You're married or let's say u have a spouse. You have picture(s) of your ex whom you've been truly in love with for years. U still have feelings 4 ur ex somehow.
Do you still keep a photo of your ex ? Do you hide it somewhere so ur spouse won't see it? or u threw it away?

I'm not married, but I still keep pictures of all my exes. It's nice to look at them and realize how my tastes in men have changed. I would never throw them away, even if I did get married.

I am in fact married and yes I do have pics of two of my ex's as well as my bf...I have some up on the walls (my kids dad) as well as in my photo albums and so on....Why shouldnt I? They are/were all very key ppl in not only my life but also my childrens lives so jsut because I'm married doesnt mean I should forget them or not acknowledge their importance etc etc ya know...

I know, it is just hard for some people 2 accept it. It isn't easy but I guess it is cool if ur spouse shows full understanding in that regard. Thank you very much for your comments ....

I do have pictures of my children's father, but he is a part of my children's life. I don't have pics of my other ex's. My husband has pics of his ex wife, and they don't bother me she is the mother of his son after all. I don;t think their is a problem of you keeping pictures, because that is all they are just pictures, they are from a time in your life that has passed.

Yes it is accepted if ur ex is a husband or a wife but it is not easy if he is just a boyfriend or a girlfriend. Your ex hubby or your ex wife is a part of u and ur kids but if it is just an ex bf it won't be easy for your spouse 2 accept it, it maybe cool if he did but not easy at all.

Hi there
I fully understand ur point, rational (as usual). I guess the situation would be sensitive if ur spouse's ex wasn't his wife or the mother of his kids but it all depend on how u both look at and handle it. Sorry for my delayed response.
Thanx for your response x

I keep a whole video and image archive of all my ex's and use it to black mail them for money or i spread it like a virus!! *evil laugh* bwahahaha
Just kidding.
No I don't keep anything from my ex's. Or me ex. Once the promise is broken, they SHOULD mean nothing to me. But i broke this rule with my last ex..sigh, i kept something from her that meant a lot to me.
Yet regardless of what my partner would think, if she agreed to be with me, she agreed to the whole package and i always carry "luggage". I'd only hide it or not tell her about to not hurt her feelings.
Nice discussion as always my friend.
Am not married, why the hell would I want to anyway?

I fully understand why you broke that rule and honestly i don't blame you at all. I know how much she means to you. I do still have a pic of my ex, I hide it somehere, I guess the thing is we still want 2 keep some link with our past even if it is a simple sourvenir. Sorry for my delayed response, btw I sent u a msg on that regard, hope u received it.
Thanks for your valuable response.

My ex is the father of 2 of my children, so I don't think it would be right to throw away his pictures. If my partner were bothered by that, I'd think he was a bit insensitive. My partner has pictures of some of his exes, I don't see it as a big deal at all.

Hi there, I think this issue is delicate 2 some people especially those that are highly jealous. I understand what you're saying here. Thank you for the response.

I would throw it all away since im amrried already, its respect and i expect him to do the same. There is no more use in keeping the pictures.
