Letting go
I was just sitting around the house watching TV tonight when it really hit me.
Holy Crap.
He LIVES with her.
As I sat on my couch and looked around I realized that I still had a lot of framed pictures of Nico in my apartment and as fabulous as the photos are (he is quite the handsome devil and we took some wonderful photos together) I decided at that moment that it was time to take them down.
It was quite the task but I moved from room to room, took the photos out of their frames and put them into an already half full album of us which I tucked beside my couch with the other albums from my past. The only thing left is the caricature of us that was drawn in St. Malo shortly after we got together in 2003 that hangs in my bathroom. I love this 'picture' and couldn't quite bring myself to take it down. Not today. But soon.

I don't think you need to take that last picture down - he was a big part of your life for quite a while, so there's no need to erase it all away and pretend it never happened.

Keep the caricature! You can have pics of you with past partners around. As Samantha says...theres no need to erase the past. You had some astounding times with Nico...they've passed. Some great memories, some not so gret but part of the process. Keep him in your heart.

You two are both right - its not my intention to erase him, I just don't need the constant reminders anymore.
I will always keep him in my heart, he just doesn't need to be in my living room! :)
