My husband and I recently split up and I am in the process of going through everything and trying to separate stuff. My question is, what do I do with all the stuff from our marriage? Should I keep it for my kids some day or get rid of it? There are so many things that I received as wedding gifts which I always had out on display, should I pack them up or leave them out. If I leave them out, what do I say to someone when they ask where I got it from? I hate to throw out perfectly good items just because we are no longer together, but he doesn't want them and I'm at a loss to know where to put all this stuff we've accumulated in 13 years.

I would keep out a few things for the children that you think might have meaning to them when they are older or just something you know they might like . As for the stuff around the house, I would keep what I liked and get rid of the rest of it . You can always pack it up and give it away if you are no longer interested in it . If someone asks where you got it from and you are not comfortable about telling them where it came from just say your not really sure or tell them it is just something you are not comfortable talking about .

That's pretty much what I've been trying to do, thanks for responding.

It's a lot harder than I expected it to be, though I'm not really sure why. Thanks for posting.

Ya I know you got a practicable problem in your's hand so I guess I would suggest like others have, do make a list and segregate according to what is must you would like to keep for yourself and for yours children and then dump the left over. There can not be any other way.

well. if you don't love him anymore I would get rid of it. that's what I would do. I am sure there are a alot of memories thats there. so if you want him completely out of your life. Yes, get ried of his touch.

I god divorced about 15 years ago and had to do the same thing. I kept the stuff I wanted for me and even have some of it out still - hubby #2 knows where it came from but that I like it so I've kept it. Some of it - like the pictures - I have given to my kids. They really appreciate it. Other stuff that I didn't like to start with and he didn't take with him went to Goodwill or the local church.
