Personally I wouldn't waste the money on sending them back. If you are sure it is over then burn them!
Best wishes for your future.

Get yourself a stick, a bag of marshmallows and have a "freedom" fire, sweetie! I had one when my ex left and it actually was rejuvenating. ;-)

re-read them so your sure of what he did and them throw them outside if he's not worthy of having you in his life then wasting money sending them back to him is definitely a no-no.i'm so sad for you cause i know the work we put into these relationships and these ungrateful dudes just play with our emotions

I tossed mine. They were hard to read and confused me. He had no use for them, so I just put them into recycle

I guess I'm lucky, I had no truly horrible relationships, I still have cards I got from my high school boyfriend, lol. But I'm a packrat...it seems the general consensus is to toss them, don't waste the money sending them back!

the only reason you would send them back is to entice him to keep up the relationship or b/c you think you might be hurting him somehow. neither one is healthy if you really want it to be done. so destroy them and move on. good luck

Don't send them back. That's like trying to get the last word in. Destroy them and move on with your life.

I say save the money and mail them back to the bastard.... Nothing says it's over than seeing a pile of his letters in his hands. It lets him know you're not sitting at home pining over him either. He doesnt know if you destroyed them or not so he might find a little pleasure at night thinking of u reading and crying over them. Mail em girly...

I packaged mine up (with some other things that I needed to return to him... birth certificate, social security card, CD's I was holding for him because they were again his parole stipulations, etc) in a flat rate box, included a note that I thought perhaps this box of lies would mean more to him than they did to me and shipped them off. I have to admit... I did it more so hoping that the other woman was there when he opened it than for any other reason.

I'd mount them on cardboard and cut them into jigsaw pieces. Then mail them back to him. Give him something to do...

I like Rae's idea better than mine own. Hey they're always looking for things to pass the time! There you have it.

Everyone is different after a while I'd throw them away as sending them back will probably just do more harm than good. Just do whatever is best for you and what will give you closure

I've not been in your position but I'm thinking we need to ask ourselves:
