kittysaysmeow Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Hi everyone, Just wondering what some think about having pictures of an ex on facebook. The reason I ask is that my current boyfriend has pictures of him and his ex in his facebook picture album. I would be ok if they were group pictures but it's about 10 or so pics of just him and her. Now to be fair, these were added over 2 years ago and he now has pictures of us on his facebook, so I'm not worried about anything fishy going on. I guess I'm just wondering if having pictures of your ex on facebook the norm? I find it a bit odd because I took my pics the me and my ex off my page right after we broke up (for my benefit). At the very least, I would have taken them down as soon as I started seeing someone else. Thoughts? Link to comment
Keyman Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Everybody is different. I took the photos of the last girl I was dating from my site when we broke up, but I would happily have photos of some of my other exs in an album. I'm still friends with them on FB, so why not have photos? Link to comment
Louie3 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Some people just take facebook more seriously than others. I deleted mine recently, but still had pictures of my ex on there for about 6 weeks after we broke up. If I hadn't have found myself snooping on him, I would probably still have them up. I had pics of some exes there too, though, because we are still good friends. Are they friends?? Link to comment
kittysaysmeow Posted January 6, 2010 Author Share Posted January 6, 2010 Oh I agree. If you're friends with your ex then I completely understand but they had a terrible breakup and are no longer talking. They broke up over 2 years ago, so I'm wondering if this is just a laziness thing and forgot about the pics? I still think it's weird that he has pics of her on his FB. I would like to talk to him about it but I'm afraid it'll look insecure...which, granted, it probably is. Link to comment
DaisyDaisy Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I think its odd and i wouldnt do something like that. but as someone else said- everyone is different. i know guys who have pics of their ex's from like 4 years ago still in their profile pictures. And its nothing to do with anything emotional- they just dont care or dont notice enough to go out of their way to delete them all. Link to comment
petite Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I would definitely mention it. My ex had pictures of a girl he "dated" on his FB. I never liked that. I see no point in keeping such things if you have a partner. Link to comment
rpalce001 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 it's not okay..u should tell him how u feel about it..and remove them Link to comment
Unknown1607307972 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Personally I wouldn't be happy with it and would ask for them to be removed, I would also do the same of any pictures with me and my ex. Link to comment
kittysaysmeow Posted January 6, 2010 Author Share Posted January 6, 2010 I guess I would feel like I'm making it a bigger deal than it might really be. I mean, he has a picture of us as his profile pic, but those pics of him and his ex really bug me. Maybe I should just ask him and see what he says. Link to comment
KevinR Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 There are a few pictures of my girlfriend with her ex on her facebook. But I only know they're there because I went digging through all of her photos for fun, and I doubt she even realizes they are there since they're so old. But really, I don't care, they're old pictures and she's with me now. I probably won't even mention that I've seen them. Link to comment
