Is it ok for a married person to keep pictures of their Ex boyfriend or girlfriends?

under lock and key my friend, lock and key. :)
jk,
I think there should be a open discussion about it between the two people.
Two people that close should be able to discuss how they feel about it.

I think that a part of a person is there past, and that both people should be able to except that.

just don't have them in frames around the house.

I have some somewhere, in a box with a ton of old stuff from high school. my husband doesn't mind because he knows i'm not looking at it all the time and he understands it's all past stuff. the only reason i keep it is because i don't have many pictures of myself from that time period without the ex.

he got rid of all his ex's pictures when we first started dating since the only ones he had were of the ex's and not with himself.

In a word NO

as momentos, thats all, and be real open with them. be sure your spouce knows that they mean the world to you. and that the ex's are just that, a memory of days gone by.

No it is not ok unless you want your spouse or partner to find out. Plus keeping pictures of your ex's will trigger back old unnecessary emotions and it will end up causing problems in your current relationship.

Why would you WANT to keep a picture of them? Keep pictures of your lovely betrothed!

depends on the partner. some will say no some will say hell no. me, personally, i don't really care that much. As long as there not chillin everywhere like on the fridge or on the wall. but, i'm probably weird. i think most people would say no.

I think so.. my husband has some pics of his ex girlfriend and me of my ex boyfriends. But they are up in boxes or in photo albums somewhere. If it was a long term relationship it's kind of hard not too I mean I would even have to get rid of my graduation pictures .. As long as there not like on display or anything

Yes~ they are your memories and they are only pictures!

its ok if you want to piss off the person you are married to. single life and all its luxuries are over. keep pictures of you inlaws instead.

Its ok if the partner is understanding, which is generally not. SO expert's advice is don't do that.

passhh..yeah right! not in my house! F that!

Yes, as long as there are no feelings or emotions about that person still around.

I have pictures of my exes, and my husband has pics of his exes too. I have no problem with that.

I think a photo represents a part of my past, and shows what's made me who I am today-- whether it's an ex, or old friends, or anything else in a photo-- so it's not something I would destroy or throw away. (But they should be kept in a box or album or some sort-- not displayed on the mantlepiece or framed on the wall or anything!)

No...

I think it's ok if there are reasons behind it, for example my fiancee keep a picture of him and his ex with him in his wallet but my fiancee's kids are in the picture too. If they are family picture or if the person doesn't have any feeling for the ex in the picture then i think it's ok. It's memories.

I don't think it's appropriate if it was my situation, but if another couple is okay with it, it's none of my business.

basically, no because it brings doubts to your partner that your still into them or you still wanna be with them and if you really liked your partner, you don't need to live in the past.

I still have my pictures that I took with my boyfriend of 5 years. Once I got engaged (yes, I had two boyfriends. I was trying to see who was going to ask me to marry them first.) I put the pictures away in a drawer.

I have been married a little over 3 years now and I still have those pictures. They are stored away in a box and in my closet.

Those pictures look nice, especially of me and I don't want to toss them out. Those were good memories. I just make sure to keep them in a safe place and never have them posted up on walls, mantels or dressers or any thing and it has seemed to work all of this time for me.

It also depends on if your spouse is a snooper and always looking in your personal belongings. My husband isn't nosy, so that helps a great deal too.

Not if it were him with a bunch of pictures???? Those would have come up missing a long, long time ago!

HA!

rajan naidu

its ok. but u have to keep it carefully so your partener should not get hurt.

daydreamer

No, why would you? It would make me think you still had feelings for her and that you can't completely let go. You will always remember so leave all of it behind you and close the door and move on.

sure it is when there ready they'll get rid of them,, just dont preasure the person your with, things always work out for the best always just rule of thumb ,ust be happy that the person is with you and not the person they are keepin the pic of,,,,,

care

Hey dear

If ur present partner have no problem with it then doesn't matter. but if u have present partner then why u keep the picture of ex.

But if u want keep it to u then why u make him/her ex. So dear live with present becuase it may be hurt ur present partner's feeling.

housewife

Yes its okay, it's your remembrance, keep it for you to remind the good things & lessons you learned from them.

I would think that would depend on the person. I am a jealous type with issues like that & would raise immortal hell if I found he was keeping such things. But, I have nothing to worry about as he can't stand his ex's. I also wouldn't keep that sort of thing either, as I have nothing for them even though I didn't depart on bad terms with them, I still see no need for pics of them.

littleloudboy2

sure as long as your partner does not care.

Aii29

it is ok.
BUT
why do u wanna keep them ???
No use.
Do u mean, u still wanna feel those ex-loves ??
Dun be, sweetie.

The past should evaporate when two people get married..They should be the center of each others universe..There should never be any outside interference..Are you paying attention to this??Let the past go and move forward..Throw the pictures away it doesn't matter how innocent they appear they will only hurt or at least make the other feel insecure..No one wants to feel insecure in a marriage
