Maybe She Isn't Evil

[Bdog37]

I have also saved all the emails/letters/texts from interactions with my W. We used to communicate throughout the day while the both of us were at work. I have years worth of emails and going back and reading them pains me sometimes. How one of us would start the conversation basically by saying; "Hi honey, how are you today" or something along the lines. These emails bring back happier days in our R, but I wonder if holding onto them is a good thing? Do we want to continue reading them and constantly remind ourselves of what our R used to be and is getting rid of them a part of "letting go"? I agree as it is also too soon for me to get rid of all our past communications, pictures, random mementos, and even our wedding pictures. All of these things my W declined to show interest in when she left so why do we hang onto them and for how long? When can we finally accept our future and let go of our past?
