Well, not everybody parts on such bad terms as yours.

I would be beyond pissed. An ex is an ex for a reason..........

I have several of those collage-type picture frames...with many old friends and faces in them, and my ex-hubby is in one of them - a cute pic of him sitting on the beach in the water. I would never even consider ripping out any of those pics - they are all there to remind me of good times.

Any boyfriend of mine would know my mind, and have no reason whatsoever to be jealous of something so insignificant as a picture from my past.

Pictures capture that moment of happiness and no happiness should be permanently deleted so having pictures of an ex or the past is fine so long as the present also fills the space. No pics of the present and pics only of the past can leave the new person in your life feeling inadequate and second hand. Bring in the happiness of the present moment and assure your new love that you are ready and happy to move along to another phase in your life and that he / she is now the love of your life. Fill your present world and space with things about you and him / her that make you happy.memories that make you laugh are always the nicest things to have around the house.

This has happened to me. I was dating a guy who was cleaning out one apartment to move to another and had brought a few photo albums in my car to bring to his new place, he accidentally left one in my car and there were a few photos of his ex in there. I was not too angry about it, but she was gorgeous. I gave it back to him and haven't talked about it since. I say, as long as the feelings aren't there, its fine to keep the memories. I don't have actual pictures, but I do have a ton of pictures of my exes. No big deal.

The only way I'd have a pic of the ex up would be for the kids. No kids? I'd go scorched earth and get rid of it all. (Meaning take it all down, I'd keep some of the pics)

Who gives that kind of life altering power to Kodak paper, really? Reminds me of my Abuelita who insisted a wet string on my forehead would stop the hiccups.

I have photos of some of my exes. I don't have them out, they're in albums. I wouldn't flaunt them but I'm not getting rid of them. They are a part of the experiences that make me who I am.
