UGH, my boyfriend insists on keeping a tacky beer glass with 'Horny Devil' on it from his ex.
I am waiting for an opportunity to smash it 'by accident'

Alright ladies. It seems that we need to keep collections of our exes too. We're missing out on a musuem worth of amusing stuff because of our instinctual urges to wipe the slate clean through bonfires while sulking and feeling annoyed when our boyfriends keep items from their exes.

Oh, I keep everything. When I split from current boyfriend, I considered leaving at his house the watch he gave me, then thought "Nah, thats stupid! You need a watch!". As for the letters, postcards, books etc, well I've kept train tickets for years, and they were given to me by a machine!

ditto for me except nobody threw mine away. I did throw away all reminders of my ex who went beserk at the end of our relationship though, and some pictures of a couple of others because I didn't want that many pictures of those 2.
