His relationship with his ex was probably good for awhile, and he keeps the picture as a reminder of that. She IS his ex, and he's with you now, so that shouldn't bother you.
Sounds like you want him to totally forget about his past. He can't change history, and you shouldn't expect him too.
I have lots of pictures of my ex-wife, and the women I dated after our divorce, as well as pictures of my current SO. They are all part of my life.
Has anything been added to it or updated in a long time? He may have just left stuff and never got around to organizing or deleting stuff.
I do that with email. I have over 26,000 unread emails in my inbox (not counting the junk folder). At this point it is a lost cause to try to go through everything.
Don’t feel bad for snooping. However, it’s true that whatever you’re looking for you’ll find which lead you to look for it in the first place. Is he doing something that’s making you feel unsafe in the relationship? There could be various reasons on why you’re feeling hurt and finding those pictures was icing on a cake.
Who knows the real reason. I know for a fact that I have a pic of me and my ex from 5 years ago somewhere and I am the one that dumped him and doesn’t care about him , so 🤷🏻♀️ It could mean anything

Have you eliminated every picture you've ever taken with a dude? Chances are no and if you have that's ignorance. Those are memories that you can never get back. There is a reason that you went snooping around his phone. If you don't trust him don't date him
I have a difficult time managing all my google BS. I just download all my google data and there is sh*t in there I wish I knew how to get rid of but still have trouble getting rid of it. Don't execute him just yet. But, if he knew what he was doing, I'd put him deep in the doghouse prior to dumping him.
It could "mean" nothing. He might not even remember they are there or simply just haven't deleted them (for no "reason", just hasn't). Don't jump to any conclusions. Except for the fact that you snooped, you could simply ask him about them. But I think men and women are very different that way. If you kept pictures, it probably "means" something, but guys aren't like that.
It’s part of his past. You have one too. Forget about it.
So you admit you were snooping, but you only clicked on the folder because you thought it was 'church stuff'... yeah right.
Well that's totally normal people have lives before you met. People have the right to keep photos of the past nothing wrong with that.
Honestly he probably doesn’t know they’re on there. I downloaded google photos on my phone and it had pictures I completely forgot about. Now if they’re on his phone then you might need to say something.
Which would be worse, this or thousands of p0rn files?
