Still Keeping Your Ex - Boyfriend/Girlfriend Pictures?

Thanks Maxiliman Same To U How was Ur Vday well, i still have pic of my friends, but what point in telling Now

Well I do not see why you would not, it was a point in your life and it is not like you should forget that time of your life. You did not waste it, you learned from the experience with your ex. Just because you have the pictures does not mean you have the same feelings anymore. The pictures of my ex have me in them as well, so I am not going to just throw them out. My boyfriend knows about them and does not show any concern, he can care less. It is not like I look at them all the time, I just have them lying in a box somewhere, like most photos. I am glad that I have a very good, understanding boyfriend. I love him so much, and he knows this. Well anyways, have a great Valentines Day and happy mylotting!

Yeah, I still have a picture of my ex-boyfriend with me. But its hidden in one of my closet. I don't really look at it..its just there. Hmmm..come to think of it, I haven't told my boyfriend that I still have a picture of my ex.

Actually I don't have any to keep. My husband is my first boyfriend. So he is so secured as he is the first and the last man in my life. In his case, he had other girlfriends before me but he is not keeping any of the photos. He thinks he has no reason why he should still keep them. He is so secured and contented in my love already.

Yup, i still keep my ex girlfriends' pictures. I even have one picture frame with me and my ex girlfriend on. I also have some photos on my wallet though i get rid of them when i'm in a new relationship just to give respect to my new girlfriend. I don't think my ex girlfriend care anymore if i still keep their pictures. Some of my exes hates me anyway.

my g-friend keeps kind of closer than standard relationship with her ex. she calls him her best friend. their break up and our start went simultaneously, as she seduced me while still in relationship with him. not all the way. and it went complicated. anyway, she kept their photos on the wall in her bedroom, and on her table, and over her table... and even on her table in college room in another city where she studies. i can tell you , it's the most horrible thing to look at the pic of him kissing her on cheek, when you wake up next to your g-friend. i just cannot think of anything positive from then on all day. she thinks i'm have no reason to be jealous. and you know what? i'm not almost all the time. i gave up on trying to have normal close connection with her, cause she seems to be too proud, to try to understand my normal reaction to this sh*t. i just said that i'll never go to her room if she doesn't put those pics away(i mean to box or something). she did(of course she left the colective photos), and i felt very confortable. next day i got comment on FaceBook from her ex saying, i should consider mental help for myself if his pics frighten me at night. what do you think???

Well I am married, and happily so, and could never imagine keeping any pictures of my Ex's. I just feel totally if people really want to have a Good go at things they need to distance themselves from things like this, or talking with the other person just to keep those temptations and possible future jealousies as well. I still have an Ex that still has pictures he keeps around of he and I even though we dated over 20 yrs. ago which I think is unreal for sure.

Happy Valentines day to you too. I have to admit I still have pictures with my ex-boyfriend but I'm not keeping it to reminisce or something like that. I think my partner will be furious if he sees those pictures, he's such a jealous man. I think I have to destroy it later ... LOL ... =)

Although I do have some pictures of my exes, I haven't openly displayed them while in my current relationship (4 years). He does know that I have them, and it's no big deal. My current relationship is coming to an end, should I ever be in another one, they will have to deal with the fact that I have 3 scrapbooks, full of pictures of him and places and things we did. I put too much work in to scrapbook pages to just shove them in a closet. And if any 'future' b/f,s/o etc has a problem with that........then he's not for me. He will have to know that I no longer even live in the same state as my soon-to-be ex b/f. It won't be, nor have I ever, had pictures of exes hanging on the wall or sitting on a shelf.

Some partners probably don't agree with their partners keeping pictures of their exes. But to me it's no big deal. My girlfriend still keeps a pic of her ex in her closet. That's her private stuff. I don't mind. They had memories, and I'm not hitting her head so she can have amnesia or something. Good or bad, it's part of her life if I like it or not. As long as she knows where her place is. Lol. I'm a bit of a jealous guy I guess. But pictures I don't mind. I don't even mind if she talks with her ex. But there's a thin line between that you know. To me if she crosses that line of trust she might as well go all the way. Lol. That's better than trying to go fooling around. I do keep my exes old photos and keep it in a private place. I think it's quite normal. There are those who donot keep pictures or old stuff from their exes. I guess they're not comfortable with the idea. Specially if their break up was really disastrous. Lol. cheers!

