Why do you feel a need to keep the pictures? I also had kept pictures of my ex's until recently because It was nice to look at them and remember fun times. The last time I pulled the pictures and other stuff out I realized that I needed to let these things go because it was the past and it made my husband feel a bit uneasy. I just didn't feel like it was worth it anymore. It's up to you, but I would focus on your wifes security more than tokens from the good ol'days.

Yeah.....it makes your wife feel insecure that you would want to hold on to the past and other pictures of old girlfriends. If you were single, I'd say keep them. But you're not. You're wife's feelings should come first and you should honor her. If you don't do this little thing, Bubby Boy, you're gonna have alot of problems that involve more than pictures of old girlfriends. Why not give them to one of your friends to keep for you as long as your wife objects? Then when you're feeling a need for nostalgia, you can go look at them. Put your wife first!

Toss them. My wife had some old pics she had stashed away. I thought "what the hell is she keeping these for" childish I know but I felt like she was hiding some old feelings from me. If it bothers her, you should get rid of them. The pictures should not mean anything to you anymore, if they do, why the hell did you get married?

If you don't get rid of them they will haunt you for the rest of your married life. Your wife will not hesitate to bring them up whenever she needs ammunition to use against you in an argument. If she does not have any pictures of old boyfriends then it's only fair to trash 'em.

I have a box like that to. I would throw out pics of my ex, but I have no desire to sort through that box. I'm sure its going to collect dust in the attic a while longer. If he pressed the issue, his happiness means more to me than a box of photos from a life without him in it.

I am in the same position as your wife, only my fiance knows how it makes me feel and could care less and throws everything away. Just answer me this, why do you want to keep them? Just the fact that you are tells me that you are still hanging on to something. Even if you aren't, that's how your wife feels. It would be very selfish to hold on to them.

Make the box "disappear". Toss it somewhere she will never see it, and let it collect dust. Those are memories. When you find it in 10 years, peruse it...ALONE, and make it disappear again. There's no reason to fight over it or rub it in her face.
Good luck

You should burn all of them. Why are you holding on to memories of them? Would you like it if your wife keeps and cherish photos of her exs?
