Should you ditch those pix, letters & cards from your X-es?

[FAMU]

I want to ask:

At what point do you ditch pictures, letters, and cards from your X-es? Or should you have to?

And

For those who are married- what did you guys do with your pictures, letters, and cards from your X-es?

I only have one of my oldest daughters dad. It is us in the hospital when I was having her but that is about it.

I guess once you know you are serious and want to throw them out. I probably would keep them. It was a part of my life and I would not want to throw out my memories.

I personally still have letters from my high school boyfriend. I have a ring and letters from my daughter's father. I dont know if i will ever get rid of them because they are a part of something that i will always remember. I dont look at them everyday...havent looked at them in quite awhile. But one day when i am older...it would be nice (and funny) to look at them again.

man! the pics are at my cousins house....some of them....were totally UNcool (nobody needs to see them) pics!

i still have letters and stuff...in boxes somewhere....

I still have pics, cards & letters from the past. It's never crossed my mind to get rid of them.

[seductive_tee]

I still have all of mine......some just tucked away......

I had this same discussion recently. Personally, I still have a few things. I think that until you marry ,it's ok to keep some things from your ex/exes. But after you're married,that stuff should go. You are planning to be with this person forever,so why would you want reminders of an old relationship?

[HulaSista]

if i can keep mines......he can keep his.......

[que90nek]

u keep it because the total sum of what you WERE...is what you ARE today.

[Vronni]

But Que,if this is just part of your history,why can't you keep it at your house,in plain view? I have heard men say that they keep pictures of the ex but I wonder if they are as cool with their s/o,wife having pictures of their ex? Ladies,what has been your experience with this?

But I don't display it. It's tucked away in the closet.

Hmmm. what did I do?

Well I am a computer nerd so I have them backed up on CD-R. Since I like porn I tend to let my friend know that I have pics, I like pics and I can take pics. I did however erase all video tapes that I had.. well at least the VHS versions. I am digitizing the rest and putting them on CD. You can keep the stuff or scan it/upload it to a xdrive and store it there. You can also publish them to a website that only you have the URL. No one can see it but you. Computer works for me.

[misha]

Some I have kept, some I have gotten rid of.....I am sure he has some as well.

I don't look at them often, but sometimes, I enjoy looking at them. I feel that it's nice to look at my past.

By "them", I mean any letters. I can't speak on any XX pics, that's for yall freaky folks! But I had a girlfriend that wrote some great poetry. It was totally from the heart and it made me feel like a million that I was the one that inspired her. I found it in some old boxes not long after we were married, and I wanted to read some of it to my wife. She asked me if I was crazy! No way she wanted to hear some sweet words that another woman wrote me! It was fine to keep them, "but keep them to your self", she said. It is a part of our lives, and as long as it was over before your present relationship, there shouldn't be a problem with it.
