![]() ![]() As I read the mushy gushy text and peeped the signature, I caught the shakes. While chilling at my boyfriend’s one afternoon, I glanced at his dresser full of old birthday and Christmas cards and observed one that caught my attention. ![]() I recently found myself in this situation. How would you feel knowing that in your man’s nightstand drawer sits a pile of letters from the woman who preceded you? Would you be comfortable with that or would you lose sleep knowing that she still owns a piece of him? Whether it’s you or him, the idea of someone else having a hold on the one you’re with is a hard thing to digest. ![]() Let’s switch things up and examine it from a woman’s point of view. Especially if the gift is something small like a cute poem he wrote or a teddy bear he won for you at the local fare (it’s a lot more understandable when the gift is an expensive or usable one, like a coat, TV or a new car). Lets’s face it, the real reason that you would want to keep an old gift from an old flame in the first place is because it means something to you. But if you’re with someone who catches fits at the mere mention of your last man’s name, then maybe you need to invest in a few cardboard boxes and trash bags-in other words, everything needs to go. If he-or she-doesn’t’ have a problem with seeing you spraying on the perfume that was given to you last Christmas, wearing the sweater that your last man of two years bought for you, or staring at funny pictures you and your ex took at that office Halloween party, then hey, do you (you still shouldn’t’ flaunt things in his face, like leaving framed photos posted on your wall or around your house in general). But if you’re in a serious, committed relationship, then let’s just say that your new partner determines whether or not you can or should keep gifts from your ex(es). If you’re just dating, nothing serious, then there is absolutely nothing wrong with keeping an old photo any time you want to sit back and relish the good old days with your ex-boo. But for me, I say it all depends on the circumstances surrounding your new relationship. Well, for many of you, this is a no-brainer-when they go, everything they gave goes with them. ![]()
