keeping stuff from previous relationships..

[spk]

Do you still have loads of stuff from past relationships, love letters, photos, why do you keep them?

[Champagne]

No I don't. I don't even have photos of some ex-boyfriends!! It's not because I don't mean to necessarily, but it's just the way it worked out for me. I tend not to keep love letters/cards anyway, so they eventually get scrapped! And aside from my most recent ex, I don't have any items in my house which make me think of any of my previous partners. That's kinda sad in a way. Am I weird?

I tend to keep things, then a couple of years later think 'Why have I kept that rubbish?!' and in the bin it goes :D

[Lady Muck]

No. I don't keep anything.

just an ache in my heart, a tear in my eye and a pain in my ass :-)

Do you mean apart from memories and the voodoo doll?

[Mr Tall]

I do, I suppose it's because I have no bad feelings towards them.

[nat_84]

Yeah, in a bag and under my bed. Will probably get rid of them soon though!?

SO spk how come ur back?!

[Lady Muck]

I don't think it's a bad feelings thing, I've no real bad feelings towards any of the significant relationships I've had. Well i feel mighty sorry for one of them but that's about it... I just believe that the past is the past and this person is no longer your concern. Just as you are no longer theirs.

Also I think having loads of reminders around is never going to help anyone in this situation.

I've got a bag of stuff tucked away just inside the loft. There's recent things in there like cards, but I also have lots of little love letters and my diary from when I was 14-15ish. They all go together though, so I'll definitely keep them and I can read it all back when I'm older. :o)

Hi, hun! :o) x

[redcrx]

i have still got my wedding album and loads of stuff from my previous boyfriends too. I dont see a problem with keeping things from my past, after all it was my past that made me who i am.
Maybe i would think twice had i got any bad feelings about the relationships but i dont.

[ummmm]

I've still got a wardrobe full of clothes that he hasn't come back for it....

Just curious is all,

Nat Im back for keeps I have a job with web access again woohoo ! Good to know my old favourites are still here and soldiered on without me ;O)

[curlyfilm]

only scars from removing the kinves from me back!!!!

[Octavius]

It depends on how the past relationship ended I suppose. If your previous partner had died, it might be a fair enough reason that you keep something �Ad eorum memoriam quos valde amo�. Providing it was out of regular sight if you embark on a new relationship (i.e. no urn on the mantelpiece).

But if it was a one night stand then probably best not to keep anything that would enable them to track you down!

I used to have love letters and photos of my first boyfriend ~ we were together for 3 years and I loved him to bits.

My ex husband burned the lot one day..and to be honest I think that was the start of my loathing of him!

When I told Mr P about it he swore blind he wouldn't have done the same. Although part of me thinks that I wouldn't have kept it all if I had married him instead of my ex...

[spurslady]

Yes letters, but they were stupid teenage things nothing deep and meaningful and I have a fair few skeletons lurking in the closet. But I find it hard to remember most as I was totally Peed out of my skull when I did them.
