by it. Dumb, I don't know why I brought her up.

but you cant beat a broken in set of chucks

I had a relationship break on me today, but there is no way in hell im throwing away any photos/letters or the special necklace I got from my gf.

Hide them so she wouldn't find it. Even if she does, there's a corresponding date written on every letter so she'll know you aren't cheating on her. Moreover, I assure you she will find it enjoyable reading your ex-gf's letters along with you.

My gf found pictures of ex's (she stumbled on them, I didn't try to hide them) and she did *not* enjoy seeing them. I ended up trashing all the "reminders" I was keeping. That was something I was going to do anyway but she found it before I got around to it.

If you are serious about your current gf, then ex's shouldn't matter to you. Rip it up, throw it out. (Keep the Chucks.) I know you want to remember and not lose the past (which is part of you)....but really, there's not much use for them. It's good for your current relationship to "erase" the past. Obviously, the things you learned you keep. But pictures are, in a way, holding onto past loves. Better to be done with it.

keep them. I bet you ten years down the road, you'll really enjoy looking at all that shit again.

4 AM is pushing it Cops, please let me get some sleep.

you slept like a baby last night, you've got to give me credit for having a fucked up schedule and still being able to post a decent thread.

I tried to call you but I couldn't get a hold of you. Taxtron told me that Revenue Canada is down but they will probably be back up tomorrow so I can do the taxes tomorrow and pay you back for the money you lent me, apparently they just deduct the money off your tax return, so um I need the money you lent me for the concernt tonight but i'll give you back the 60 tomorrow.

rather than ignoring, i would:

confront -> suffer -> dismiss

I 100% agree with that on a personal level, that's exactly what I do, but not everyone goes about those things the same way, the confrontation just makes things worse permananently for some people.

The top drawer of my dresser is filled with old scrapbooks my ex and I made, every single note I ever got from all my friends in middle school, pictures of us, and all of that stuff. Whenever I'm bored it's always fun to look through there.

[Stompa]

I still have all my old stuff. I thought about throwing it out but it's a reminder of good memories. I don't actually read the stuff though, just keep it for sentimental value.

To blood, it depends on things like, how much greaf (sp???) you still have or how the breakup went, if it still hurts after a 6 months then it is not a good idea to keep them coz it will couse more pain.

I think i got some stuff left. I guess it's always nice looking at after a few years. Things that reminds you of girls who really, i mean really, meant something to you I think you should save! Don't save like old condoms k

Read them through with your girl and your ex:

INSTA CATFIGHT

possible outcomes:
1) They end up making out
2) Your ego is boosted tenfold
3) You end up without a girlfriend but had tons of fun for a while.
