I was just chatting about this w/ some co-wkrs yesterday over drinks. one guy was moving and found some old love letters and didnt know if he should hide them from his lady. I say if you hide past relationships you're just asking for problems.
I have remained friends w/ a few ex's here and there.......I even went to one's wedding, and I was one of the people he called the night he had his first kid. We were young when we dated, and some ten years later, he is one of my oldest friends of any gender. We each respect the other person's current partner.
Not to say it is always possible, in hindsight there are some fools i've dated who i wish i could forget, or at least burn the memory of their fingerprints off my flesh.
