There is nothing wrong with him having memories. If he is talking about her non-stop, has her picture as a screen saver and he just recently split with her, that is a scenerio where he may not be over her yet and they may not have finished things. Otherwise, it is HIS computer and HIS photos. You should not be going through it. Of course a person who has been deeply in love with someone and shared a life with them wants to keep memories. Sounds controlling on your part. Or you are very young or have not been in a serious relationship. Newsflash. You always have that person in your heart. It is a special bond.

Do you have photos of your ex? My husband was married before and had a child....should I tell him to delete all photos as well? I dated someone for over 10 years and I would not get rid of photos, they were a big part of my life, just can’t delete it. Sorry you feel insecure but the past is the past...let it go, it’s not a big deal really

They’re his photos, not yours. He can keep them and you can pull your pants up and get over it.

Grow up.

I deleted all photos with a certain ex just to signify that I was totally over him, and years after, I regret it. Not because I miss him (I don’t at all), but because it was a documented chapter of my life.

If he’s not giving you any other reason to think he’s not 100% over that relationship, I’d let it go.

My mom still has pictures of my biological father which is her second husband, and she still has pictures of her first husband (who was a cheater and ran off) as well with my half brothers, and sister. She also has pictures of my aunts, my uncles, and my cousins on my father's side. She left my father, but still kept all the pictures. He had his good qualities, and she loved him (I speak past tense because he is now passed away), but he had some really bad qualities when he drank, and he couldn't get his drinking under control so she had to leave. She then married my stepfather whom she also loves, but not in the same way she loved my father since they are completely different people. I don't know how much experience you have had in previous relationships, or how much a part of your life your previous partners were, but it's okay to carry mementos of your past.
Your past, and all your interactions with whomever has shaped your life, and has helped define who you are today, and with whom you are with today. My advice is, don't worry so much about your partner's past. Your partner's past relationships reminds, and guides them of who they are within their relationship with you. What they did right in their last relationship, they will do again with you. What they did wrong in the last one, they will avoid it or get it right with you. Even if part of them always loves some part of the person they were once with, doesn't mean that they don't love you for who you are, as opposed to the person they were previously with.

everyone?

You need to comfortable with this.
When I got married my wife had invited 2 exs that were long term relationships to our wedding.
They have married raised their families and are still good family friends.
Be comfortable with the fact you have them and the exs are juat that...exs.

Blowing dead dogs was just a silly fad from college
