He he,
A long time ago, in a galaxy far away, i was dating my first love (3 years. It started at 20 and ended around 23)
Anyway, we had given each other many gifts, cards, etc, and i truly cherished those she gave me.
When we broke up, and it became obvious that we weren't going to get back together, I went off the deep end and threw everything she ever gave to me away.
I had bought her a "promise ring" which back then cost me a fair heap of money for a poor university student. She had returned it to me when i so arrogantly demanded it back. (I won't bore you with details about why our relationship ended, just let's say it was not my doing.)
Anyway, all the clothes she ever bought me went into the salvation army bin. Some tools that she had bought me were given away / discarded. The cards and letters went into the trash.
The ring??
Well, I heaved that off a pier into Lake Ontario one summer's night. That along with a gold pen set and this crystal thing she bought me.
Regrets???
You bet. I regret ever asking her for that ring back regardless, and I regret everything else that was tossed.
I was very very hurt and acting emotionally thinking that it would help erase the pain. I don't think that it did to tell you the truth.
