"If only a breakup were as simple as washing that man right out of your hair, instead of returning his clothes, tossing his toothbrush, and buying all new sheets to get rid of the smell of his cologne once and for all.&amp;quot;And don&amp;#x27;t forget your smelly old sweatpants either!&amp;quot; The longer a couple is together, and particularly if they live together, the harder it becomes to separate their lives and belongings once their relationship is over. Even after packing up my entire New York apartment and moving home to Ohio, I still find remnants of my ex-boyfriend amongst my own things, like those weird metal things guys put in their shirts to keep the collars stiff. Get out of my jewelry box, man accessories! But last night, I encountered the craziest bunch of left-behinds I&amp;amp;#8217;ve ever seen! My roommate (who happens to be one of my favorite cousins) and I were cleaning out a spare closet in anticipation of weekend visitors. His ex-fiance&amp;amp;eacute; lived with him for years prior to their breakup a while back, and although she moved out, we still occasionally find her stuff tucked away in dressers or we get catalogs addressed to her. But last night went way beyond junk mail when we found a box filled with her random stuff, including photo albums and piles of cards and mushy love letters ... from her previous ex!! Soooo awkward, right? That might be the kind of thing you want to remember to take with you when you move out of another man&amp;#x27;s house. But what could we do but laugh? And because my cousin is a gentleman, he just boxed it up to return to her. I probably would have cried and or started a bonfire, because I act crazy after breakups. But to be fair, once I found an old brown sock of my ex&amp;amp;#8217;s, and I washed it, cut the toe off, and turned it into an awesome sock bun. Lemonade out of lemons or what? Have you ever encountered anything totally weird left behind by an ex, besides the usual clothes and books? Did you ever leave anything behind that you didn&amp;amp;#8217;t get back?
