Would you put a picture of yourself and an ex on your wall if you'd moved on?

Question

My boyfriend moved in with a friend the other day and I noticed he put a picture on his wall of him and his ex girlfriend while they were dating- with his arm around her. It was his first long term relationship, but it ended almost two years ago. They haven't really spoken since and from what he says, he's not too fond of her. I understand keeping a picture for the sake of memories, but isn't it more appropriate to put the picture into a box in the closet or something?

Answer 1

No I wouldn't put a picture of my ex on the wall, especially if "I'm not too fond of them anymore".



I'm sorry but I don't believe that. If there was a picture of the both of them in his house and he never got round to removing it then i could understand that but to move and find a space on the wall for it I would say that he's lying.



You need to talk to him about it and find out exactly how he feels about her and why he still puts pictures of her up - especially if he isn't fond of her.



Then if he doesn't remove it, then I would seriously think long and hard about this relationship.



Good luck.

Answer 2

It's odd.

A blast from the past doesn't belong in his current home on the walls.



Although, I'd been married to my husband for 5 years and his Mother still had a picture of him and an old gf on her shelf in the living room...she didn't even care for her. People can be strange.

In short your boyfriend is out of line. Hey it may not be intentionally but he is disrespecting you. 1st tell him to plz take the picture down as it mays you feel uncomfortable. if he goes then all is well. If not tell him in no uncertain terms he has an option the picture goes or you do. This may sound harsh but why should you play second string to a photograph. Best to you

Answer 4

No, I wouldn't put a picture up of an ex. Maybe he doesn't have any other good pictures of himself. I'd talk to him about it, that's not something you want your current mate to have to look at.

Answer 5

I agree with you 100%. It doesn't matter how long he was with his ex, he's with you know, and should respect your feelings by putting the picture away. I actually think it's very good of you to even let him keep it.

Answer 6

Maybe buying darts is the best way to approach the situation. An early Christmas gift.

Answer 9

Put a picture of you and your ex as your cell phone wallpaper.

Answer 10

I would have to say its kind of odd to hang it up.
