I am just wondering what the protocol is for pictures of exes when you get married.
Is it OK for you to keep pictures of old girlfriends or boyfriends in the bedroom when you get married, as long as they are out of sight.

No it is not ok to keep pictures of old girlfriends or boyfriends. These need to be burned!! it only causes a rift inbetween the couple. The past is the past and should be left there.

It's ok to keep pictures...that's all part of your history, like it or no. I'd keep them put away, though, unless the picture has a lot of your other family/friends in it. Your current spouse shouldn't feel threatened by a picture, but it's just sort of a respect/caring for the one you're with thing.

Nothing wrong with letting her keep those memories.It is a part of her.My girlfriend still has pic. of her first and only before me.She was engaged to him for 4 years.They are in a shoebox in the closet along with some of his artwork and letters to.
I still have alot of things from ex-g/f in my box.
I dont see anything wrong with it.As long as they stay memories

Yes thats fine....Marriage doesnt mean you have to throw away your past or your life.. it just means that you love this person and want to spend the 'rest' of your life with this person. I have pictures of my ex's some are in my photo album and some are scattered in my drawers and my ex still calls me occasionally to see how things are going and how life is treating me and my husband dont care. He also has pictures of his ex scattered in the drawers and everything. They are just pictures and you know something if you want to throw away your own pictures than go ahead and if you dont than keep them but if the other half wants you to throw away stuff and you dont want just let him or her know look this was my past and i am going to remember whether the pictures are here or not if you dont like it oh well i promised i would spend the rest of my life with you.

Umm no. There isn't protocol on that it's just tacky. Just because they are out of sight doesn't mean your partner won't see them eventually if they are looking for something. I'm trying to get my mother to dump pictures of my HS ex but she won't. One day they are just going to disappear.

No. What do you mean out of sight. Are they facing the wall or put in the closet. The bedroom should be off limits.

The bedroom a special place for you and your husband. If you have no other storage place than on top of the closet in a box, then that is fine. I have a few pics of my ex in the bottom of my jewelry box. (he died about 3 years before I remarried), but out of respect for my current husband, I don't display them. There is one in my son's room of the three of us, but other than that, they are not out where my husband has to see it.

I don't think this is a good idea. I mean, why the hell would you want pictures of your ex wife/hubby? GF's & BF's come & go, but there is a GOOD reason you & your ex got a divorce.
Trash them. Unless you have childred by your ex. If so, give them to your kids.

No, you really shouldn't, unless maybe if they are deceased.
And what do you mean by out of sight? In a shoe box stored away somewhere would be OK, I guess.

I don't think that sounds like a good idea. I think that pass is the pass why keep visible memories. I'm pretty sure your new partner wouldn't like that. They may think you still have feelings for your ex. Why cause trouble. I think its best to get rid of them or have them in storage.
