If you broke up with your partner = they are an ex.
If you broke up with your ex, that means you got together.
In life, if a decision is made...honor it. Stop changing your mind and circling about it.
Move on, move forward.
anyways...the material stuff is just stuff. It's the memory, the intention, the feeling that you linger onto when you associated it with that material stuff.
Best of luck and try to move forward.
