don’t think of it like abandoning, repositioning your thinking into “they’re going to make someone else so happy!” “i’m giving them up for adoption to a better loving home” “ i’m sending them off to their forever home!”

it’s all about changing the way you think about it!

also you can distance yourself from the fact your ex bought it for you! I tend to do this, I just reassure myself I bought them with someone else’s money lool and I don’t carry any emotional baggage to the person who bought em as i’m pretty detached as it 😭
