Boyfriend looking at pictures of his ex

Hi everyone,

I have the following dilemma, please let me know if I'm overreacting or not.

My boyfriend and I have been together for 9 months, we moved in together and all. Very happy, very in love (both of us) love of our lives.
Now he's had a 2 year relationship with his ex before me.
1 month ago I checked his internet history (I know it's very bad) and found that he looked through his ex's whole Photo Album! And some other girls as well. I confronted him about it and felt bad because I obviously shouldn't be doing that. He said he just like looking at pictures when he's bored.. no apparent reason he said. Btw, he doesn't text or chat with any girls.. so he is definitely not cheating. He isn't a cheater and never has cheated on someone. Now I have checked his history again yesterday and discovered that he did that again! This time I didn't ask him about it because I didn't want him to know I'm snooping around. I feel quiet sad and worried of why he looks at pictures of his ex?
Am I over reacting? I know that he loves me more than any girl he's been with because he shows it.. but I'm just confused on why he looks at her pictures??

Anyone have an answer?

I know it's bad... I'm not a jealous type at all, really! It's because this is the first time I've truly been in love and I just wanted to check if he's faithful. I don't want to be lied to. I don't want to get hurt or not know when he is cheating on me It's a big mistake of me to do it. I've never ever been like this.. he just got me so hard!

Yeah that's true I should never do that again! You're right. I'm a person that never fell so hard for someone that's why. I think I'm just not myself sometimes.. I'm a bit too jealous. I really don't wanna be like that. It's very unlike me.

Well, you have acknowledged what you've done is wrong and as long as you don't do it again, everything should be fine. A little jealousy can be flattering a lot can be seen as annoying. Don't beat yourself up about it too much what's done is done.

He's probably just interested in someone's holiday photos - I've looked through friend's photo albums when I'm bored with nothing better to do. I'm definitely not thinking of sleeping with them, just jealous that they're having a great holiday! I think you're probably just overreacting, it's not as if he's actually chatting to her. Don't worry, it's understandable to react in this way if you love someone that much Just be happy he's not cheating on you or watching porn - he loves you, you love him, no need to stress

Yeah you're right! Thank you for your advice! Really needed it.. I just felt like ****
I know he's a good guy.. No reason to do that. Thank you

Stop worrying about it. Work on changing your behaviour and stop trying to change his.

He's allowed to look at pics of his ex. Why feel jealous? He has an ex, they had a connection. He will probably always feel a fondness towards her, but that doesn't mean that he wants to get back with her. Get over it.

No problem. You said that you've never fallen for someone so hard before so of course you may accidently go to an extreme on occasion because you don't want to lose your relationship, it just shows how much you love him. You seem like a really likeable person, especially since you realised your mistakes so will learn from them.

Yes exactly! It's because I am so vulnerable! And I know he is as well.. but he isn't that jealous. I've just gotten a bit too crazy. I need to man up a bit.. and stop being so stupid! This love thing makes me too sensitive which I can't handle sometimes.. So hard you know.

Thank you for all the replies! I know what i've done is bad.. I just couldn't help myself I feel bad for doubting him. I just couldn't live with someone of I didn't know they were doing something behind my back..
