Your boyfriend breaks up with you, leaving you with a broken heart and a lot of his stuff. What should you do with his things? The instinct is to hold onto them. But here's the truth: The sooner you let go of his stuff, the sooner you will let go of him. According to a recent study from the University of Arizona, the less contact you have with your ex, the faster you'll heal. The same study found that after a breakup, as time passes, you’ll feel more angry and less sad.
