I wouldn't say it's abnormal...I always ask about them/to see pics

For me it's purely curiousity (and if they're super hot then you know to keep your partner away from them lol)

Yep, I'm the same.......My boyfriend's ex has a myspace site and I sometimes find myself looking at that even though I don't know her. I guess I just wanna see if she's uploaded any pics from parties etc that he might be in (but then I always get annoyed if here are any pics of them together, so i probably shouldnt look!)
Yes. Especially if he keeps pictures and letters of her in his bedroom drawer, she played 11 musical instruments and got 10 A*s at GCSE.

But she wasn't that hot. It's all good.

That'd be awful!

What about downloading the pictures to your computer? Even if it's "to look at when I have time"?

It seems like you're punishing yourself and comparing yourself, not good for you surely?

How would the partner make the one looking at the photos feel more secure?

Does your boyfriend know you look at it?

It's totally normal. I'm exactly the same. (Either that or we're both just strange :smile:)

I tend not to be too bothered about it, to be honest... In the past and all that.
Im wondering why anyone would care about their own ex after they have found a new partner, let alone their other half's partner.

If a girl wants to date an ex I will give her my ex's number.
Otherwise they can shut up and stop being such a weirdo.
My bf's ex is a minger!!! And now has a kid!

lol,what's weird about wanting to know what they looked like. (although stalking is a bit far).
To be honest, I'd be more worried if the ex was really ugly/evil/freaky, they say most boys go for a similar type of girl...., and it would mean they have no taste, which would be awful since they're now going out with me.

i duno wether im naturally nosey but id deff wana see what they looked like lol
Paranoid about ex's. God, if you meet them in the street, heck. Horrible! I just want to claw their eyes out...My ex's ex was gorgeous, seriously she was stunning and very, very (Cantab enough) intelligent. I felt so bloody dowdy and stupid next to her!

But just think of it this way...she can't be that amazing compared to you, because he went put with you instead of her. I think that makes you more amazing in his eyes!!!

it is more a girl thing, but none of my gfs have ever specifically asked me to see photos.

Although in the last few years that might be to do with the photos of all my mates on my wall at uni, which include all my exs somewhere coz either them or the others in the pjhoto are still mates :p:
