If BF and I were married, then pics would be a deal-breaker. But we weren't. He did go behind my back when he shouldn't have, but he didn't start seeing her (briefly) until he broke up with me.

He has said he has no intimate photos of her, and that was very important to me that he didn't. I'd be completely NOT okay with that. This was his one Europe trip and unfortunately a lot of the photos are with her or of her (I would expect) in various places.

He said he doesn't think anything romantically when he looks at them. He's cleaning the apt., he's going to get rid of the stuffed animal he bought her. I can understand his wanting photos - but NOT in my presence. Most of them are digital. A handful that I saw were not. I asked if maybe he can keep the Europe stuff in a box or something, I just don't want anything strewn about. I have pictures of myself and my ex-H, including at least one that is in a small frame. I don't plan to put it out, and BF has nothing framed of he and OW. That would not be okay with me either.

I wish that they had never happened. I'm glad they never ML - I think that may have been a deal breaker for me.

What I have been doing any chance I have is to get more pictures of * us *. I've been doing that for a while. Like when we went out with his mom to dinner and such - she always offers anyway. We should have a lot of pictures together if all goes as it is now.
