To throw away wedding memory box

[LanternLighter]

Divorcing after (d)h cheated on me and have started clearing out some stuff.
I found our wedding memory box with cards, guest book, order of service, his speech etc. Tbh I would happily chuck it all in the bin but should I keep it for the dc?
Also thought about giving it to him. I had to look through it and relive the day, so he should to!
What would you do?

Would your children love to see this in the future? If roles were reversed would you like to your parents? Maybe keep it in the far corner of the loft for now.

My sister threw out all her wedding photos after her divorce. She was hurting and wanted rid of them. Now time has past, she regrets it as she had some lovely pictures of other family members in them and she binned the lot. Maybe bung them in a drawer or something for now?

Bin it. It’s just cluttering up space physically and in your head.

keep it then then give it to kid when adults they can pick out what they want and bin the rest .

I gave my photo album to my parents for safe keeping. I didn't have children with the ex but 4 family members on my side passed away within a couple of years of the wedding, and 3 on his side within 5 years, including his dad. The marriage may have ended but those photos can never be replaced.

Bin it 100%!

if hes cheated he wot give a shit anyway so sending it wont do the damage you need it to.
i would keep it deff.one day it will or may also show you how far youve come,or simply memory of life when its not so painful.
plus its part o your dcs past and one day i think they might like to see it or you show them.especially around the time they might get married?
put it well out the way you wont even need to rememeber its there until your ready.

Keep photographs with family members or notes/memories from family members, then the DC have the option on what to do with them in the future.

Get rid of anything which has no family connection for the DC.

My dad cheated on my mum, but she stayed with him, and we love pictures from our childhood as a family.

However when my H cheated on me, I felt zero connection to the marriage box of memories. Looking at the wedding invite, favours, etc just made me think what a waste.

I would bin. A fresh start for you is more important than memories for dc.

My parents have kept the albums of their wedding photos despite them divorcing 20+ years ago and I'm so grateful. It's my family history and nice to see them at a time when they were carefree and in love even though it didn't last. I'm gutted that I can't do something similar for my kids as we didn't have many pictures of us together but I do tell them about holidays we took before they were born and I've kept some old birthday and valentine's cards that we sent each other. His mum has some pictures of us which I know she'll keep for the kids. I don't regret the separation at all but I'd like the kids to be able to see us before it went all wrong. Could you just seal it up and put it away somewhere?

I would keep a few photos for your kids, especially group ones of family etc. but don't lumber them with old cards and stuff.
MIL gave her wedding album (she and FIL are divorced) to DH years ago, it's in a box in the loft, we haven't looked at it since tbh.
