I still keep a bracelet that is a gift from my ex-boyfriend when i stayed abroad. We had romantic time together and he did treat me very nice even though he and I lived far 400km. In fact, we haven't said goodbye yet officially. He went to US for his business and 6 months later i went back to my country and no contact more from him til now. It is 2 years already...and i know that love is gone. But all memories about him went back to my mind when i saw the bracelet again last night: the time when we was going out together, the moment that he helped me to wear that bracelet to my hand while he was driving a car, etc are still in my mind. I wanted to throw away the bracelet but finally i didn't. I put it back to a box again. I have a boyfriend now but deep in my heart, he (my ex-boyfriend) is still a part of my good memories. Do you still keep gifts from your ex-?

I think its okay to keep it since you two shared good memories. I, too, keep things from my ex-boyfriend. I don't mean any harm I just want to keep it because it has a value on me.

I think you should keep the stuff. It doesn't mean you still love the person, but it's a thing that was given to you. No matter what the circumstance (unless he stole it) I think one should keep the gifts. Yes, it would hurt for a while, so perhaps it would be best if you just keep it somewhere you cannot find it. And when finally you are over the person and you stumble upon it, it wouldn't hurt anymore because you are over the person. I still do keep the things that the ex has given. But honestly, I don't know where they are right now. hahahaha.. Anyhow, nothing was really expensive or valuable, but I'm pretty sure I treasured it the time when I still loved him. hahaha.. Now, it's just junk. Have a great MyLOt experience ahead!

Thank you for your sharing. Ya, i still keep it now and i won't have idea to throw it away. in fact it is not expensive one also, but it looks nice and very fit with my wrist (i have a small wrist). I don't have many gifts from ex-, just only that bracelet. Even with current boyfriend, i haven't received any gift from him also.... You don't know where they are...it seems that you have many many..right?

Oh, I didn't mean bracelets. I was given several 'tokens' and I no longer know where they are.

I understand your situation. It is good for you too when you don't keep anything from other guys, then your husband won't have no reason to blame you... Well, currently i am not married yet, but i think i will keep this bracelet forever and won't tell anything about it with husband later, if he asks, i just say it is mine.

I still have the teddy bears my ex bf gave me mainly for decoration in my moms house but all of the love letters that he gave, I already burned them when my now husband asked me why I was keeping them. For me burning them was a sign of releasing my love for him. I still care for the person since he was a friend before we became a couple but I would rather cherish those memories in my mind rather than see his letters and read them. When I burned the letters that was the time that I really felt that the love I had for him was already gone.

Thank you for your sharing. I think you did right when you burn all your ex-'s letters and the love for him was gone also. You talk about letters and now i remember I still keep a letter from a guy but he is not my ex-, he loved me but i didn't. I may burn it later also... I don't have any letters from ex-, if i have, i may burn also. I really don't want to keep anything such as letters or diary...(I used to write a diary but after that i burn it all).

Hi ryanong, yes I still keep gifts from my ex boyfriend, I still wear his jacket sometime because the jacket is comfortable to wear specially during rainy day. My feeling toward my ex boyfriend is neutral, I dont miss him nor hate him anymore. Let the past be the memory of our life, Im glad that at least I have a memory to remember. When my ex boyfriend decided not to continute the relationship I was like hell but slowly as the time goes by I can accept it, I cannot see myself to be with him in the future, to be with him i have to sacrifice a lot and Im not willing to do it and vice versa. There are many things that my ex boyfriend gave to me, I still use it all until now even I dont have any feeling toward him anymore. I think why not use it, it was given to me so it is belong to me now lol. I dont have bracelet from him, but he gave me a necklace he said he bought years ago and he had a strange experience when he bought the necklace (that was before he met me, in fact I was not born yet when he bought the necklace no he is not that old he is just 30's), I wear it whenever I go to special occasion and the dress matches with the pendant. oh actually he also gave me teddy bears but my niece love the bears and claimed it as hers hahahaha, when my niece did not notice my sister (her mother) would return it to my room but actually I dont mind my niece plays with the teddy.

Thank you so much for your sharing. I thought i may the only person who still keep a gift from ex-.... In fact, i received only a bracelet from him. Same as you, i was in the hell when we have no information any more, he just disappear out of my life without saying goodbye. Except it, he treated me very nice when we were together. Now i am ok with it, i think it is a fate and i have no feeling toward to him more. When i see the bracelet, all memories just goes back but for sure no feeling toward to him more. I think i will keep this bracelet forever, not because i still love him, just i want to keep nice memories in my life with it.

Oh, that is a sweet memory for you. If this thing happen on me, I don't want she throw away the gift which I send to her.Because we have enjoy lovely time and life expeience.Gift is just present, now it is a practical decoration for you. you could not think behind ex-boyfriend. But for everyone they should have their own secret not to share anyone. When you finish relationship peaceful,you can make friends with each other. Don't let flow in the wind.

In your case I think you can keep that for remembrance and that would reminds you of him and those memories you've shared. I even do that if ever especially the person was really special and hes been a good ex then I would treasure that or otherwise.. Happy mylotting!

An ex-boyfriend gave me a bracelet before too. He was my high school boyfriend and I kept that bracelet with me even after we broke up. I kept it with me and still wore it for 2 years after we broke up. I got over him and moved on just after two years and when I finally forgot him, I decided to just sell the bracelet. It will just remind me of the bad memories. Every time I looked at it, I only remember the bad memories that why I sold it to a friend. If you can remember good memories from it, it's good if you keep it. But if it's just bad memories, then don't keep it anymore.

He did treat me very nice and we was very happy together. I have no bad memories of him at all. Now, i know i have no feeling of love with him anymore so that i still keep his bracelet. I think it does not harm.
