| Topic: What to do with "ex" stuff? | |

My last girlfriend and I were exceptionally close to each other, despite the couple thousand miles distance between us. So of course one of the ways we kept in touch (besides lots of phone calls, IMs, and webcam conversations
 ) was to send each other little doodads from where we lived, T-shirts and trinkets from where we both lived and such. She got me a Pismo Beach, CA keychain that blinks my name when it sees sunlight that I use as a zipper tug on the front pocket of my laptop bag, I got her a vintage tee from Slinger Superspeeday in Slinger, WI (she's just as big a motorhead as I am), stuff like that. Well, now that she's gone and I'm trying to move on, I keep seeing her gifts everywhere and it brings me down. I'm trying to decide if I should put most if not all of it in a shoebox and bury it in the back corner of my closet, or what? I don't wanna toss it, we still try to stay friends. I dunno

i have a mp3 that a ex gave me and flowers that he gave me while i was in the hospitol.. those are the memories i cherish him. as i cant speak to him any more in person as he died almost 2yrs ago but i know that hes around me in spirit as i have heard his voice a number of times... i only wish that i had talked to him before he went into the hospitol, but i didnt, and i didnt find out that he died untill a few days later when his mom called and told me..... he had a very good heart but had alot of issue

Even if you really wanted to forget everything, you can't forget your memories. If you like the stuff, I say just keep them and keep on using them. If it really bothers you, the shoebox idea is pretty good...I've done that b4 but some day ur gonna end up stumbling onto all that stuff again anyways tho, ur reactions always just gonna rely on ur mindset at the time and where ur at with your life.
Scars look horrible when you first look at them, give them time and they blend in with your skin a little better.. |

I've never understood why people do that!
Why would you keep it? I know I leave my ex boyfriends exactly where they belong- In my PAST! |

Yes, put it all in a box and look for a good place for it. Something like a secret place, worth for keeping this stuff.
I did it and everytime I moved house, I held it in my hands and had to decide,if I should throw it away. I did not. Still have this box under my bed  These days it makes me smile when I look at all the letters and little presents inside, and sometimes I really do. It's a part of my life, so why should I dump it? |

Cards and letters I toss.
My GF bought me some nice things and after we broke up I gave her a car. so...I'm going to hold onto the material things. |
