Hawk9 Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 So, I saw the recent thread regarding jewelry. This hasn't caused any significant problems or anything with my SO, but I was curious what people have done in situations similar before. Anyway, she has teddy bears and jewelry from exes. I'm totally fine with her keeping those things. I also have a couple of items of "man jewelry" from an ex, so no big deal for both of us. For a while, we agreed it was not an issue to keep other memorabilia from relationships. Pictures, etc. we have stored in our closets. However, she stumbled upon some old love notes I had (I honestly forgot about them and they were packed away in a box with some other junk) and decided to read them. It upset her a lot. A few months before this, her crazy ex dropped a photo album she had made for him several years ago that she entitled "The Story of Us." She still has that at the back of her closet. Anyway, after reading the little love notes I had, she said she can see why people would get rid of those things from past relationships. She said she'd be willing to get rid of the photoalbum/scrapbook thing (I've never felt inclined to look at it), if I wanted her to. I never asked her to get rid of it, because it doesn't bother me. Unless she were pining over it and looking at it all the time, I don't think it really hurts anyway sitting in the back of a closet. Anybody else have opinions or situations similar to this before?
