What Did You Do With Presents From Your Exes?
I was getting ready this morning, and I happened to grab a pair of earings from my jewlery box that were given to me by an ex-bf. I haven't worn them in awhile, and they went with what I was wearing, so I figured, why not, and wore them. I got rid of some things that were presents from exes when B and I moved in together 4 years ago, but anything I liked (especially jewlery), I kept. Anyone else?

Re: What Did You Do With Presents From Your Exes?
When Kyle and I broke up for 6 months back in '03, I continued to wear the jewelry that he had gotten for me. He has great taste in jewelry so I wasn't about to get rid of it. I wore a necklace from him out on a date with another guy who complimented me on it. I didn't think anything about it but didn't tell the guy who it was from.
As far as gifts that I received pre-Kyle, most of them were pretty tacky things that a high school guy would pick out. I had them all in a box at my mom's house. When she had a fire most of the stuff that I had stored there was severely smoke damaged. It gave me a great excuse to rid myself of it all.
We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?
Yeah, I definitely would've kept that, too. Go Wings (sorry, playoffs start today)!
I think I may have a few books floating around that were given to me by exes; I'm not a huge jewelry fan, so the stuff that was given to me over time has just kind of disappeared like most of my jewelry tends to. I admit that I stopped wearing the jewelry after it ended, though. In one case, I gave stuff back.

What the heck? Why did he take all your clothes?
Dunno. He's about 200 pounds heavier than me so it's not like he's wearing them....I hope. I never heard from him after we split up so I'm not really sure what happened to my clothes. At least I got away with all my shoes.
I sold my engagement ring from exH to an old coworker. I loved the ring, it was a custom setup, so I wanted someone to enjoy it. I used the money to go to Vegas with DH
I have a few other things from exH and a birthstone ring from my HS love, but it's yellow gold and I haven't worn it in over 10 years. I've thought about popping all the stones out and having something made with them, but have never gotten around to it.
Most of the stuff from my exes I got rid off. The rest (cards, letters, etc) are in a shoebox in the attic.
I will say that I sold a couple pieces of jewelry from an ex, and got a pretty decent amount of money for it.
And how does one go about accidentally killing himself?! Of course you don't have to answer if you don't want to.
It really was an accident. Him and his dad were out in the field shooting coyotes, he went to pull the shot gun out from behind the seat and it fired. It's pretty graphic so I won't go into detail but STARS air lifted him but he only lived for about 20 minutes.
I only got jewellery from maybe 2 exes. One was a cute pair of earings but they got all bent and I threw them out a few years ago. The other was charm for a necklace which I still have. But now that I'm thinking of it, I could sell it! I never wear it.
Letters and everything else have been thrown out.
