If the person you're dating has kept pictures of their exes, would that bother you?

Do you keep old pictures of people you used to date?

I have tons of pictures. I saved every card or letter I ever got from my ex's. I was married to both for 12 years. I don't see it as a problem.....smokin

I kept a few that had my son in them, but the pictures of just me and my ex are all gone as far as I know. I do not need pictures to remind me of the bad times...lol.

If someone I was dating had pictures it would depend on what they were, no one wants to think about the person they are with having "bedroom" pictures of there ex. Also if they have their pictures up on the walls or out in the open somewhere I would think that is a sign they are not ready to move on...

Since I tend to stay friends with exes (things generally end on good terms), I don't get rid of the old pictures. They may not be sitting out, but I'm not going to throw them away.

Pictures are memories of the good times. As long as they are not hanging all over the house or on every shelf then what does it hurt... I still have all the pictures of me and my ex it's the kids dad if a man can not deal with that he needs to hit the door...

Not like I'm with them or want to be with them again..just reminds me there were good times and not to let the bad times cloud the good...whoa

Yep i have pictures of all my boyfriends and husbands, they where a part of my life, they made me happy and the pictures still bring back good memories.
My Hubby still has letters from his first girlfriend.:wink: It's just memories so i'm not sure why it would be a problem.

I have a few packed away. Doesn't bother me, shouldn't bother the other person.

Framed on the nightstand ? On display everywhere? That wouldn't be cool.

I have tons of pictures, none of my past relationships are on display though.
I have most cards, letters, pictures, mementos, etc. too ~ from everyone, parents, relatives, friends, kids, past relationships. They were/are a part of my life.
If the intent was the same on his part, I'd have no problem with it.

I would hope it wouldn't take his keeping pictures of his 'ex' for me to know it was truly in his past or not though!

No, it wouldn't bother me unless he sits and looks at them crying for hours at a time.
