I just talked to a past love from 33 years ago and was shocked to find he still has all the photos of us. He's going to send me copies. Do you keep copies of past loves?

Yeah, not for any reason though ... I just have some boxes of photo ablums and pictures and I just toss all the pics into a box until it fills up, then I start another box.

I never understood jealousy over your s/o having them (as long as they're not racey). It was just another part of your life. If you have to get rid of them just because you're with someone else, you should have to get rid of all evidence of life before your current s/o.

ETA: And as long as they don't carry it in their wallet. That would suck. LOL

I still have my high school year book, cus I get to look at the pictures of all the hot guys I used to like back then. They will be in my memory as a reminder of my youth when I get older or settle down.

Sure...I keep most pics that I've taken. Certainly I have those of my ex-husband since he's my son's father...my son will enjoy looking through those years from now.

Yes, I have kept pictures of previous loves. They are not framed and out on display but I have them in some boxes full of my mementos.

I have a few of exes in photo albums somewhere, as long as the relationships ended on an OK note. My of the pics of my ex-fiance ended up in the trash and are no longer in albums. I even threw away the pages from two scrapbooks I'd made of the two of us. I still have the digital files buried a few folders deep on a hard drive that isn't connected to this computer. Maybe I'll delete them someday.

No. The past is the past. I suppose I'll keep photos of stbx because of the kids but I'll give him all the ones with just him in them and probably burn the ones with both of us in them. The ones with us and the kids I'll keep.
