What’s your opinion of keeping photos of ex’s up on face book even though you are in a new relationship and have photos of your new partner up.

Yes. I don't share pics on facebook at all. My profile pic is a picture of a sunset. Can't be too careful.

I don't really see the issue with it, as long as you arent adding new ones with affectionate messages or something. I dont have any pictures with exs, but thats as I didn't have facebook before I got with gav so..god it really was ****ing ages ago :laugh:

yeah, where Google wants to know some personal information of you for security reasons, to monitor if there are hackers in your area

i don't trust Facebook at all, i myself don't have it, my mom though has a fb account (for family contacts)

Heh, dare I say, I think this is quite common in marriages :p

I meant affectionate captions of the ex though tbh. I have a friend who is now engaged and shes constantly posting pictures with exs (or just people she shagged) with flirty type messages, or saying 'miss the old old days' and stuff. God knows hw her girlfriend feels about it all, fairly sure that would make me feel really crappy :S

Nah, google stores your poersonal info including searches..so they can sell it IMO. Similar to to facebook scandal thing not long ago.

I know google does this, yet my default is google..annoys me sometimes.

I mean as far as I was aware, a unicorn is an attractive bisexual woman who wants to be the third member of a MFF Thrupple...

And in that case, yes I am, but also, yes very happily married :joker:. Not to brag though, I always feel bad because I think most people on here aren't even comfortably married, they're just sad and terminally alone :bawling:

It is sad, I'm not sure I could live my life that way but I know it's also hard to get out of relationships sometimes, even bad habits are hard to break


*Not suggesting Vicky needs to get out of her relationship. I was talking about marriages in general! :p

I think it would be very odd to have photos of an ex up, maybe as part of a pic with the kids or something but I wouldn't be happy about it personally, not that Mr C has has any photos of his ex's and would rather gnaw his right hand off than have a FB account :laugh:

Well yeah there's that too. Both of us deleted our Facebook accounts earlier this year. Awful things :hmph:.

That said I couldn't tell you whether or not there were pictures of her with her ex still on hers? She was in a long term relationship before we got together and Facebook was around back then for a bit. I can't say it would have bothered me? I mean we got together when we were 19 (her) and 21 (me) so it would be sort of weird to be insecure about a relationship she had in her teens :think:.

oh yeah I agree, but it they were previously in a serious relationship with the ex or with them for years or something, I think its a bit odd, like you wouldn't have a framed photo of your ex at home so why would you have it on your FB

Obviously the real answer here is that there's no "rules" about it and if everyone involved is comfortable then it's no one else's business :shrug:.

This is true. It totally depends on the relationships of all those involved and what the couples boundaries are

I don't post pictures on there with people, but if I did I wouldn't take my ex's down if I was with somebody else and I wouldn't expect them to either, it's like trying to erase your past :worry:

Depends on how the relationship ended I suppose, if it was bad, then why wouldn't you want to forget about it? and if he turned out to be a **** why would you want to be looking at photos of him? :laugh:

I see what you mean, but if I fell in love with someone and enjoyed our time together then I'd find it very difficult to be 'bitter' about it. I've experienced something a bit like this and yet we still occasionally message. :shrug: Probably depends on the people though, I know most people see it differently

No one is saying you have to be bitter but say for example, your b/f cheated on you or went off with your best friend, you might not enjoy looking at photos of him :laugh:

Possibly, idk it's hard to say not being in the situation but I think in time you probably wouldn't care anyway especially if you're with someone else

I've been together with my husband for over 20 years so fb wasn't even thought of then, meaning no pictures of ex's on there.

I guess it depends on the person, if the ex is still a good friend then I dont see it being a big deal really

thesheriff443
14-06-2019, 12:44 PM
Considering the majority of affairs are with someone in friends/family/ work circle, I’d say it truly depends on the people involved.

But how many times have you heard of someone sleeping with their ex.
