What to do with ex's things

LegacyUser

Hi Folks,

Wanted to get a consensus on this.

I was living abroad and my ex came over a few times, she had a few items you could buy for under £20 in a chemist in my place when we broke up.

It was very emotional and at the time she asked me to 'hold on to my things' for her.

It's now nearly 2 years later and we're on good terms, e-mail every few weeks just to check up but haven't met since (she suggested that initially and i haven't broached it since), but as a result, i haven't had a chance to give them back.

I want to bring it up, just to let her know i wasn't callous about those things, i don't want to get back together but i still really care about her and don't want to upset her by bringing it up.

What do you think i should do? Keep them/get rid/ask her?

Thanks

If we are talking shampoos / make up and consumable stuff they are long since gone off . Chuck them and stop worrying
But it's not really about the physical baggage is it? Sounds like you need to get rid of the emotional kind too.

Dump the stuff. It's been two years! She hardly misses the stuff by this stage.

Two years on, I'm sure if she needed them back she would have asked. Just dump them, if it is brought up say you done a clear out and binned them.

I agree with tinkerbell. If it was anything worth having/anything she wanted she would have asked for them back a long time ago. Just get rid of them and never mention them again.

Bin them - 2 years on, if they were of importance she wouldve asked for them back.
