I understand and didn't mean to be harsh. I married a GDI who I met weeks after I pledged my sorority. Sometimes it takes a few years to really get over a relationship. It seems though as I get older, I don't see a need to keep such things around. I prefer to focus on the present more. I do keep some cards and items that my now husband gave me when we were dating but I have also assisted my 94-year old grandmother in cleaning out some old pictures, etc. I just wouldn't want to have to explain to my kids and grandkids why I am hanging onto a lavaliere from an ex boyfriend who ended the relationship by cheating on me. The memories are in your head forever, I don't think that is necessary to keep a memento to re-live those memories.
