3. My last big breakup was twelve years ago
Edited on Mon Mar-21-05 09:05 AM by Modem Butterfly
I jettisoned it all. I didn't want anything to remind me of him.

His mother still sends me birthday cards though. Twelve years after the breakup. I think she likes me better than him.

Edited to add:

I did keep a couple of things from the break-up. His dad ran a Chinese restaurant and had some really great recipes his father had brought over from China. His dad had translated them for his kitchen staff and his mom gave us a copy. Mmm-MMM! THAT'S good eating!

5. NOTHING. PURGE! Get rid of ALL that man's crap... even gave away pricey
jewelry to the American Cancer Society Discovery Shop, several thousand dollars worth of pearls and semi-precious stones he'd given me.

IT FELT SO GOOD to get rid of that CRAP he gave me.... even more so to GIVE it away for a good cause!

7. Nothing.
He packed up while I was at work and took everything-even the crib that I had bought in anticipation of the birth of our child. He really was a rat bastard.

You're right he was a "rat bastard"! But he saved you the work of getting rid of his junk along with him.
