Pictures w/ the Ex
« on: July 08, 2013, 02:57:23 PM »
I was just cleaning up my closet and in the back I found a photo album that was given to me by my ex-gf when we broke up.  The album contains pictures of me, her, us, as well as a letter she wrote when we split ways.

Now, I will say I have ZERO feelings for the ex and I don't for a second wish I was still with her...  but, with that said it was nice looking at these pictures of us.  Included are the pictures of when I worked at Dollywood and my first trip to Vegas.  Also included are pictures of me when I was in great shape (30lbs lighter..  yeesh) and my hair had not yet begun to grey...

My question is...  should I throw this album out?  I don't want to make the current girlfriend jealous or upset if she happens to stumble upon it.  However, the pictures are some of the only documentation of 3 1/2 years of my life circa 2002-2006.  Let me know what you think.

It was a part of your life.  Keep it.  Love it or hate it now, it helped shape you to who you are.

EDIT: I have held onto old photo albums that contain ex girlfriends because they captured so many other great memories and my wife has never been defensive about it.  It was in the past.  I'm the same way towards her ex's.  Honestly we are all now friends with our old ex's.  They're all married with kids too. :)

EDITx2: Is "ex's" like "Y's"?  :-"

my dad has pictures of him with girls from a teen . He's like 60 now and my mom and dad have been together since they were 20 and she still gets upset about them. I'm glad he kept them though, it's a part of my dad's life. When you get older pictures are the best way to look back on your life.

Keep them, but keep them in your archives. Don't leave the photo album out on the coffee table or the living room bookshelf.

Keep 'em - obviously you don't want these in your main photo album, but if anything they're are great for laughs years down the road. The lady's gotta understand it's just for memories.

I was a train conductor on the Dollywood Express for the summer when I was 19...  but who wasn't?

Thanks for the input all.  Maybe I will take a picture of a picture and upload for Tats so that he can see how sweet I was a decade ago.  Then I will hide the album back in the closet for another decade for the gf not to see.

both my ex girlfriends turned out to be stupid bitchwhores, so I took all things related to them and threw them in the trash.

Including things they left at my house that they later asked for.

Having pictures like that around just lead to memories of what went wrong in my experience. I'd toss them.
