The other day i was in the bedroom of my long term 24 month boyfriend, but when we were looking thorugh the box of all the cards and letters i'd sent him, and there were still letters and a couple of valentines cards from his ex.
He said it's nothing weird, just because it was part of his life. He's separated them into a different box, but is it weird? they only went out for 3 months...
I think it is normal and do not purposefully misplace his belongings as suggested above. Those are things he keeps because they were a part of his life and from someone who cared for him. There are so few people in our lives who truly care for us or even show up appreciation - you would do well not to take that from him.
Yeah please don't "accidentally" replace that mans letters. I'm a guy and I have letters and junk from my ex and I digitalized them. Well all I really did was scan and store the letters on my pc and external hdds. The reason I did it was because, well partially because i was bored, but mainly because I wanted a reminder of my past so I wouldn't easily forget how the "good" can turn into the "bad". I know it may sound lame but it's how I feel. I'm sure your bf has a a good reason why he's keeping them and you shouldn't feel threatened by that. Besides, 24 months > 3 months so you win!
I keep every thing I get given. I still have nanas Christmas cards when I was 5. The idea is when I'm old I can pull them all out and remember all the people and events that touched my life. Included are letters from all my ex's. But I'd still feel a little crap if I found my boyfriend did the same thing. Hypocritical I know but that's how it is. I suppose we need to understand that we are not the only people in their life and their life started long before we came into the picture. It has nothing to do with the way they feel about YOU and that is what matters. I know this because even though I keep letters from ex's I don't want to be with them I want him. It's important to leave the skeletons where they are. Deep in his drawer.
