Ex girlfriend stuff

longhalloween

So this week I'm taking the plunge and moving in with my girlfriend.

The problem is that I have shoeboxes of stuff from previous girlfriends, all the mementos, letters, cinema tickets etc. and I don't know what to do with it.

In fairness, I want to keep it, cause some of the memories in those boxes are really good, but on the other hand I'm sure my gf would go mental if she found this hoard in our new place.

Any thoughts on what I should do? What do yous do with the stuff left over from girlfriends past?

Lmao_Man

I put all my ex girlfriend's stuff in the recycling bin.

Would it be an option to stick it in your parents attic or something?

Light the fire with it?

Who keeps cinema tickets anyway?

Just erect a shrine in your new place to your ex's with all this stuff as the centrepiece.
Your current gf will love your sentimental side.
And bitches love shrines.

Everything you need to retain is already in the **** bank. The rest can go in the bin.

Yeah OP be a man and dump all your family photos too and any other mementos you might have. Nostalgia is for pussies man.

animaal

If those old memories are so good, you won't need the associated clutter to remind you of them.

It sounds like you have trouble moving on.

Couldn't you just keep a couple of things that are really important to you and dump the rest? And probably best not to turn those few things into a shrine - it mightn't go down well with the current GF.

Are you that insecure in your new relationship that you can't discuss it with her?

You should bury them with the body.

Smug much?

I suppose Playstations don't have that many relationship issues, to be fair.

Put it this way do you see yourself having that stuff if you buy a house with her and get married have kids.

Or are you being irrationally sentimental.

Its probably time to move on otherwise they wouldn't be exes.

Its fine to keep Memories but letters and cards from exes.


Really????

I suppose adverts/friends don't have many relationship issues, to be fair.

You're probably right. I'll have a quick look through and see if there's anything valuable then chuck them out.

Put it all in a big box marked 'private'. If your girlfriend respects your privacy, no problem. If she doesn't, you need a new girlfriend.

Oh come on, if I found a box marked "private" in my home it would be opened and the contents thoroughly inspected within 10 seconds.

May as well put a sign with "Open Now" on it.

Angry_Mammarys

I dunno, like is it an ego trip when you open the box and have a look through ? cause it seems a bit mad to keep all that if you're moving in with your current gf, like surely ya don't need to look back on all that if you're happy with her?

It's not an ego trip to look back on fond memories of a previous relationship.

I was asking if it was, I never stated it was... I just think it's weird, maybe I'm not as sentimental:(

Rent a small storage locker. Hide the key to the storage locker at your parents so the new gf doesn't find it. Also handy for storing presents in.

What would you do if you found a load of memento's of your birds ex-fellas?

I say burn the stuff. Why keep memento's of some yoke who fcuked off on ya?

The Strawman Argument

As an absurdly sentimental person, I've kept things from just about every friendship I've had, let alone relationship. The people you meet through life are going to play some part in forging who you currently are, there's nothing wrong with acknowledging it

...but when you've got absolutely tons you're likely just assuming a lot of it is more important to you than it really is and it's stemming from a hoarder mentality more than anything else. I think your main issue really is that you need to be more selective about which things to keep from the get go.

Hide everything under your pillow so when you go to bed it feels like you have a selection of girl friends
