looool Mona I hope I won't...I'll make sure I'm all clear if I'm in this situation. Jeff, that is an interesting point but I don't know, I don't think it is about being mature enough because even a lot of mature people can feel jealous.
Thanks for your replies :).

What happens before the relationship is none of the other's business. It's insecurity on both sides. Of course if people are mature about things, there won't be such a thing called TV.

Thanks you for your replies Nikkie and Mona (Egyptians, yay! :D), well it is 50:50 then. As for me I still can't decide what to think about these this, most of the cases I know people keep somethings in a closet as somehow they find it difficult to decide to throw everything away....because ummm, maybe you want something to remind you of your car :P
But I think if one puts himself/herself in the other side's shoes, they won't be happy to discover you are still keeping stuff from past relationships, right?

Nop , one shouldn't keep any belongings from any past relationship . if it's over then it's over .. when you give away your car as example , you don't keep the hand breaks :D
