I'm going to throw it away, i guess i just don't get why he was so mad. i know all of us are entitled to our own feelings and opinions, but isn't he being a little over-sensitive?

reader, anonymous, writes (6 August 2008): Unless the 2 of you are nude in the photo, then I see no reason for you to throw it away. It is part of something that you remember, good or bad. It is part of your life and he should know that. I could understand that some sexual photo would be troubling, but if it is just a photo of the 2 of you with your arms around each other then you have every right to have it without him getting upset. I personally wish my wife and I had photos of us and our past girlfriends/boyfriends. I would like to remember mine and I would like to see what her's looked like, at least the ones who were important to each of us and that we have talked about and fondly remember.
Take louxxlouxx's advice on how to deal with it. My guess is that he would miss that picture in the future if the 2 of you are still together. My wife and I may not have been comfortable seeing pics of our past partners when we first started dating. If I remember correctly, we were both a bit uncomfortable seeing the other's past partners, as it happened a couple of times. Now we wish we could see both our's and the other's just to see what we would have been with all of these years.
