do you give back the stuff of your ex?

I used to do that thing before when me and boyfriend decided to end our relationship. I always do this because I don't want to have something which would remind about him and our relationship. Usually I put them in a box and let it return to my ex-boyfriend as soon as possible or else I might burn them all.

Well, same to me but too bad, I will throw it away or burned it coz whether its good or bad memory, it's always in my mind and i dont need all that things to remind me :D

heheheh.. me, i have the tendency to return it to the person giving it to me, because when i am really hurt, i cannot find any reason why i should keep it..and keeping it would only mean hurting myself because whenever i look at the gifts, letters and stuffs that he gave me, it reminds me of our happy past which i know i would no longer be having with him since we are ending the relationship!:) well, i had this experience in january wherein my boyfriend and i almost break up.. just almost because happily, it didnt push through.. okay here is what happened..he didnt show up for more than a week and he stopped texting me..and that was christmas, i wasnt able to take it anymore so i got all the stuffs that he gave me, his cap, cd's, letters, and everything else.. and i also brought my christmas gift that i actually prepared for him and went to his place.. when i gave the stuffs back to him with my gift, he just got the christmas gift that i gave him and he told me i shouldnt return the stuffs that he gave me because they were mine already.. when i remembered i still got his pictures in my wallet, i got them and give it to him, that was when he get mad and tried to burn his pictures.. but then i grabbed it from him..hehe but the story actually didnt end there, after all the crying and tears, we didnt break up.. and were still together till now! that's happy!:)

Hi cherriemae! i junked all the stuffs that i have from my ex's, and thrown it all when i am already married, just for formality that i am married now and need not to look for my ex's because i just think my husband might be jealous of them.hahaha

no, i don't give it back. i don't look at em too.. unless i stumble upon it.. (not that it's just lying everywhere strewn about). But like soft toys, i've given them to my younger sister and now my son. Haha. Nothing wrong with that, right? If i lost them, then so be it. But i don't throw it away either. After all, i'm a clutter-keeper. I haven't even thrown away supermarket receipts from the past few years. haha..

hmmm....i got some letters before not from my ex its from my suitors...they used to give letters... after reading and then i have made my mind that i dont like the guy...nor giving him a chance...i just giving back his letter...want would i do with those? those are just waste that will fill my waste basket... But i do keep those letters that was good to read at... And those letters from the person i liked... Its a memory that i have to cherish... Unluckily my mom saw it where i placed those letters and my mom...i dont what she did to those letters...maybe she keep it somewhere or maybe throwned it all away...i dont know...coz i never ask...

I only did that one time in my life. I just didn't like the guy that much and I didn't want his pictures to remind me of him. So, instead of throwing them away, I gave them back.

Well when I got Divorced I gave my Daughter the Bracelet my Ex bought me once and also the Wedding Ring Everything else went in the Bin was not worth keeping. The Photos went to my Daughter as she wanted to keep them

I don't give back the things which I got from my girl friend because for me they are considered as things of Joy & smile..

nope I sure WON"T it was given to me to have it and that is what I'm going to do is keep it until I feel like trashing it or given it someone else that may be able to benefit from it.

I surely don't give it back! A gift is a gift...I don't belive it must be returned.

I won't give it back. Because it'll be so hurtful for my ex-boyfriend to receive them. After all, we had a nice memory, why I have to spoil this good memory. I will keep them well.

I've gone through a lot of ex's in my lifetime. And, every time, I have always given the stuff back because the guys ended up being violent or otherwise abusive, and NO WAY do I want to have that stuff in my place to keep reminding me of those creeps! I'd go insane if that stuff was in my apartment!

It depends on the situation. If the relationship is really nice, then i won't give them back. But if the relationship was a terrible one, then i'll burn them all. sorry for him.

I keep it for memories whether good or not it is still kept as it was a part of my life and I can't change that.... There were still happy times...

If theese are his things and he needs them back-i will give them, if theese are some presents- i will keep or junk, it depends of the material and sentimental value theese things have for me.

No i don't ... To me when they give you something it is yours to keep..I also think that you should keep all your stuff,and one day you can show your grandchildren.That is your past,your memories and i feel very strongly that you should keep all the things.I still have things from my first date..

Since moving on, getting engaged and having my daughter the only thing I have left from my ex are some pictures. And I have those packed away in a box. I don't like getting rid of pictures because they are memories of events no matter who you happened to be with at the time. I don't expect my fiance to get rid of pictures of any of his exes and he respects my pictures as well. We just pack them away and don't have them hanging on walls or anything. But everything else I've either trashed or given away. There is no reason for me to keep letters and things like that.

No, i don't give back those stuffs even i hated him so much. I just keep it and see it once in a while remembering the past.

Mostly, I get rid of a lot of the stuff that my exes gave me. Especially if I have moved on to a new relationship, I don't really want their stuff around, reminding me (and my new SO) of them. It just works out better that way.
