Why keep pictures of Your Ex?

 Before i proceed, I personally will not accept that. I know every relationship requires understanding, trust, and compromise. If you are ready to move in with somebody, you need to have all three of those things first.


But why not let your past with this person go? As a way to show how important your new relationship is, you should get rid of old pictures with time.

I do not advise every couple to keep pictures of their exes around after embarking in a new, serious relationship. So, when do you get rid of the pictures?

If your new love interest is really threatened and insecure about you keeping pictures of your ex, it might be because you put a lot of importance on your past relationship. As a way to show how much more important your new relationship is, you can get rid of old pictures.

You can also compromise by putting the pictures away. Especially if the pictures are group shots, with other friends, they might be fun to look at in twenty years. If you and your new love are still together then, old picturesof an ex shouldn't be a big deal by then.


What I don't recommend is point blank refusing to get rid of pictures.
The best way to dealing with this situations is talking about it--I don't mean arguing or fighting, but actually talking about it.

A healthy relationship can only exist with a lot of open communication. If both of you can express your reasons for wanting to keep or get rid of the pictures, you will both learn a lot about your relationship. In fact, it might be the thing that keeps you from becoming Exes.
