Yes, I have some. NBD and I don’t care if my husband or kids see it.

Anybody who keeps them after age 25 either peaked in high school or has hoarder tendencies. Neither is inherently bad. But no I didn’t keep mine.

Purged it all not too long ago. Don't want my husband or kids stumbling across that stuff, esp since it no longer has sentimental value for me.

Kept first card from MS boyfriend (first love) and tossed the rest including photos. DH also tossed old girlfriend pics.

A few. But incidentally as they were in a box of keepsakes from that time. At some point I’m sure they’ll be lost.

I threw them away because it wasn't a relationship worth remembering. I did have one worth remembering but everything sweet he ever said to me was over AOL Instant Messenger and sadly lost in the ether.

I had been, but after I accepted DH's proposal, when I got home I threw them all away. I only kept pictures he was in if other friends were also in them, but none just of exes, and none just of me with exes.

No and my HS boyfriend sent me a copy of one a few years ago. I graduated from HS 30 year ago. So weird and awkward. We are both married with kids. His wife kind of looks like me though.

You must not be from the generation that actually wrote letters and cards.


I'm 43. I've written plenty, but I'm not a hoarder. Hold on to things for a bit, then they go in the recycle bin after a few weeks.

Do you honestly keep birthday and xmas cards forever??

Yes or no? Regardless if you did not end up marrying them they were still your boyfriend during that moment in time. Nothing will ever change that.
