    What to do with old stuff from relationship?
    Hey everyone,

    I broke up with my boyfriend in about April time or so and thought I'd managed to sort out all his stuff that was at my house, which I gave back to him, and things that were sentimental from our relationship (valentines cards, presents etc), which I put in a memory box and put them out of sight... But there's some things which I 'm really stuck what to do with?

    Cleaning out my room and drawers today I came across a lot of lingerie and stuff that I'd bought for romantic nights in with him, corsets, stockings etc.. Now that we've broken up I obviously have no use for it.. I don't want to throw it away because some of the stuff cost me a lot of money, but then I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable using it in a future relationship if I bought it to wear for my ex...

    Any advice? :/

    I binned all my stuff or took it to the charity shop as my ex was abusive and I wanted no reminders of him. Get rid and start a fresh with your new partner. If it's day to day underwear there is no harm in wearing it.

    Thanks. Luckily the split with my ex was relatively amicable, so I'm alright in that sense. It's really underwear/lingerie that is not really day to day, but I'm not sure how comfortable I'd be wearing it with anyone else in the future.
