I've been dating my boyfriend for almost 2 years. When we first started dating he had pictures of all his friends and his ex-girlfriends on his wall. I was like okay their just friends, even though he dated all of them. .but eventually he took them down because it's rude and I don't display exes on my wall. .but anyways once in awhile the conversation comes up and he always randomly goes "yeah I still have pictures of my ex girlfriends and I'm never gonna throw them out". .I laugh and go okay? I never told him to throw them out I just found it weird and disrespectful he kept them on his wall for so long until I had to say something. Who want to lay down on their girlfriends/boyfriends bed and see a gallery of their exes? I don't and I don't even talk about them so why does he? Does anyone find this weird or have dealt with this?

Okay but that's 7 years that's different I could see someone keeping pictures then. .but he only dated them for a couple of months so why should they matter to him so much? That's what I'm sayin.

Ummmm I think that he just has a hard time letting go of his exes. If it really bothers you that much then you should just ask him why he still has them, ask him if he wants them back and ask him if he loves you still, and you should ask him to just throw them out because he is dating you now, not them. It is time for you to take a stand for your rights sister! LOL

Pictures Of Exes

Ok listen up, I too like your BF have pictures of my ex. I was with her for 7 years from the time she was 15 to 22. I loved her so much and considered the time spent with her was the best time of my life. For about the past three years I have had new GF and I think the world of her she's awesome anything and everything any guy could want. She seen my pictures of my ex and she asked me to throw the pictures away. But I had to decline. My pictures are my past and I know that. Those are memories and feelings of good times I can always go back to throughout my life even when I become an old man. And I don't believe there's nothing wrong with that. We should all cherish out good times and good memories forever instead of always dwelling on the bad one's!!

I have dealt with this yes...so after my husband and I were together for sometime, I accidently came across some of his personal stuff and out came some pictures of his ex girlfriends, like alot of them. I had no idea he even still had them, so I was like what are these and why are they still here?...Anyway, as far as I know, he was no longer friends with these girls anymore, so I asked him if they meant nothing to him anymore, would he throw them out, and he did. Few years later, we got married, had a few kids, blah blah blah....But I certainly wouldnt have kept pics of my ex around, expecially if they didnt mean anything to me. You guys have been together for 2 years now? I dont know....seems like he should get rid of them, but thats my opinion. Good luck

My husband still has pics of one his exes, I have a few pics of mine. We're both secure enough to know nothing is meant by it other than memories. We're over our exes but they all mean something to us be it something we learned, a special thought, whatever. As long as he isn't pining over her or I over any of mine, there's nothing wrong with keeping a few pictures.
People have memories no matter what. Throwing out a picture or a letter won't destroy those memories, they'll all still be in their minds and hearts and there's nothing you can do about it. Stop being jealous and insecure and let it go. So long as he's not whipping them pictures out regularly, stop worrying about why he has them. Until your closet is free of skeletons, you have no room to talk.

I think it is rude for him to have them on his wall still. It's okay to keep the pictures, but they should be far away in an album that you don't look at often.

Sorry but that is abit strange, it seems he really dosent want to let go of his past which isnt fair on your relationship.
You need to tell him he has to let them go if he wants a future with you.
