My boyfriend carries letters from his ex girlfriends....?
My boyfriend of 2 months carries a letter from his past 2 girlfriends and a letter from me in his wallet..and he told me about it. Is it weird that he does this? And that he tells me? I think it is..but he acts like its nothing...when i gave him my letter he said it was perfect and "he was gonna put it in his wallet with all the others." wth does that mean? should i be worried?

I think that since you have been dating for two months I wouldn't hold that against him too strongly since he was open to you about it BUT its somthing I wouldnt ignore. He may not still love his x-girlfriends but he probably keeps those letters in memory of the good times they shared; especially if he's still thier friend. if your a teen couple, for now it shouldnt be a big deal carrying old love letters because your not seeking a serious relationship (marriage) with him. its because if he plans on collecting them despite knowing how inappropriate it is, then you still have options for a better guy. yet you need to talk to him about how you feel. If your an adult dating couple I think after a while of spending time with him you should let him know that it bothers you and if you want this relationship to last he needs to let these women go. Honestly I think its not good for him to read those and not be bothered. Reason is what if those ladies start writing a bunch of love letters? then they would be gaining more of his attention that belongs to you and he would think that you just being jeaulous when you confront him. for now only time will tell.

That is a little unusual. It's good that he told you though. If I were you, I'd ask him about them. Ask why he kept them and carries them around. Even though it's a little weird, it may be no big deal- one of my exes used to have a letter from an ex in his binder that she wrote him when they broke up, and it just told him he hoped he'd always be happy and that he'd find someone else. He said the letter made him smile because the girl she described was exactly the one he hoped to find someday. Give him a chance- but if he won't talk about it and won't show you, you have every right to be mad.

Well to be honest, if he's over the other girls I wouldn't worry too much. Everybody has a past, that was a part of his life and he maybe wants to hold onto memories, not necessarily the person. It would be like if someone had pictures or a scrapbook of old boyfriends or girlfriends, they were part of their life and they will always be a part of their life, there's not changing that. As long as they are not in his life anymore.
However, if it does bother you then you should let him know and he should also respect your wishes. I would say give it sometime. If it keeps bothering you, then let him know and she what he says/does. If you get over it, good for you.

i dont think its anything to worry about. you already know that he's had past girlfriends. they were probably very important to him so he probably just wanted to keep something as a momento. i think he told you about the letters so in case you found them, you wouldnt think that he was still seeing his ex. he might have thought that your letter was perfect because he always wants to remember you.

Well that does sound just a little bit creepy, and like he has issues letting go of the past. I wouldn't trust him with any of the females that I know.

I always have the letters and all the stuff in my room, but not in my wallet...they are treasures. they help me reflect on things that i did wrong, as well as our special moments...and...i still care for them very much...but that's just me...

Sounds weird to me. Sounds like he is insecure in relationships and is looking forward to adding more letters to his collection.
