Some people keep love letters not because they still love the person, but because they love the letters that were written to them. Personally, I don't, but I do have a friend who still has all her love letters. Don't think that he still loves her, the chances are he just likes the love letter. You could try writing one to him yourself, but don't suddenly expect him to get rid of it.

I was shocked when I found ex girlfriend pictures, and "I love you so much" cards mixed in with my boyfriend's photo albums. When I talked to him about it he explained that it's just old memories. It took some time for me to calm down but it made sense when I thought about it - this girl was a part of his history but he's chosen to actually be with me now, not her. It's proably just a sweet reminder of an old love in a past time and place. It's in the past and the only thing left is a flimsy love letter. Be grateful you have him to yourself now and that his past experiences have turned him into your wonderful boyfriend!

Was he going through old stuff and just happened to come across it? It might just be a keepsake from a happy time in his life.

If he looks at it every day, that might be a problem.

Don't confront him about it or you'll look like a snoop and he'll see you as insecure or a nag.

Maybe bring up the subject of old girlfriends with him or talk to him about your old boyfriends. Maybe show him some of your keepsakes and maybe he'll share with you some of his.

Talking about old relationships can make yours stronger.

x.BrokenxHearts.x agony auntIts in the past I still have stuff from some of my exes and my boyfriend doesnt mind at the end of the day he is with you and you should get over your jealousy.

Sometimes its just nice to have these little memories of things from the past. You cannot change his past and maybe she did mean a lot to him at one time but like I said he is with you. And you shouldnt go through his stuff.
