i know you should be because they might still have feelings for them and might be sneaking out every time you fight and you wouldn't even know

I guess if he keeps it in a place that is not always seen its okay. If a relationship ends so are the pictures, they should be kept in private as remembrance or something. But if it still is in the wallet or somewhere were you always see I guess its time for him to keep it out of sight. My wife does keep some pictures of her ex BF but she keeps it out of sight and kept in the boxes. Recently while we were looking at old pictures we came to see her ex BF and we just laughed about it and I understand her reminiscing past loves. In the end she decided to throw it away. I told her to keep it if she wants to but I guess she decided to discard it.

I have pictures of ex's. I have no intentions of sneaking out and being with them. However, the memory of them doesn't cease to exist just because the relationship failed. Your boyfriend is the person he is, because of the experiences he has gone through. Pictures help us remember the lessons we learn along life's path. He may still have feelings, that doesn't mean he is going to go back with her. You are being too jealous, and furthermore, your insecurities and accusations will just drive him away.

if you feel that, you should give yourself some space, from b/f for a while, sounds like some trust issues going on here. I know my b/f of 11 years now has pics of his Ex WIFE and it don't bother me, me and his ex WIFE are best of friends! lol so go figure that, AND I KNOW my b/f will never step out on me EVER! we are too much in love, and we trust and tell each other EVERYTHING. May want to sit back and look at the relationship the BOTH of you. Sounds like you have more underlying issues then just pictures of the EX. Just my TWO CENTS. Wish you luck and blessings to you both.

My husband has many pictures of his ex's lying around the house. It's not that he had feelings for them or anything, it's because he's a packrat! I still have pics of my ex's also, some displayed, because they are still my friends. If you have issues with your boyrfriend keeping pics of his ex, you might be suffering from some insecurity issues you need to deal with. I don't think that there is anything wrong with keeping pictures, or even keeping in touch with ex's. The fact is that our significant others aren't with that person, they're with US! And there's a reason for that!
