Do girls hold onto relationship gifts?

[Anonymous]

She was physically and verbally abusive she beat on our dog she threw temper tantrums when she couldn’t get her way. She would call me bitch and nuisance a lot. I was always there for her around the holidays I would always get her thoughtful gifts which she liked she absolutely trashed me and drug me through the mudd at the end of the relationship causing everyone to hate me even though she was abusing me. But after all this why hold onto reminders is it an ego stroke , is it a guilty conscience that deep down she knew she was lying and I was the victim

Some do, some don’t. I’ve held onto gifts from previous relationships but not because they held any significance to that relationship - they were just good items that it would be a waste to throw away. For example, I still have a $250 Bluetooth speaker that an ex got me years ago. It’s a great speaker and I would be stupid to get rid of it just because of who bought it for me. The same with some of my clothing - I have some very expensive pairs of boots that a different ex bought me. Why would I get rid of those!

Yeah this was a pink flower bear I bought her for Valentine’s Day

The answer is both Yes and No. If the woman is of the emotionally attached type and loves gifts etc then yes she will hold on it. Otherwise not.

I have a bear a person gave me more than 26 years ago. I dont associate it with her. The bear is a "Sanity" bear to me. It sits on my dresser
