[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I threw everything out too. Those relationships ended for a reason and I didn't need to hang on to memories of them. I also thought it was respectful to DH.[/quote]

How is hanging onto a picture of someone that you once dated way back when disrespectful to your dh?

I actually don't have that many pictures of myself  from "back in the day".  Most of the ones that I do have picture me standing next to an old boyfriend.  I suppose I could keep those pics but take a pair of scissors and cut those old boyfriends out of those pictures as a sign of "respect" to dh?  Uh, no.   That would be kind of cray cray, doncha think?[/quote]

I don't hang on to much of anything, I'm not a "saver" and I can't stand having storage. I only save what's important to me. Those relationships were not ultimately important in the big scheme of things. I still have the memories, but I don't need physical keepsakes of them. I also don't care about having pictures of myself "back in the day". And I still have a lot of them, but they're with my friends and family - people who I'm still close with and who are still important parts of my life.

People are different, whatever. Not judging people for hanging on to them, just explaining why some people might feel differently. Several "keepers" seem a bit defensive though.

I would never throw someone else's pictures out. But I would expect my partner and best friend to be respectful of my feelings if I said they bothered me. If it's "no big deal", why hang on to them if it's hurting someone's feelings?[/quote]
