Pictures w/ the Ex

Get rid. You have the memories you WANT to keep.
(For good or for bad).

[FiftyQuid]

Rip them up or burn them.  If any future girlfriends find them it'll only mean trouble.  Especially the lovey-dovey photos.  Memories are kept in your brain, photos are not memories they are only triggers for memories so keep the photos that remind you of that time in your life, but get rid of the ones where she's in them.

If future girlfriends find them they will do the following;

1) Compare looks
2) Compare happiness
3) See your "type" and question you about it

Oh, and the 3 points I just mentioned aren't even for cRaZy girlfriends, they are just for women in general.

keep them.  You'll still have memories of that part of your life, for better or worse.  It's not eternal sunshine of the spotless mind.

If the woman is that crazy, find another one. Seriously.

You can keep 'em if you want, just don't look at them and sigh wistfully when your current gal is around.

I'd keep em, I've got some stuff from girls that I dated in high school still and it's interesting what kind of stuff you forget until you see something physical like an image or a note to remind you. 

As long as you're not dwelling on it I don't think your current GF would see a big deal.  I'd actually just stick it back in the closet or wherever you found it so that you can stumble upon it again in the future and get the nostalgia rush again

Exactly.  If someones with a woman that's so jealous that you aren't allowed to have a past, she need counceling. Run!

I say keep the pictures.

My father just died a couple weeks ago & I've been given several pictures of him.  We weren't terribly close & I hadn't seen him in almost 6 years, but looking at the photos helped me recall a lot of memories.

[coyoteslash]

If you don't feel ready to toss 'em, then don't. I used to keep an album similar to what you describe. Kept it for quite a few years, even while in another (better) relationship. Eventually, I stumbled across it and realized I didn't want it. You may come to this conclusion as well down the road.

[PunkicCyborg]

Are they still available? If so I'll buy them. PM SENT!!

[coyoteslash]

Sorry, long since traded for a broken cap gun and 7 pieces of Bazooka Joe (with comic!). I definitely got the better end of that deal...

[jeffhlewis]

The real question is whether she sent you "special" pictures. Those admittedly need to be handled with special care.

That's just terrible!


















































That they haven't already been posted.

[HercTNT]

[tggodfrey]

One of my current G/F at the time found my box of pictures with my Ex......yeah that was a shit storm.  If you keep it, hide it very well.
