I don't think it's a big deal to have photos of exes. If your bf kept one on his desk at work then I would wonder. Quite frankly I have photos of exes and I would never want to get back together with them nor would I ever even fantasize about them, but the photos are nice memories to have of a certain era in your life.

You should not o around tampering with other people's disks, young lady. Bad girl.

ok i read that as "don't go tampering with other people's dicks."
that either?

also what zibber said is very funny.

and yes, it happens in movies, which is where i think a lot of us get this idea that we need to burn everything associated with someone? that doesn't really help you heal. their image remains in your head. it's not worth starting a fire over, or creating drama by messing with someone's computer. (do not mess with the computer--something i learned when i was 17 and broke up with someone over using his AIM for five minutes. YIKES. so yeah, i don't do it anymore.)

That, and it's just a huge fire hazard.

I don't care about the pictures of his exes,it was the pictures of chicks he had the affairs with I deleted.and I KNOW I SHOULDN'T HAVE! I have pictures of friends that are dear to me and I would be beyond pissed if someone deleted them. I don't ike people going and snooping in my laptop let alone deleting what they don't like! I feel horribe about.hell I even stayed up all night helping him get them back.I NEVER pictured I would be a snoop gf.I hate that. But I was o overcme by emotions(I JUST found out about it) that I wasn't thinking.which is no excuse but it is the truth.

I don't think there's anything wrong with deleting his pictures of women he had affairs with.

Then again, I don't think there's anything wrong with cutting his testicles off in his sleep for having said affairs.

I was involved in an affair (she had the bf) and I have a few photos of her and me together, some from before when we were just friends.

I've kept the messages but haven't deleted them and kept them as proof because she still denies a lot of it (even though it was obvious from the beginning apparently) but I haven't looked at them.

But if I were her (she is still with the bf after I told him about it) and she had pictures of me, it would be weird to keep them. But there are still FB photos of us together. De-tagging them would probably be a bit too obvious.

I carry pictures of ex-presidents in my wallet, if that counts. I'd only keep pictures of an ex-girlfriend if she died while we were still together.

You told the bf? That's kind of a [redacted] move.

Personally, I remove all physical evidence of a relationship. As I'm not suffering from the onset of dementia, I have plenty of memories of both good and bad relationships if I choose to think about them. If any of my former of future lovers do, I couldn't care less as it's not really my concern.

In the case of the OP, it probably wasn't cool going through his stuff and getting rid of pics and such, but the guy is in no position to be pissed off about it. A friend of mine burned all of her ex's stuff after finding out he cheated on her, and probably would have kicked his head in if he had anything to say about it. Your ex got off lightly, all things considered. Do what you can to remove him from your life, and you will be better off for it.

I know what I did was wrong, but I did tell the bf.
