If you will not be with him any longer and there is no hope of reconciliation. Then, I say cut him out of your life completely. Shred the photos or burn them. Give away his things to the thrift store. Get a new hobby like scuba diving (good hobbies like scuba or piloting planes are great places to meet quality guys because these hobbies require money and intelligence). And get on with your life. Life is meant to be lived in happiness and with abundance not with regret and sadness. You are alive and that is more than the dead can say. Enjoy the breath in your lungs (start getting in shape try marathon or bicycle). Just live and enjoy life. I parted with my girlfriend of 3 years. I thought she was the one but it didn't work. I still care for her but the kicker was when I call her after the break up and her phone was on without her knowing and I heard her flirting with other guys and happy. She was saying that she missed me and still loved me but her actions spoke otherwise. This was good because I moved on. I haven't found someone else but I believe a person has to be worthy to receive a great person in return. So as long as we work on ourselves and become stronger better people we become more attractive and more likely to meet the right one... And by then we have forgotten about the past pain of someone who no longer loves us.
