do you still have pictures of your ex's
if you do does your spouse care?
if you don't, do you ever wish you did?

I do, but they're in a box somewhere, probably at my parents' house. I'm not big on pictures, I might have like 40 total scattered between my place and there.

one of them was in my band with me, so yes. (also kept some other personal ones---it was a 6 year relationship so...).

the other, well... I got rid of almost all of them... prolly kept one just for the hell of it.

edit: both are burried in boxes somewhere.

I'm not married, but---apart from wanting to save a little piece of my history---I don't really feel the need to hold on to any memories of past relationships. They feel a little irrelevant now.

yes


no


i've had few true gfs & have 'em all in pix. if i dated salma hayek, i'd wish i did.

I probably have 1 or 2 somewhere, but I have no idea where, so clearly it's not important for me to have them around. My husband probably wouldn't care, but I do have a girlfriend whose husband kept all his ex's pictures in a photo album, and she was really incensed about that. I guess it depends on the person.

I know I have some tucked away in old photo boxes only because I haven't taken the time to go through them, but I don't think it bothers her. If it did, I certainly would have no problem letting them go.

I'm not a picture person but I wouldn't throw out pictures. I just don't have any.

Yep, lots of pictures of ex-girlfriends. Just part of one's past, after all. Although those, um, more posed pix are pretty well hidden.

i'm guessing one of my ex gfs has webcam footage. hope she made some good bubblegum money with that.

i have a ton of old photo albums starting with freshman year in college. these are more of a document of certain times in my life than tributes to exes...but yes, ex-girlfriends are in there. i don't think i could get rid of them if my wife asked me to, but it doesn't bug her in the least bit anyways so it's a non-issue.

I just went thru this the other day, when Mrs. Dawg showed me a picture on an ex.

I don't mind that she has them, but I don't really wanna see them.

only the naked ones

Only a few - wedding photos - stacked in my closet. Since Laura was the family photographer, she took almost everything, which sucks. I don't want nine years of my life to be almost completely undocumented, and have asked her if we can work out some sort of duplication deal, which I'll pay part of.

At this point, I have pictures of almost every girl I've been with / hung out with since Laura, and I feel like I am documenting a good part of my life, so I hope that it will never be an issue in the future - these women are more like good friends than serious relationships, so I don't know why it'd ever be a problem.

i guess i've kept most pics. the one relationship that ended badly- i got rid of those. my husband isn't bothered by them, its not like i take them out and look at them all the time. that would be a problem.

lol, I was browsing an amateur site and came across a picture that I swear was an ex of mine.....I didn't take it and it was dated after we were together....I think I've got it saved to my HD somewhere so technically I guess my answer to your question is yes

nope, but i do still talk to one a few times a week. wife knows.

I don't think keeping pictures is weird at all. In fact, I think getting jealous about somebody's ex from old pictures is a lot stranger.

Somewhat on topic...or maybe not...but do most of you have pictures taken w/ your "sig other" fairly soon in the relationship? Or...I dunno, I mean, I have taken a few pics of someone I've been seeing since November. I don't think he has a dig cam but he's never taken one of me, heh...nor have we had one taken together like all couple-y and whatnot. I've just taken a few of him (though he has images of me on his computer that I gave him) but I dunno, even though I despise having my pic taken and generally do not photograph well at all, I would like one of us together.

i have a few thee month (and more) relationships with NO pictures of us together.

nah.

but oh do i have memories

i just found a bunch of old pictures while looking for some cd booklets, so yeah I guess.

Hrmm....okay, so next off-topic question. When do you start mixing w/ other people in their lives? I've met his parents a couple of times on accident but he's not met my family (well we live an hour apart). But we've also never hung out w/ other people in his town (his friends) but we run into a million people who know him and say, "hey" as they walk by but never any stop and introductions (well, I guess they were literally just walking by and not saying more than hi)....he has taken me into his work a few times and not introduced me to co-workers but has hung all over me at his work, so I don't think I'm a secret, heh. OH, I hate all this mystery.

i've only introcuded one girl to my parents in the last 12 years, so i probably shouldn't answer that question.

Ok, so how long do guys wait to say they love you? heh...I'm really not that inexperienced, it is just I had three long-term relationships in a row and so haven't dated much since early 90s. Now, too, I'm seeing someone 10 years younger so...I'm all weirded out by how great it is...unexpected...but neither of us have uttered the "L" word though it is a very loving relationship.

my only advice is to not say it during or right after sex.
