Is it okay for me to throw away something my ex made for me. I have a new girlfriend now and it’s been almost two years since we broke up. There’s a love note on the back and it’s a watercolor painting of my favorite flowers. I think I should get rid of it because we’re not together anymore but I feel bad getting rid of something someone worked so hard on. We’re harshly no contact so I can’t give it back. I’ve kept it so far because it feels wrong and I’m keeping less personal gifts but keeping this specific one feels like a betrayal to my girlfriend. I also have a book that this ex gave me with a love note in it but I might just tear the page with that note out. Any advice on that would be helpful too lmao
