Do you keep EX-boxes?

Haha This is kinda funny cause once a man leaves me, I leave him. Its done, finished....There's no more for me to think about. My last BF he walked out the door, so I gathered his crap and threw it in the dumpster. He later went dumpster diving LMFAO....But before he left and I did that He put his fist through my wall several times and trashed my apt and my presonnal items so he didn't get even half of what he deserved. But after picking my apt up and having to patch my walls, I did feel better watching that loser dig through the magets and nastiness of the dumpster, soooo gross. But like I said he was a butt. Later I got with my now BF and he's such a great guy and I don't need to remember any of the past losers.....cause thats what they are, losers. If your a good person you deserve the best out of your partner and if they leave you or treat you bad then why remember that? My sister kept pics of her past BF's and I did her favor and trashed them. Yeah she was pissed but oh well She doesn't need those pics. She has a great husband now and thats all she needs, in my oppinion. And those guys were idiots, well more than idiots but thats not mylot approved words LOL. Now I could see keeping stuff from childhood, but BF stuff no no, junk it and move on because thats what they did.

I don't keep any letters, cards but I have some gifts (like teddy bears) the rest I threw out. I shouldn't keep it but I see it as a waste if I gave it out.

I don't think it necessarily means that you aren't over your ex, but I think it's cool to keep that kind of stuff just for nostalgia's sake, you know? They'd be fun to read over in the future. I have never had this. I throw a lot of stuff away (and donate it) because I am just so bad at saving things. I just like things to be clean. I wish I would have saved even some of my old journals from when I was ~10 years old, letters from guys, and so on, but so far I have nothing saved. I guess I"m only 20..Maybe I'll start to do that with the next guy I meet. lol.

I have some letters and things from a couple of former boyfriends, who were my friends long before we started dating and continue to be my friend to this day. If they've had some kind of profound impact on my life, I'll keep it around. I do have a journal, though, that I wrote when a man I used to date traveled for his job... he'd be where I lived for 4-10 weeks at a time and then fly back 1600 miles home for a day or two, sometimes a few weeks, and on some occasions, even several months. I'm really not sure why I keep it around, I've dislodged myself from everything else associated with past romances, except for this journal.

you do right thing keeping things^^ there is nothing wrong that you save things from your past. that doesnt mean you didnt get over it. just maybe means that you had good memories^^ and that you dont want to delete from your life so easily. i dont feel nothing for my ex anymore but i keep a notebook with things that i wrote for him^^ is a cute thing that i did so i keep that^^

Yes, it's the memories that go with these stuff we keep and not necessarily the people that gave the stuff. They' served as reminders of what has been in a particular period of time
