Is it a good idea?
My STBXH ran off with another woman in October -we were married 31 years, Obviously a lot of stuff has accumulated over those years,but now that I am starting to move on I wonder if it would be cathartic to get rid ofthe sentimental stuff associated with him. Things I am thinking of getting rid of include:
A large collection of love letters he sent me (and the ones I sent back to him) before we were married.
Valentines/ birthday/ anniversary cards of an 'I love you' nature.
My wedding dress
All jewellery he has given me over the years (including an eternity ring,Oh the irony!!) as I don't feel I would get any pleasure from wearing any of it any more.
In some ways think it is sad and very 'final' but we are getting divorced - it doesn;t get much more final than that. But on the other hand I think it would might help me with moving on. I don't want, in years to come,to be sitting weeping over love letters Miss Haversham style.
