Kanuk Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Okay, i know i asked this before, but i've added to the box since. It's got gifts from her, letters and stuff where she said she wanted to spend the rest of her life with me, pictures of us and momentos of all the times we spent together. I call it my box of lies. What do i do with it? I tried thowing it out but couldn't bruing myself to do it. Should i just take it to her place and drop it on her doorstep? No explanation, nop accompanying letter, just drop it off and let her do with it as she pleases? I know i aksed before, buit i don't remember what the answers were for now, it's just sitting in the closet. And i accidentally looked at pictues of her when i went to add things to the box, they were just sitting face up in the box so i saw them when i opened it to deposit the letters. It made me feel absolutly horrible cause i remembered what i lost when she left me. So clearly, it isn't a good thing for me to keep around. What do i do with it. Link to post Share on other sites

GoldfingerCymru Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Kanuk, Put it in the attic. When (in time) you do get over her, it will be there and you can then look back with the fondness you remember her with. Throw it away and you might regret it later on. Just my opinion, though.

lost_in_chgo Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Set it aside. Seal it up. I have a box like that. And I also have regrets from a previous relationship about a card I tossed out. So don't. Link to post Share on other sites
monkey Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 I think the best thing to do is hide it away & you may want it in the future! I have the same thing & no-matter what troubles me & my gf have had, i have hope that one day we may get together again & we can look at it together! This is still fresh for me & i can't look at our things without tears, but the more they mean to you, the more you keep them! A Pandoras box. I have 6 rolls of film of ud in USA, i want to develop them to see them, but i know i'll be upset by it all. I could look at them & be positive, it's not like she's dead! I've just read a book on seperation & it says that when a close one dies, it's not intentional & that person loved you, but seperation is personal, so harder to take! Anyone else have a view on this!

silent_fan Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Seal up the box and give it to a friend to keep for you. Someday you may want to revisit the memories contained in it. If you keep it in your own house, it's too accessible during weak moments. I kept rereading old emails, so I recently forwarded the most pertinent ones to my best friend to keep for me. Then I deleted them from my laptop. Best thing I could have done -- one less way for me to torture myself. Good luck to you. Link to post Share on other sites
