Right so i moved in with the boyfriend many months back. Up in the wardrobe was this shoebox, and in this shoebox i knew there were letters, pics etc from former girlfriends. Now i said i would never look, this was scoffed at by Jonno who told me to look, its no biggy- we all have a past. I just knew it would be a bad idea, and i didn't really want to see what they looked like. My friend pointed out they could be really dodgy and rough, but they could equally be amazing and lovely. So best not to look right?

So why the fuck, i mean what compels a normally rational person to look. What morbid curiosity came over me? Why, after 2 years did i pull up a step ladder and look in the box.

Now i am not the jealous type, never have been. Yet as i read these love letters (and fuck me there are loads) i got this right spazzy feeling, like i was on a big roller coaster and my heart was pumping really fast and my vision went wonky. So i am reading and choking at the same time. Its horrible to see someone else call your partner 'sexy' lol or whatever, so gut renching to hear that there has been other lovers in such an obvious way. Its madness because its so long ago, so why do i feel jealous. I have never done this emotion before and i don't like it much. In fact it stinks. Of shit.

So after i read them, all 5 million of them from a plethora of women i go and act like a right mong in a huff with Jonno. My resoning? How dare you have other girlfriends, i mean could'nt you just have waited. So he is looking at me like i am mental, fuck even i was thinking i was mental. But isn't jealousy a funny thing. I can't say why it botherd me quite so much. I mean how daft is it to be jelous of relationships years ago. I am okay now, i can laugh at how daft i was- but Jesus at the time i thought i might combust with this new feeling. Jonno, being a twat has turned this round to his advantage and now is acting dead smug at my bizzare jealous behaviour. Its also not done him any harm for me to know that he is a bit of a casssanova it seems.

My question is do you get jealous, what does it mean? And more so would you look in the box when faced with it? Am i just Miss crazy girlfreind 2006?

I think it was natural for you to get a bit jealous your only human
But yeah past is past

I personally tend to throw love letters n shit like that in the bin when the g'f gets binned (or I have got binned lol) cos I personally dont see the point of keeping em, its not like your gonna sit there reading em is it? Well I wouldnt anyway lol

I think he does Ste, i think he gets then out every so often to make himself feel ace. Mind you he also crys in the mirror so he can feel sorry for himself. Nuff said lol.

On Cloud 9!!!
You are far from crazy ;)

What you did was quite normal even for someone who wouldnt normally be the jealous sensitive type :thumbsup:

Ive had this on both ends...i keep everything......whether its means anything to me or not...im a natural horder :thumbsup: but going back to when i was 21 ish i lived with a guy called rick for about 4 yrs......he made me tear up everything i had from any other bloke including all my photos which im gutted about because they were largely my old raving pics which i no longer have :(
So even blokes do it :thumbsup:

on the other hand ive been shown pics of partners ex's and been told storys....it did and ill be honest here....really get to me at one point being an insecure person by nature but i seem to be getting better with age :$ doesnt seem to bother me really now....:thumbsup: I think when you have strong feeling for someone you are bound to be a little protective (if thats the right term) and when someone has that kind of stronghold over you its possible to get hurt badly...maybe this is why we act irationally from time to time kind of like a defense mechanism :thumbsup:

:wave:

Sniffing glue........again!
The only stuff like that i have kept is from Brandons Dad and that's only for Brandons benifit, i thought it might be nice for him to know that we did at one time love each other. I certainly haven't kept any other ones, i've got photos and stuff but anything else i find a bit wierd. Why on earth would you want to keep that sort of stuff.:confused:

Saying that I have done what you did years ago with someone and yes I did get jealous but I vowed to myself I wouldnt do that again, best kept in the shoe box (unless the person who keeps em likes to look at em lol)

I have a memory box. It's got all manner of shite in it. Not love letters though, not got any:( lol.

I know what you mean though. You think, Im all grown up and mature.But that green eye'd fucker is a bastard!!! But at least now, you've done it...and got over it. So now it never needs to crop up again. The going in a mood thing is wierd too. I get that when somthing has upset me, but I don't want to say. It works out worse, coz i end up being a grumpy twat. Ive learnt now to voice my concerns early on.
You're not wierd, at least you and Jonno can get through shit like that and laugh at it. It shows strength in your relationship. Bad stuff does happen, getting through it shows that u can combat all manner of shiznit.

Every1 has their dark side....
 
Lol I dont think youre mad at all, well not cos of reading his love letters no. ;)

I probably would have done the same thing. Its a good thing that he let you read them, it shows he has nothing to hide :thumbsup:

Im a terrible hoarder and Ive got loads of things that other people have said I should get rid of, like old photos and things. But they are part of who I am and no I dont really look at them often and I dont read things that are no longer relevant, but I do find it hard to get rid of them. Altho I would deffo reccomend to rip up any rude pictures of ex boyfriends as soon as your relationship is over :|

I read a really good book recently about relationships and apparantly if youre a hoarder you have a commitment issue (it does go into more detail than that lol) cos you cant bear to throw something away, cos its like ending something for good!!! It went into a lot more depth about stuff like that and me personally I thought it made loads of sense :thumbsup:

I keep everything, which is why I've got so many bags of shit to move into my new gaff tomorrow. cards/letters/photos etc. I don't really know why I keep things, just a natural hoarder.

I've kept some but not all letters. I've kept breaking up letters to remind me I'm not perfect(all the time). Though not sure I'd want anyone else reading them :confused:
I certainly wouldn't want to read anyone elses; thats close to me. I'll just settle with their verbal recollection of events.

If the shoe had been on the other foot, you'd have a cold foot! arf, arf :D


















errr, shoebox stuff, if it was a woman's shoebox, I'd be wary, as they do like shoes a fair bit n could have fuckloads of boxes of shoes and stuff all over the place :fekked:


Serious answer tho, bin em I say, move on and that :thumbsup:

Yeah its odd, as i don't have anything like that- mind you i am a right hard cow with the sentimentality of a snail. I don't mind him having old letters, i don't think he has them to remind him of other loves, its just to remin him of his past- and the letters have refferences to places, clubs, freindship circles that he is no longer part of so its understandable. Me, i just chuck all that shit away- i do however, regret being quite so thorough- it would be nice from time to time to check out what was happeneing at a certain age.
