Answer 1

Don't throw it away yet. You may be mad now but those are memories you may want later. Pack it all in a box, tape it closed & forget about it. In fifty years, you may like to walk down memory lane & remember just how hot you were "then".


Note to your detail. From my personal experience, the memories bittersweet at worst. I love to look at my old cards, pics etc and remember the fun we had. I realize that we could not have been together but and so thankful for the memories. Look at it this way, in a year or two or twenty you can always throw the things away but you cannot get them back once they are gone.
Good luck, I hope you find what you are looking for.

Answer 2

I would hang onto them. Get a memento or photo box and just stick it all in there (except maybe the teddies/stuffed animals? That kind of stuff takes up a lot of room, and in my opinion the written stuff like love letters and the pictures are most important...) and lock it in your closet or somewhere else for awhile. Don't look at it until you think you're really over him, I don't know maybe give it 3 or 4 months to start out. You can always get rid of them later, where if you trash them now and change your mind there is NO getting them back.

Answer 3

It depends on YOU .When I broke up with my ex of 5yrs I realized we will never be together and I threw everything out ... it was the best thing i ever did

Answer 4

I say wait one year. You will be better able to judge it then, and remember that you can ALWAYS throw something out but you can't bring it back again.

Answer 5

Get rid of that stuff. If you are really truly done with the relationship then getting rid of this stuff will actually help. Good luck

Answer 6

i would agree wait a while and then decide .I still have my ex stuff from years now and still don't want to throw them out.They are memories sweet memories that will never come back and we have to cherish them .

Answer 7

If you don't to be reminded of him,yes.

Answer 8

burn it, trust me, there's no point in keeping all of that crap. it's just taking up space!!
