I did have some sentimental stuff (pics/videos) in a few boxes tucked away in the garage from past relationships. When I got married, we were in the process of moving into our newly built home, when my newlywed wife found them and tossed the boxes in the garbage bin, without me knowing.

I asked what happened to those boxes with important papers? and she said "I threw all the pics and junk of those hoes away" wth, lmao.

I really wasn't a bit upset, because I have a very good photogenic memory. And besides, I hate reminiscing about past relationships. I like looking towards the future, not the past.

Nope. They went in the trash when I moved.

No…I'm not sentimental. When I left my ex years ago I left the house, the photos, and my wedding dress. It was time to move on. For the last 20 years I have been very happy with my husband and I have no reason/need to reminisce. I live for now and the future.

As long as they pertain to an event or shared moment I am fine with keeping them around for sentiment, everything else has no place being brought in to a new relationship.

You have to give yourself the tools to move away from your past if you intend to live a future.

I saved my late fiancés number, pictures, voice mails, and texts but I can't bring myself to look at them or hear them. It pains me that I will never see her, kiss, or hold her again.

I've got lots and lots of pictures and videos from women I've known previously but no " items " or trophies etc.

I dunno. I think fondly hanging to mementos of past flames when you're currently with someone is awfully disrespectful to the person you're with.

The past is important though. Sure, we need to focus on the present and future but it's always important to remember what got you to where you are. The past is a big part of us and should never be forgotten. For better or for worse. There's nothing wrong with keeping some reminders.
