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.

Wow... Have you ever brought this up with him? I don't understand his picture taking of them and his lack thereof with you. Strange to say the least. I can completely understand your frustration. Wow. Does it bother you that he has kept those pictures all the while? I would honestly be annoyed.

It's fantastic that he seems to care about his children. I just can't understand, much as yourself, why he doesn't take many of you.
You take pictures of him, right? Hmm... Rather than asking him if he loves you, ask why he doesn't photograph you. Be direct. Good luck. :)

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
