Assume you had a pile of old love letters from an ex girlfriend or boyfriend each on one or two sheets of A4 or foolscap paper, that you decide you don't want to keep anymore. What would you do to them before binning them?
Assume you don't have a shredder or a fire available, so you have the choice of simply binning, screwing, folding them, or tearing them in some way. How would you do it and why? Would it depend on the content of the letters or on how you were feeling?
If you had some photographs of your ex lover, how would you deal with those before binning them?

I would take each one in turn, fold it in half, and then rip it half four or five times. Then, after I had torn all of the letters, mix the pieces around in the bin so nobody would have a chance of reading them. I don't think it would depend on who it was or how I was feeling because I wouldn't want anyone else to read them so I'd always tear them up. If it had been a bad break, it could be quite satsifying to rip their letters though!
Photographs would be the same. I'd tear them in half four or five times so they can't be looked at. I actually did this a year ago when I dumped my boyfriend.
If I could use fire I'd rip everything first and then burn it.

If I felt really hurt I would tear the letters into tiny shreds just to make me feel better. With the photos I may draw faces on them or use them as a dart board. If the photos were a bit naughty I would post them around the web or send them via multi media messaging so everybody could have a laugh.

Well when I split with my ex, I had to get rid of everything that reminded me of him. I just got an ashtray and a lighter and I burned every picture we ever had or any that reminded me of him. I wouldnt just bin them or tear them cos you may just want to keep them and you'll be tempted. However, some exes stuff I have kept as they bring back good memories.
I would just tear them into tiny tiny pieces cos then you cant tape them back up again..fire is better as they would be gone for good.

I would have burned them if you had allowed me fire. Failing that I would have great pleasure in tearing them up into tiny shreds and imagining that I was tearing him to bits at the same time! Depends how the person felt about the ex though.

It amazing when you say fire is not an option, how many people suggest burning them. They ought to read the whole question. How about tearing them into small pieces and then boiling them in a pan of boiling water?

Want to know how to get your ex back? Change yourself. Don't worry about changing other people, worry about changing yourself. Go to https://tr.im/9Ppvf
Once you do that then you can start to worry about getting back together with your ex, other wise you will find that you are fighting about all the same things and getting no where. Do what it takes and I promise things will work out in your favor.
The funny thing is I came to the realization that I had to change a little too late. After I was kicked out and after I was about to lose the only things that truly mattered to me - her love. A funny thing happens when we truly love someone and lose them. We do what ever it takes to get them back. For me I had to drop bad habits that had caused not only our relationship to sour but practically every other relationship I had had in the past. Not only with women, but with friends, co-workers, family, you name it.
Which is why I say to you as my ex at the time said to me, the only thing you can do is change yourself. Work on yourself and improve on the person that you already are. Drop the negative things in your life that don't belong there and you will see all of your relationships start to take off to new heights.

Place them (one at a time, page by page) in HOT water and turn them into papier-mache (you can add a little flour to this too), then leave it to soak for 24 hours.

depends on the relationship.
If we are still friends, maybe shred the letters, and keep the photos
If he was a complete jerk and I hate him - burn the letters and the photos... invite my friends over to help, and have margaritas!
