When we got married my wife wanted me to rid of pic of my exes. I did it and didn't mind since it didn't seem appropriate for a married man to keeps of girls he'd done.

My wife despises my ex so much that when she moved in with me and my son, the three of us scoured the house looking for any residue of my ex. We found a boxfull of pics, baubles and leftovers of hers that she left behind, took them out behind the house and burned them in a barrel. It was invigorating.

Tell her the inappropriate pics go... or you do.

It doesn't seem like a good idea for her to keep those pics. But more importantly she should not want them on her own.
If you stumbled across them on your own it could be a matter of her simply having forgotten them.

From what you said that doesn't appear to be the case.

i've not read the full 3 pages but I have to say that i'd not have a problem with my partner having pictures of him and his ex. Unless they were sex pics, then i'd have an issue.

I've got photographs and cards etc from relationships going back to when i was 16. They are part of my history and why on earth would I destroy them, Hiding or destroying pictures doesn't mean that the person in them has been airbrushed out of your partners life.

Its more about your insecurity if you'd rather see them destroyed. (in my opinon)

I have some in a box. I would never have any online! That would be so rude, insensitive and disrespectful to my husband. He would never go for that, nor would I if tables were turned.

Is it just me or does this:

for those that keep pictures of exes, why? when you look at the pics what does it mean? does it stir emotions? does it make you miss the ex? whats the point?

its my belief that this life journey is about finding the one. if you have to keep pictures of others, maybe you havent truly found the one.

I threw my husband's pictures of his ex wife away after we were married. They were in a box with cards and letters. I did this shortly after we married and he didn't mind. I have no clue if I still have photos of any of my exes. If I come across them, I will toss the pictures out. I have no attachment whatsoever for them.

I have pictures of my ex husband in a photo album in my closet. The only reason I've kept them is because if something ever happened to him, I could give them to our children so they'd have some to hold on to when they got older. Other than that, I haven't kept any other ex pictures.

Or maybe you just don`t want to destroy the documentation of your life and you shouldn`t have to.

I have photo albums going back to before I was born from my family.
My life is well documented in pics and I see no reason to throw them out because of someone else`s insecurities.

I will take them down every now and then to show my kid the crazy stuff I used to do or reminisce with an old friend.

I certainly wouldn`t display them publicly but I see no need to trash them.

Just because you`ve found "the one" (whatever that is) is no reason to forget how you came to be there.

Same goes for women and their exes.

I got rid of pics of my exes and my husband got rid of pics of his. We have no need for them. Getting rid of pictures doesn't erase the past or pretend it didn't happen. We all have our mental memories.

Beside's just because something was a part of our past, doesn't mean we even want to remember it....like that awful perm I got when I was 18! LOL
