I started dating my girlfriend recently and as I was showing her photos from my past (trips, holidays), we came across some with an ex-girlfriend. Some are pictures over 10-15 years old, some prints and some on the computer. I had a few longer term relationships in the past where we went on holiday together so they would contain nice scenery and such. She says I should delete everyone as I shouldn't have them.
She argues that I should be 'over' my ex-girlfriends from the past and don't need them around. I argue that they are just there as part of my past and no different than old friends, colleagues and such.
In the end, I deleted ones with just an ex and I without much background or scenery as to me, it was not too big of a deal. I do feel this isn't right though and that perhaps she is being out of line. She wants every single shred of evidence of an ex deleted or trashed. We've only been dating for 6 months! Is this right?

Thanks for the feedback. I see this (among other things) as an early warning sign and ended the relationship. It would only get worse.
Cheers!
