Keep 'em. :smile:

It's nice to know that someone loved you that much once. If he turned out to be a bastard, I probably would have binned them. But he's not, so they are nice memories. And yes, I still look at them from time to time. No point keeping them otherwise.
So no one else gets letters, cards and gifts? :confused:

Lol I would say keep them for the same reason as Susie (is your real name katie?) says, generally the good memories they bring will outweigh the bad.

Yeah, my name's Katie. :smile:

I still speak to this guy several times a week and we split up 18 months ago, so I'd say the good memories definitely outweigh the bad.

In a brown box, sellotaped up, in the attic. Probably won't look at them again (or not for a very long time) but they're all there.

I've ripped things up in mad fits before after things ended and regretted it so this is why I've taken this route now :smile:
Leave them around for new girlfriends to find and bust your chops over!
Well, crepes.

All a little too late now... but I did look at some and think, oooh, I remember that... hmm, oooh... errr. Hohum. *bin*

Hmm, maybe binning was the right move then.
yes, i keep them, all cards and presents, sometimes if I dont like some present I can give it to someone I know for sure would liek to have it :biggrin: and I like to look at my cards sometimes, but it happens just when I clean my table from all useless papers, like 1 time in 6 monthes or smth liek that.
(Drogue - you'll probably be shocked to hear I recently wiped out all my sugarcubes too)

I always kept everything until very recently. Not that I ever looked at any of it it was just easier to keep it in a box under my bed in case I felt like it one day. I moved house pretty recently and when I got back from uni there were so many boxes I couldn't move my uni stuff into my room! So one of the things I did was to throw away literally everything. - even stuffed toys went to jumble sales etc. I was proud :cool:
Return the gifts if he'll have them, keep the cards etc. I only return gifts because I feel he bought them for me when we meant something to each other and and I don't feel right keeping them. That's a personal thing though.

The cards are fun to look over every now and then - especially to restore your faith in mankind after the next messy breakup lol
Yeah this is weird.. I just found some this morning in this box in my room. 3 years on I don't really want to throw them away. Then again I dont really have any desire to look at them either..

Keep it in a box, tape it up and whack it under the bed. Then, one day in the not too distant future when I want to start a fire (in a hearth, mind you), I have assorted kindling AND knicknacks I can flog on Ebay!! Yeah!!
I shredded mine.
It felt amazing to shred old letters, cards and photos.

They all get binned. I move around so often and I don't have a permanent room anywhere so it makes sense not to have any excess baggage. I keep all the ones from my current boyfriend though. For a while I was even keeping all the texts, but when it got up to 200 I had to start letting them go :frown:

Lol I love the randomness of phones...
I've kept mine, I have ripped some up when I was angry, wish I hadn't. So I only have one left.