Hi maxilimian, Oh yes, there are some pictures still left in my old wallets. It is just a remembrance. hahaha. It hurts when you remember, but it is still part of our life, can't deny that fact. It's ok to my hubby, he also keeps his ex picutre, and I dont ask him to throw it. take care

I think it is less complicated for you to get rid of everything that reminds you of past relationships. It is a sign that you have moved on because doing the alternative may be a sign that you may still be attached .. but that's just me =)

i must say that i`ll never find my ex photos, because maybe they will make me feel so bad. I had just a girl until now, for all that were, with who i`m not a friend anymore. All others we are verry good friends.

hey,has anyone ever seen a film called Little Blackbook? Once a girl opened her boyfriend's PDA, she opened the Pandora's Box - heaps of her BF's ex-girlfriends' photos poped up - she decided to to meet each of them and find the truth....but she never thought her colleague sold her out. She and her BF, together with his four ex-GF were all invited to an Aemrican show on TV, without knowing they would meet each other there. They were all on the air!! how embarassing was that !!! So the lesson is never open your bf/gf's PDA... The film is highly entertaining though..:D

For me it's not a big deal. I do not advise every couple to keep pictures of their exes around after embarking in a new, serious relationship. So, when do you get rid of the pictures? If your new love interest is really threatened and insecure about you keeping pictures of your ex, it might be because you put a lot of importance on your past relationship. As a way to show how much more important your new relationship is, you can get rid of old pictures. But, You can also compromise by putting the pictures away. Especially if the pictures are group shots, with other friends, they might be fun to look at in twenty years. If you and your new love are still together then, old pictures of an ex shouldn't be a big deal by then. The best way to dealing with this situations is talking about it--I don't mean arguing or fighting, but actually talking about it. A healthy relationship can only exist with a lot of open communication. If both of you can express your reasons for wanting to keep or get rid of the pictures, you will both learn a lot about your relationship.

Hi! Yes, I am still keeping my ex-boyfriend's photo even though we have not communicated for the longest time. I keep a particular photo for memories' sake, just as I keep family pictures. It does not bother me at all. I don't have any feelings for the guy anymore and I am not rushing into another relationship either. I hope that my future boyfriend would be understanding enough about my photo collection, otherwise he would not be worth being with, because I would consider it very immature to get jealous over a picture. Happy myLotting!

We never actually talked about keeping our ex's pictures, maybe because it's really not a big deal to us. I still have some pictures of my formers but I keep them in a scarp book only and not because I have feelings for them or something! -cherry

I see no reason people can't keep such pictures. This is a part of our lives we lived before our current relationship. We shouldn't feel compelled to toss away these memories just because we have moved on. I have pictures of my ex husband, although I despise him. But, he was part of my life for 20 years. I learned alot from and with him, and he is my son's father. I even have pictures of my high school sweetheart - although I haven't heard from him in over 30 years. These photos attest to the adventures and experiences we have thruout our lives. Why should we throw those away?

happy valentines day to you too. i am now with my corrent partner and that is my wife. but i keep some pictures of my previous girl friends. because i wanted to see them soe times. when i remember them i want to see their picture. its a another feelings. the girlfreind whom i keep the pictures didnt do any harm to me. she went away without any reason. she didnt meant for me. so we are not come in a same life. so i dont think it would be any wrong to keep pictutres of your ex-frined.

Though I don't have a current partner but I still have the photos of my ex.For the matter of fact I also have her emails with me.These things remind me about the good days we had.Though I know nothing will be right once again but it is not that easy to get out of a relationship so easily.It really hurts.Now she is with someone else and it does not make any difference to her even after knowing that I still keep her photos.Just Move on ....
