I know he took pictures of girlfriends he had before me because I've seen them. He still has them. Yet, unless I mention it, he never thinks of taking one of me.I always take pictures of people and objects because they are special to me or have a beauty that I want to remember. I use pictures to document my life. I cannot understand why he doesn't do this. He takes pictures of the kids and lots of scenic pictures but hardly ever any of me. He says he loves me and I believe he does but if I dropped dead today, he'd have very few photographs to look at of me.I'd love to know what others think or the picture taking habits of their significant others.

reader, anonymous, writes (29 July 2013): my husband is the same way. He loves taking pictures of mountains and his dog but never me. I have asked/complained many times and he told me that he thinks it is weird to take pictures of people by themselves BUT then I looked at some of his old pictures and he had pictures of his friends by themselves and his sister in law in a bikini and numerous pictures of his jerk brother. Obviously, he is full of it. He is willing to take pictures of the two of us together but he spends so much making sure the picture is perfect and criticizing my smile or me wearing sunglasses in the picture that I just won't do it anymore. I wish I would have thought about this more before I got married so I could have ended it. It was just a sign of his general insensitivity and uncaring way when it comes to our relationship and it sucks. I'm sure it shouldn't matter but it makes me wonder what he really thinks when he looks at me. I must be hideous.

Not everyone thinks of photos as a way to document their life.
They just see them at photos!
If you are taking it personally then TELL HIM. He obviously doesn't know it's hurting you he's just being dim.
Good Luck!! xx

Your husband probably took pictures of his ex when they were on holiday or at special events - normally a woman has to say to a man 'take a picture of me here' on holiday and things like that. I wouldn't read too much into it, it certainly doesn't mean that he doesn't see how attractive you are and it isn't a reflection of his feelings for you. Men, bless them, they do need to be told what to do sometimes (sorry any male readers!). Next time you are at a special event, or before you go for an evening out when you look good, make sure the camera has film in and ask someone to take a picture of the two of you together and put it somewhere prominent! xxx
