I am with you NWSO, if a new friend insist that I erase all memories of my old friends, it is probably a good reason for me to have to erase them.
I am no playa and I never cheated on a committed relationship and so when I keep mementos, pictures or keepsakes it iss because they have some value to me. If you cannot respect the things I value then why are with me. It is disrespectful and callous to display those things or constantly reference them or the old person to the new person. Because why do it unless you haave to, it will gain you now benefits.
I have a cherished carving in my living room that an old girlfriend gave me many years ago. Would a new person want to insist that I throw that out because of the source. Hell naw!!
I keep numbers, addresses and contact information not for everyone but usually if that person is now a friend or a good business contact.
