Throw it out or hold onto it?

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.

Keep everything. If you find yourself growing weak and longing for an old girlfriend when you should not, the materials are excellent because with them you can test yourself if you're strong enough to resist the temptation. Burning and throwing away stuff is a sign of weakness.

Like alot of things in life: if you doupt it, don't do it.
If it doesn't take space you need, it doesn't mather, so let it stay there until you move or need the space. Delay the decision. Maybe later on you're ready to let your teddybear go.

I keep all the letters, because they are good memories but other stuff that have no sentimental meanings, I just throw away.

I think in the end, cops, you're going to be the only one that can make that kind of decision. It really comes down to how important things of sentiment are to you, and really what kind of meaning they hold. If you can look at them and remember good times or if you think you can sometime down the road then maybe you wouldn't want to get rid of them.
Make the decision when you're sure of how you're going to react to them, because you can choose to not throw them away, and then do so later. But once they're gone, you can't get them back.
It's a pity every relationship can't end nicely, eh?

I throw away almost everything ... pics and letters mostly. Not worth it to keep unless it's useful in some practical way.

Throw it out or hold onto it?
Earlier tonight I was trying to find a cd my girlfriend recently made for me which has pictures of our six month anniversary, we decided that we'd both love to go to Niagara falls and spent a few nights down there after Christmas. As I searched through my closet full of empty bags, shirts, Nintendo's, posters, papers, and computer parts Kolar wont throw out when I stumbled upon a box i haven't seen in quite some time. I started the box about four years ago which has patches, letters, pictures, movie stubs and concert tickets. I was able to get a few concert stubs signed from the guys in Bad Religion.
I was enjoying looking through old memories at three in the morning until I found old pictures of my ex-girlfriend and letters she sent to me, I sat in my closet thinking for a few minutes and decided to tear them up and throw them out. I regretted throwing out letters when I was younger of past girlfriends but then again those items can pull on a person especially if the relationship didn't end in such a manner that a person can say to themselves "It wasn't worth my time, and I'm completely fine with never seeing this person again". I'd like my kids to one day see all the things that I did when I was young. I'm curious as to how people deal with possessions that their ex's left lingering around their bedrooms and houses?
I've got a pair of lime-green chucks that I got from my ex but there is no way in hell I'm ever throwing these bad boys out. My chucks are easily my favorite pair of shoes, besides my slippers. My current girlfriend drew a Turtle and a Phoenix on the plastic white part on the heel of the shoe so every time I look at them I think of her and not the ex.Last edited by Cops; 03-06-2007, 02:49 PM.Tags: None
