Well it seems normal to keep old photos of his old girlfriend, guess it depends why they broke up.

ask him why, if it bothers you tell him.

how long was the gap in between her and you?

No offence but I'd say something about it, if he wants to keep that stuff, fine, but it shouldn't be around for you to see all the time.

I don't think he'd cheat but maybe you do need to say something...

Yeah true you'd think he'd keep them out of reach and yeah it wasn't like they were engaged or anything.

By the way you got a good picture, bon jovi rule.

Yeah i did Milton Keynes and Manchester it was fantastic best nights of my life.

I agree with Lyndz's post he is with you now but also i;m suprised he feels the need to keep old photo's of his ex.

You don't need to be worried but you do need to say something if it's bothering you.

I've had a bf for 6months now, and before me, he had a gf that he had for 1 year (she was his first girlfriend).

He says he loves me and stuff and is over her, but he still keeps photos of her round his family's house and letters, photos and mix tapes from when they were together.

I know he wouldn't cheat, but why can't he let go now?


Nothing wrong with him keeping them. She was a part of his life afterall, but as others have said, its a bit inappropriate for him to still display them. Maybe ask him why he is and tell him it makes you uncomfortable.

We did get together very soon after he broke up with her, like literally the same week, but we didn't get serious till months after.

I didn't mind seeing pics of her put away in his room and stuff, but his parents have got a framed one of my bf and his ex in their front room, and they know were together...

I really love him but seeing that pic today made me a bit upset, and now i'm worried he still loves her and is with me for convenience because he can see me all the time at uni.

I think i am going to ask him
to be honest you can't really say anything then...i mean, it's only his parents, parents can always be funny people and if they really liked her and it's a nice photo then there's no reason for them to take it down....

Like i said before, i would not worry about it. It's just a picture, if i were you i would not give it any second thoughts. Just keep thinking that your with him, he loves you you love him. Try not to give a picture too much thought about it. I am sure he is alowed to have his memories? Do you have any pictures of your ex? Well if you do, then those are just memories on paper, let him keep them. It proberly helps him to learn, from his last relationship.

Yeah i kinda see what you mean, but if that was my house, I'd ask my parents to remove it, theres just no reason for it to be on display-they've both moved on.

He talks about her a lot too, pretty much everytime I'm with him, a topic of conversation will crop up with her involved...

I might leave it a bit longer and see if it kind of wears off

if you don't like him talking about his ex all the time tell him. He might get a bit upset but if you explain how you feel i'm sure he will understand. Two of my close friends have just split up because she always talked about her ex.. just in a friendly way but it drove her bf mad and after trying to ignore it for a few months he eventually split up with her. it was not very nice because he never told her he didn't like her talking of her ex all the time..
So just talk to him if you really feel upset and down about it, there's no point hiding your feelings

just read the bit in bold. if its a nice photo then why should they take it down?

I am glad you understand, but it's not your house. Don't tell his parents to move it they might get very mad. Just ignore all the pictures and things he says about her. You don't want to break up over this ex girlfirends picture? It's not worth it, just try to make the relationship work out like the way it started out for you, try to avoid the subject of her when he talks about her.

yeah i agree with you there, but what if they think deep down that i don't compare to her, and worse, what if when I meet them all they talk about is his ex? :dong:
