There is a little clay pot that sits next to our stove that holds cooking utensils. The wife told me early on that it was from an old boyfriend who made it for her when they dated thirty years ago. He did a good job making it and it really is perfect where it is. I may send my kids to his surfing school so I may mention it to him one day.

I've seen enough movies to know that this can only end with your wife leaving you for him and your kids telling you "surf teacher is my Daddy now". |

One of my favourite hats was bought for me by my ex. No way I'm trashing it, no waaay. Even if things had ended poorly, that thing is just too perfect for winter time.

If it was given to me, it's mine now. Most of my stuff from ex's amounts to t-shirts and jewelry. I'm not going to lie, I tend to keep in mind who gave me what, but it's usually with no more sentiment than remembering what restaurant I ate at for lunch. The only exception is stuff I got from my now best friend back when we were dating, especially the talking Patrick Bateman doll he got me for Valentine's Day. For one, that's my favorite movie, so I freakin' love that doll just because it's a talking Patrick Bateman doll. For another, that doll, along with the t-shirts and comic books he gave me, all that I view as mementos from the beginning of the journey to the wonderful, honorary-family friendship we have today  |

I just keep the stuff on a box, its part of the past but brings good memories

I’m not seeing a downside here. |

I got dope batman cufflinks from an ex. I'll probably wear them when I get married.

I have two things given to me by an ex: a necklace that expresses my faith (I like it but rarely wear it because the chain is oddly delicate) and the first volume of the Wrestlemania anthology.
Everything else was either a single use kind of thing or I got rid of it.

I have no ex myself (I married the first girl I ever dated. I famously struck out until I found a perfect match and we are still together 22 years later). My wife, however, had a few. Some ended amicably enough but if she still had things from them I didn’t know it.
The same cannot be said about the main ex though. She moved in with him, got pregnant, and tried hard to make it work for the sake of the kid. She would have been better off running away and not even telling him about the kid. The kid would have been better off too as he ruined his life too.
Still, the end result was she had some very utilitarian things from her ex that took some time for us to replace. I was a college student with no money and she was a single mom with no money herself, so it took us a while to replace the furniture he left with her when he ran off and left her for a life of drugs and trashy girls.
Oh, and there was the kid that we kept as well.

I only get rid of things that have sentimental value. But most of my wardrobe is from my past girlfriends so I can't really throw them out just for the sake of necessity.

There is only one "non-trivial" thing I've ever lied to my wife about. I was engaged previously (she obviously knows that part) and my then fiance had given me a $400+ dollar fillet knife. It's the most over the top crazy thing... but holy shit it fillets fish like a hot knife thru butter. It's amazing and incredibly useful. I'd have never paid for it, nor would I ever replace it. Yet I refuse to get rid of it. it's so handy and nice! I can fillet a 30lb halibut in about 45 seconds. We use the knife to carve Turkey and Chicken as well. It's just the sharpest and most precise thing I've ever seen. She jokes that it's my cooking lightsaber.
I told my wife I found it at a garage sale like 20 years ago. I'm taking that to my grave.
And if any of you jerks tattle, I'll send you naked pictures of Bray Wyatt signed by Virgil.

Hell, one ex left me with 2 dogs. Really didn't feel like getting rid of those, they're too damn cute even if their shitheads Early into our marriage, I got my wife a dog because she wanted one so bad. When she left me, she left the dog with me. Best thing that ever happened to me, I love that dog more than I loved her. |

Depends on how bad the relationship ended. I kept shirts that one ex bought for me because it's my favourite football team. One bought me a Mario backpack, that stayed. My last relationship ended awful, so everything got tossed.
Everything.

I have several things that have been given to me by ex's I will probably keep forever. My ex bought me tickets to WM24 and we went together. She made me a picture book that is all my memories from that trip, so I keep that. She also made me a Batman blanket I still have.
Another ex bought me the purple, old school Macho Man shirt with the shades. I still wear that. She also got me this little talking Ted bear. I have randomly kept that too, I just like it and think it is funny.
There might be some more knick knacks I have women have bought me over the years. I am not going to keep cards or anything heartfelt, but if someone gets me something cool, I am keeping that shit.
