Old pictures of ex's

**MotoXracer** · 06-11-2007, 09:19 PM

What do you guys do with old pictures and stuff of ex's? When I broke up with my girl at the time, i threw most of her stuff away but the rest I just put in a box and forgot about it for a while. Well, i just looked through it and it just brings back old feelings which does nothing good for me. I can't bring myself to throw it in the trash but I can't keep it any more. what do you guys usually do?

**x_moe** · 06-11-2007, 09:27 PM

i never kept any pictures of my ex's, i burned them coz i hate it when they bring back old memories.

**Tapout** · 06-11-2007, 09:38 PM

keep just the nude ones to show your friends

**C_Bino** · 06-11-2007, 09:48 PM

Ditch them. I have been in the same boat, you HATE to throw em out but really looking at them does you NOTHING good at all. They are an ex for a reason, plus no future gf would want u havin those.

No point holdin on really. I know its hard but its best. I have had other people throw shit out for me before too. I just tell a friend, take this and get rid of it. Dont tell me what you do with it I just dont wanna see it.

**cold1** · 06-11-2007, 10:15 PM

Just toss em bro, in a week you wont even remember them. If you keep them you will never be able to forget.

**LawMan018** · 06-11-2007, 10:28 PM

I still have mine in a box hidden away... I'm just gonna keep em for awhile cause they remind me of a happy time with a woman I care about deeply... Ionno, I don't look at em and I don't get really sad cause I have moved on... If I don't develop a friendship with her again in the future then I plan on dumping them eventually...

**Polska** · 06-11-2007, 11:08 PM

I keep them all. I don't care what my current girlfriend thinks, they are memories and no matter whether good or bad, it's a reflection of my life and the people who were in it.

**bogus311** · 06-11-2007, 11:11 PM

Totally agree w/Polska It's good to reflect on you're past, and if your current gf is that much of a watchdog, u dont need her anyway...

**5ifthCitizen** · 06-11-2007, 11:32 PM

if we broke up on good terms i usually keep them bc then they're just like any other memory u want to keep. bad terms - get rid of everything immediately, it can be hard but eventually you'll forget you even had the things you threw away.

**Tony Bologna** · 06-11-2007, 11:49 PM

I've kept a couple of each (except the dumb mistakes) actually going all the way back to middle school any pic of a girl I had feelings for stays w/me but never really looked at the photo's just kept them in my dusty photo collection no big deal, if i did look at em just a sweet memory nothing more.

One exception tho is this one chick I gave my whole heart too and still stalk her on myspace page now and then I think I might pull some "There's something about Mary" sh!t on her one of these days... One of these days...

**PeteyK** · 06-11-2007, 11:53 PM

**Dobie-BOY** · 06-12-2007, 12:04 AM

PM me the nudes!!!!

**thetank** · 06-12-2007, 12:04 AM

aw mayyn..i thought this was gonna be a picture thread.
i have pics of x-girlfriends..but none of them really cut deep or anything..some nostalgic memories here and there but i havent really experienced any hardcore heartbreak or anything...my bro has been through some very rough break ups..he keeps all his shit tucked away in a box where he can look at it if he choses..however i dont think that box has been opened for a number of years, unless to put something new inside it.

I still have a picture of my ex in my wallet, carry it everyday.

**sorel_C** · 06-12-2007, 09:24 AM

If it doest do anything good, and just does bad for you, then why bother keep them,,, no doubt its hard getting rid of them, but its probably harder keeping them and dealing with all those mixed emotions,,,,, my 2 cents worth! (which aint worth sh*t)

Can we say "moving on"?
You know I'm kidding Muril, of course I know nothing of your circumstances.

-------------------

Seriously though, if relations have been completely severed, I agree with what's been said...RETIRE THEM!

-------------------

Not saying this is your case, and fortunately (knock on wood) I've had no need for them, but there is a proliferating number of 'Ex-Revenge' websites. Some of which are quite entertaining:

**Zipper** · 06-12-2007, 01:04 PM

I kept the before and after pics from her boob job and show them to everyone!

**gixxerboy1** · 06-12-2007, 04:24 PM

I keep them. Why not. I dont look at them everyday but there is alot of good memories. Vacations and things we did together.

**number twelve** · 06-12-2007, 04:39 PM

Here is something i did this weekend. Made me feel a little better. I had a lot more pics of us. She kept most of them and now they are gone. I wish i had more.

**operationgetbig** · 06-12-2007, 08:13 PM

I dont think so. I wouldn't throw out stuff from my ex. Just because we broke am i supposed to forgot those years existed? Oh the pics from my vacations i through them out because it was with my ex

That bs

**freakinhuge** · 06-12-2007, 08:37 PM

I usually keep them. I don't look at them, they are all in a box, but I would have a hard time throwing them away.

**Bojangles69** · 06-12-2007, 10:17 PM

Yep I agree with the "keep it" idealogy & the underlying fact that if you were hurt to such an extent that an image of your ex's face makes you sad.. you only give her more power by burning her photos cause your too weak yourself to appreciate something for what it simply was.. just a moment in time.
I say put them in a box somewhere deep in your closet. Occasionally I still run into pics of my ex's and I DO get sad buts it more because I miss that carefree time of my youth and being young, not so much really her/them.

So make sure you know the REAL reasons the pics bother you. And Id say try to save them.. once they're gone they're gone FOREVER.

This discludes slutty little tramp bitches who got drunk one night and hooked up with your best friend though, those you have my permission to burn, or tack to a wall and shoot with a pellet gun untill it crumbles like bread crumbs =]

**Timm1704** · 06-13-2007, 12:14 PM

Polska hit teh nail on the head. Its not like I look at them and feel any emotions really, it just reminds me of faces that i may otherwise forget. I have no intentions of throwing them out, but if I moved home and didnt remember to take them with me, I wouldnt give it a second thought

CAR SEAT?

See that's exactly what I mean. You never really know what someone else is going through. Keep taking it slow...you'll be fine!

Yeah, its a tough one for sure. Not gonna lie.

My desire to date around is so supressed its pathetic, but i dont care. Gives me more time to stay focused and train. It has been 6 months though, i thought about it the other day and couldn't believe it has been that long, it feels like it was a couple months ago. It is definately a rough one and even has me shocked that i am still dealing with it, but so be it.

**Panzerfaust** · 06-13-2007, 02:47 PM

But if the shit doesn't get better soon, i'm gonna pull a "Mike Dura" on craigslist.

It's always a bitch getting over a relationship...one thing that has always helped me is to listen to this old Marshall Tucker Band song, and if I had the chance I would play it for the soon to be ex before they left....I would let them think it was going to be a sentimental song, my way of saying F.U. without having to say it.

Marshall Tucker....
Now honey I've been a fool but a bigger fool
I can't remember when I've been
Just to open up my heart
And let you walk right in
Now there's one thing in this life
Ain't hard for me to do
That's as soon as I kiss the lips of another woman
I'm gonna forget all about you
So I don't want you to think

That you're the first one
To leave me out here on my own
No this ain't gonna be the first time
This ol' cowboy spent the night alone

Hope this helps, if not take a trip out here to California and we'll get someone to help you!!! J

ya know a prostitue is cheaper..
