aw, I love Ex boxes. One of my Ex's has a whole closet since he practically lived with me and then didn't want his stuff back. I think it shows a lot about who you are as a person that you didn't throw everything out when you broke up. No matter how bad the relationship ends up, it's always fun to look back on the good times.

Yes I agree! That and I'm a sentimental pack rat.

I hope Danny got his life back together. I've just given stuff away if its toys or shirts or like that...anything else gets tossed. I have one pick of an ex, and its our senior prom picture.

See I just can't bring myself to toss them...or give them away. Unless its clothes I wouldn't wear. Although even though I don't fit in it, i've kept the jacket he always wore when we first started dating. I don't know why I keep it. It makes me heart stop every time I come across it.

As someone with a family member who has a history of drug abuse, I know how gut-wrenching the unknown can be. You're always hoping for the best, but bracing for the worst. I do hope he has gotten himself together, though. And I hope you have been able to find happiness for yourself. Good luck with the Halloween costume.

Thanks for the comment. And im sure if i'm not too embarassed I'll post myself in the Halloween Costume.
