Would you expect a new partner to get rid of photos of his ex?

[Anonymous]

I would never hold onto photos of an ex. No matter how good the relationship was at the time

[Panzer21]

Not really, I won't demand it, if a couple of pictures lead to her leaving me to go to her ex, I dont want her anyways.
She'll most likely realize she broke up with them for a reason, and she'll have lost me too. Every painful lesson is a brick in the road to wisdom.

Love your comment. Especially "Every painful lesson is a brick in the road to wisdom."I am gonna always keep that in mind

[NYCQuestions1976]

Yes, with one exception: If they have a young child/children together. You never want to do anything that could possibly be considered parental alienation.

[Asker]

Thanks a great point. Thanks for your comment

[NYCQuestions1976]

You're welcome.

[NYCQuestions1976]

Thanks for Most Helpful. 👍

Nope, the ex was part of his life and he has a right to keep something if he wants to.

I do keep pics, I delete them from my phone and contacts but I do transfer them on a USB stick and keep old pictures, I nearly never look at them but I do have them

[TrueConfection]

I would hope he'd get rid of them like he would get rid of junk mail that sat on the kitchen counter for too long.

[TrueConfection]

Thank you for the MHO ❤

I wouldn't mind if they keep one or two photos but checking those out and talking about them very frequently is certainly a red flag.

Everyone is just human. Memories don't die until you die. So it's alright to keep something but not to an obsessive level.

[sheikalana]

I don't have physical photos of none of my exes but I have pictures of my exes on my phone. I'm not the type of person who deletes messages or anything else. I usually archive everything not because I go back in time to check on them but because they were part of my life at some point.

I’ve learned that’s a big mistake to order the girlfriend to do that I made a mistake at one time I come to realize I wouldn’t want her doing that to me after everything we’ve done together and going to Europe together but she still keeps him anyway after all. It’s the history of her past she should keep her history

[Ironmunkee]

Lol, of course I would. What self respecting person would be in a relationship where their significant other keeps pictures around pining over an ex lover.

[Lyndsielee666]

Lmfao I’ll get rid of them myself if he pulls that shit

[Nads111]

Yess! 🤣

[Lynzerilee]

No, because you can't change the past and what makes you who you are today, you can't just get rid of memories you once cherished, and that doesn't mean you will linger on them and compromise your current relationship

[Adam1978]

No but they should be put away and not be on display.

[RuthlessAggression]

I wouldn't expect them to, it's wrong to expect things, however in my mind I'm thinking, I hope she does the 'right" thing

[Helpmepls12345]

Honestly. It really depends for me. If they are still like friends and they are 100% that they aren’t going to get back together then he can keep them

[LigmaBallsack]

I would like that but I know that it probably wouldn’t happen.

[roy_ricky09]

Well you can expect anything and everything, but it's his decision.

[maximumpower]

he'll get rid of the photos when he's damn good and ready.
only a controlling bitch with poor self esteem would "expect" someone to ditch a friend - even if she's an ex.

[one1wild00]

No, not necessarily because it does make up part of the history of the person I'm dating.

[McKellar]

Here's a rhetorical question. You would think, right? lol

[fonduegirl]

Yeah. Memories can make you feel horrible.

[Jadethedream]

Yes as I would think it inappropriate

[WhitneySnow]

Yeah I would

[luvisrager]

Of course

[Dodo02]

Yes I would
