my boyfriend still keep his ex 's photos ,what does it mean ,is it ok to do that ?what shoud I do then ?

Answer 1

It means that he still has feelings. But it doesn't mean that he has less feelings for you. Don't make that be the case by making the pictures of her an issue. Learn to be happy with what you have.

Answer 2

I have photos of my ex still. It's not because Im still hung up on her...Im definitely not! But its where I've been, I mean my life path has twisted and turned down different directions and if I dont remind myself where I have been then I will always make the same mistakes. So for me it's just a reminder for me to not make the same mistakes again.

Plus when Im like 80, I'll look back and be able to remember things that my brain has previously forgotten.

But everyone is going to be different...

Answer 3

My boyfriend still has his ex's photos and I have my ex's too. We were both married before and are mature enough to realize that it's just a picture of the past. Key word is past... as long as your boyfriend isn't still interested in his ex then its normal. I suggest you get him a new frame with you and him in it. Hope this helps (:

Answer 4

I Can only tell you personal experience. My husband of decades removed from my picture albums pictures of a previous boyfriend, serious relationship, but at a time we were dating. Everyone was young then, yes I know, but occasionally I still feel resentment that those pictures were removed without my permission, especially the pictures that included other people that were close to me at the time, and some that still are. I can't tell you if your boyfriend's keeping of his ex's photos means anything. But I can tell you that they are his pictures, and should be his to do with as he pleases. Start worring about it when he puts them out on display, otherwise I'd just let it go.

Answer 5

mmm...from experience if the pictures are still around then there's some attachment there too, no matter what he says. are they out in the open like on his dresser or something??? i mean that's bad, he should at least keep them in a box or something and put them away in a closet.

Answer 6

If he just has them in a box somewhere, then they're just mementos from his past. Now, if he like has a copy in his wallet or hung up somewhere, that's a different story.

Answer 7

What do you care if he still has them? Why would you be jealous of someone who is not there? Its no big deal unless he keeps them by the bed or on his closet door or something along those lines. Otherwise just don't worry about it.
-NmD!

Answer 8

Well, it depends on how he "keeps the photos". Are they stored in a box with his old baseball cards, and birthday cards, or are they prominently displayed around his house.

His ex is part of his past life, and he should be able to keep a momento of that time. However, he shouldn't be pulling them out and pining over them, or showing them off to you or others.

The important thing is that you should be confident that he is with you, because he doesn't want to be with her, or anyone else. Feel confident in that, and allow him to keep his old keep sakes of times gone past.

Good luck, and enjoy your time together.

Answer 9

I personally dont see anything wrong with it as long as they are put away somewhere so you dont have to see them all the time. I would not want them somewhere that i had to look at them but it is after all part of his past. I guess could mean hes not over her yet but not always the case. Good Luck!!

Answer 10

Girl, this happened to me recently. My boyfriend has a chest in his bedroom in his apartment that is filled with all kinds of things from his girlfriends since middle school and including his ex fiance's jewelry and engagement ring. I looked through it and i read all of the letters and everything it took me 3 days 2 read that stuff. i always wondered y is he keeping this stuff and honestly i want to tell him to get rid of it. and i put like certain letters on top to see if how many times he has went thru the chest. everytime we make love i look over and see that chest and i feel like somehow he they are still there, like he still have feelings 4 them(especially his ex fiance) even though they had a bitter break up i wonder y is he still keeping these old memories when he has me to make new memories. it makes me feel like just another girl waiting to end up in that chest..i don't feel special. i feel like just another girlfriend. i want to get rid of the things in that chest little by little, but something is telling me not too. i have yet 2 tell him about how i feel. I know this isn't an answer 4 u, i just wanted 2 let u know that i am relating. hope you find the answer 2 this question b/c i need it too. Good Luck!!
