Similar example: I keep things my T gave me (like an unused tissue, a note stating my next scheduled appointment) in a drawer, but I don't hang them on the wall. I think it's okay in a relationship to have things that remind you of other people, but I can look at these things or hold them or whatever on my own, my partner doesn't need to be involved.

Good idea--I mean, I have a stone from my T but it's hanging out in a zipped pocket in my purse, unseen. The times I might use it to get comfort are when I'm alone. So H never sees it (he knows I have it, but I don't talk about it).
