Is it wrong to keep photos of your ex partners when you are in another serious relationship?

Do you keep them?

Would it bother you if you found your partner had kept theirs?

Would it bother your partner if you kept your photos of past partners?

post pics, please

No. + Filler.

did he catch you masturbating to my picture again, sweetums? :o

I still have photos of nearly every girl I've seriously dated, which now that I'm in my mid 30's has been a fairly large number.

Girlfriends know I have them, but as long as they don't have to see them they don't care.

I have a couple just for memoirs sake like parties, trips etc. I don't think I'd have a problem getting rid of them if asked to though :shrug:

I think you mean "catch". Youre not my ex, youre my hillbilly!

1. It would depend on the kind of photos IMO. Pics of the two of you hanging out at a special place is OK; pics of them naked are not.

2. I had a few BTF. Mostly of my ex husband & I on our wedding day.

3. Depends on the pics.

4. Knowing him, probably not :p He isn't the jealous type at all :D

I have a couple, it's no big deal. I even have a picture of an ex and my husband together, they are friends too. I don't think he has pictures of anyone, including his parents, so if he had pictures of an ex it would be weird.

I still have all of mine. I don't think I could bring myself to get rid of them not because I still harbor any feelings for them, but because it's part of my past and that's part of me. And becuase most of them were some purdy cute little ladies and I like to show them off. >.>

Photos of exes that include me, usually I keep. Photos that are of some special place, usually I keep. Photos of him sleeping, being especially cute, or those, "special", Polaroid’s.....toss 'em.

I don't get all freaky if a man I'm dating keeps photos of his exes. My soon to be ex-husband still has a beautiful copy of his wedding album, not out of some loyalty to his ex-wife but because he thought it was something that one day their daughter might like to have. (plus, his words, "I paid $1200 for the goddamn things, I'm not throwing them away.") :D

The only pics I have of any ex's are ones where i'm in the pic as well, and it's a special occasion (weddings, etc.) and the ones that I keep in a separate photo box for the kids. They often go through it when they miss their Dad, and it's the only reason I keep them.

haha...remember that pic i posted of her passed out drunk on somebodys deck with her top pulled done?:D i need to show it to her someday to see if it was really her:p

I have photos of my exes still.

Except for one. My first serious girlfriend gave me a wallet photo of her, and that breakup was horribly painful to go through (first love, first heartbreak, :blahblah:, you know the deal). That photo I lit on fire and watched it burn.

I am SO glad she's gone though :P

the only ones I have are of my ex husband,any pics of my ex husband I have are packed away in a box in my parents basement, along with any other wedding stuff..I didn't think it was appropriate to bring them to PA with me..:shrug:

Yeah, all of my photos are in boxes somewhere, or in computer folders that I can't recall the location of.

Except the nudies. Those are still my wallpaper. :|

My girlfriend dumped me two weeks ago..
I blew up her best pic and attached it to my dart board..

Excellent therapy....

Being rather sentimental, I'll always keep the film and video archives of my exes, and that's an extensive collection, as I started shooting at an early age.

If he was carrying it around in his wallet, pulling it out everytime the wallet comes out or something, then I'd have a problem. Otherwise any prior relationships are something that makes a person who they are now. So I have to problems with it.

I say move on.

Put them away. Unless you have kids, then you have a different issue. I let my son have a picture of his dad and him in his room-his grandparents gave it to him. But, I dont have pics of us together or any of him actually anywhere out. I have put everything in a big plastic box. He knows where it is and he continuously adds things to it- like a memory box. Our wedding pics and such are in there too. They are for him when he is old enough and responsible enough to take with him when he goes out on his own.

There are some pictures that I really wanted to keep or use/share because I liked how I turned out in them- but I have edited him out. :)

:drool:

I kept a few, just so I'd remember the faces 30 years from now. All the other pictures, letters, cards, etc got throw in the trash. I find it's best to move on, instead of holding onto all that crap.

I've got a picture of my most recent ex still by my bed. He was a really good guy, and it's a nice reminder that someone like that would be with me. <3 :p

There are a few pics of the first around as well. One in the multiple frame thingy over my desk, and a few more in my album. I know I should get rid of them, buuuuut... You know how it is.:shrug:

I had a boyfriend that did carried a picture of his ex in his wallet, but it was an unusual situation. She had been in a near-fatal accident while they were together, was completely paralyzed and brain damaged and had been living in the hospital for 5 years by the time we were together. He went to see her regularly. It did bother me a bit, but considering the circumstances I didn't feel right about asking him to get rid of it or not to see her.

I have a few pictures of exes, but pretty boring ones, any of them that had a "special meaning" or whatever I got rid of, don't need them anymore.

:hitit:

I might be a special case with this, but as someone who moved every few years growing up and who has never lived in once place for more than 5 years, pictures, letters, and things of that sort are honestly things that I am not willing to part with. I carry my past around with me when I move, because unlike many people, I don't have an easy home to fly back to and visit. I don't have a centralized place to go relive memories, so I keep them all with me. I hardly ever pull them out to look at them or read them or whatever, but they are a part of me and I'm not willing to part with them.

If a girl I start dating has a problem with the fact that I keep pictures of the girl I dated 8 years ago in high school or the girl I dated 6 years ago in college, she's probably not worth my time. It's probably also worth mentioning that I'm on friendly terms and correspond regularly with all of my exes with one or two exceptions. I tend to become very close friends with anyone I date, and I have no reason to throw away pictures of very close friends.

I have one of my ex somewhere. I want to remember what he looks like when I'm old and gray.
I also have a picture of my college, uh, infatuation I guess you'd call it. I loved him, he didn't love me. He was hot though, and I want to remember that. :p

I found a pic of my ex recently and lets just say, I made out just fine without him!! :nice:

How could anyone not love you? :confused:

I have a few of me and my ex gfs in my journal if you suckas wanna check them out.

I'm in an interesting situation. My current relationship is also my first serious one. We've been together for a year now and he is a couple of years older than me. He's had a few girlfriends before me, but only one that was somewhat long term. She was also his "first" and vice versa.

Being his girlfriend now, and not having much experience with this sort of thing in the past, I really don't like the idea of him having photos of her. I admit it's probably immaturity on my part, but at least I'm honest. I don't have pictures or mementos from my past boyfriends, granted they weren't serious at all. Still, I tend to think that a memory doesn't have to take form as a picture, note, letter, etc. I have a photo of each ex in my mind, and that's all I've needed, at least of them.

As for what would happen if my boyfriend and I were to break up...it actually makes me realize that I would most likely be unable to part with photos, cards, gifts/jewelry, and other things that remind me of him. If anything, I guess the best thing to do would be to put all of that stuff away and just leave it be.
