[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My niece's BF graduated grad school today. She graduated an year early as he took a gap year. BF's family was very nice but didn't include her in any family pics.

It was odd and rude as they are very committed to each other, rent a condo together, moving to same town for jobs and planning a future together. She clearly felt awkward, BF being a men was clueless.

Obviously people avoid adding anyone to family pics until married but one can always take some extra ones. Its surprisingly how thoughtless people can be and then they question why DIL keeps her distance.

They probably won’t last, while the images will. Prudent on the part of the family.[/quote]

Pictures are to capture present, not predict future.[/quote]

This is how I view it.

My then boyfriend is in the family pictures from my brothers wedding. We were living together at the time, spent holidays together… it would have been so strange to exclude him.

We broke up a few years after the wedding (20+ years ago) but he’s still in a framed wedding photo on the wall in my brothers house.

Know who else is in that photo? The bridesmaids my SIL hasn’t spoken to in probably 15 years, because life is like that. [/quote]
