Is it wrong to keep old dance photos?

Well, it’s not like you’re keeping penis photos. (The banger sisters movie)

Not weird I have sooo many I keep them in an old hat box/ memory box

Those are YOUR memories they brought to where you are today. Keep them.

I think it’s weird that your husband is so insecure about it that he’s asked you to throw them away

I would keep them. I have photos from every dance. I also have pictures from my first wedding, in case my kids want them someday.

No different than stashing them in a photo album. It’s not like u have them out flaunting them. It’s the memories made not necessarily the BOYS in the pictures. Seriously a ridiculous reason 2 be jealous. It would be different I’d u still talked 2 these guys and have ever given him an ounce of doubt.

Not weird at all.This is the past that lead you to today.

Not weird, it is your past and you are entitled to memories.

If it’s high school photos I really do not get the issue. You were a child lol. How can you be so insecure over photos of a high school child

Photos are memories, your memories. Don’t throw them out.

Does he also want you to throw all your photos from high school and college away? He’s being a bit precious and immature, you had a life before him, and that life is what made you the woman you are now.

Keep them. They make for fun pics to look at with your children when they’re older.

Absolutely not! Those are part of your past and should be kept tucked away and reminisced once in a while

I think it would be weird if you displayed them in your home or social media or whatever. But just holding onto high school memories? Not weird.

I say keep them! I still have old photos with past boyfriend because of the good memories. Those are my memories. Keep the pictures

No, those are memories from school and it’s completely fine.

Not weird, I have my prom pictures and such with me ex’s, it’s sentimental. My partner has seen them and never said anything negative either. Now any ex’s after that we’re more serious than a high school fling, I’ve gotten rid of their photos and would be hurt if I found out he was keeping pictures of his ex’s :woman_shrugging:t3:

Keep your memories and enjoy reminicing. Reassure your husband that it is not about the guy but about remembering who you were when you were younger. We all do this.

I burned my prom pictures with that I had of my oldest daughters dad and I after he left and he drove me to the point of attempting suicide. 8 years later, I wish I had kept at least photo to give to our daughter. Keep them, nothing wrong with holding on to good memories

Keep them for the kids. I have mine.

Not wrong at all! My man is the same way! But if you walk in my moms house she still has a pic of me and my friend up from prom and i still have my prom pic with my ex! (About 10 years ago too) Its memories! Like do they want us to throw out all the memory pics that have guys in it that isnt family? Lol

Keep them. And tell him to check his insecurities and jealousy

I say keep them,they’re memories of your childhood!! And get rid of your husband. Something so petty makes him seem so insecure. And we all know there’s NOTHING sexy about an insecure man!!!

I would save them at my moms. But really I do not agree with anyone. My husbands feelings are more important than the photos. And I know he had a ex that was a pain in the ass early in our relationship so I did not want to see pictures of her and him. If he kept them and I said it bothered me and he refused I’d feel like he still had feelings for her and it would bother me even more. So what if he’s insecure. How many women get mad when their man looks at another woman? Answer most of them. Want to know why? Insecurity. But it’s only ugly on men? I do not agree. Keep them if you want. But I’d put them where they are out of sight out of mind. Because how your husband feels should be important to you.

My fiance STILL has his military ball photos with his exes in boxes and I am not even bothered. So no, if you’re that insecure then maybe you need to negotiate your relationship or where your morals are. Memories are special.

No, it is not weird. We had senior albums that we filled with pictures and cards and letters. History. The past. I would never expect my husband to take the pictures of all the other girls in his book just because we are married and it has been how ever any years ago. I agree with you, they are your memories and I find it weird he may have been offended or upset. Hold your ground imo. Good luck to you!!

I would keep them they are your memories from school. I mean if you bring them out all the time and look at those specific pictures then I’d say there’s a problem. But if u haven’t seen the pictures in a long time and just brought them out and looked at all ur photos then I don’t see a problem with it. I have somewhere in a box a card my ex gave me and there’s a pic I kept that stuck in the envelope. The picture also has my family and my uncle who is gone now. So I have it still. Its memories. It was a good day. I saw it about 5 yrs ago or more and have no idea where it’s at just that I know I still have it somewhere. I could probably get rid of the card now that I’m married but I’m keeping the picture. So if I ever find it again I’ll get rid of the card. He shouldn’t be worried about a picture.

Why do some men think you shouldn’t have a past? (My ex was like that.)That’s all it is… the past. Keep the photos tucked away but keep them. Those are your memories.

I have pictures of me and other guys that I went to school and was involved with. We are all old married with children, some divorced and on marriage number 2 bit all happy with our out comes and no regrets. They are childhood memories and school memories

I still have old photos from prom and dances. Im 44. They aren’t going anywhere. They arent on my kiving room wall but put up with other old pics. Dide needs to grow up

Those are childhood memories!! Don’t throw them out!! You can’t replace those!! My ex wanted me to have my dad throw out my prom photos!! Smfh! Insecure Over my childhood…

I have an old shoe box of memories like this. I keep it hidden. I don’t bring it out but I am glad to have the memories. I will appreciate them when I am old.

Keep them. It’s a part of what made you who you are today. Put them in a scrapbook to show to you daughters and grand daughters. If your hubby gets mad tell him it’s pretty dumb to get jealous over pictures from high school

He must be pretty insecure if he wants you to throw away memories from the past.

It’s not weird at all unless you still have feelings for him, which you don’t. Your husband needs to stop being a baby and get over himself.

Not weird at all. I’d totally keep them. But I would definitely have a conversation with your husband about you keeping them. Calmly explain why you want to keep them and discuss why it clearly upsets him. Maybe there’s something there that needs talking about. Having a ‘screw him I’ll do what I want’ attitude isn’t going to help your marriage.

I mean I wouldn’t keep 99% of photos from an ex, but something like prom or homecoming photos I probably would keep. Id talk to hubby to find out why it bothers him so much and explain that that’s still your child/teenhood and you want to be able to show your children and what not.

Ok so I say keep them but also be considerate. Talk to your husband, bc if my husband was hanging on to old photos of his exes I would feel upset. He sees it as holding on to the ex not high school memories. Explain why and that how you would feel. Keep them somewhere y’all agree on. Some of us are insecure with ourselves and damaged from the past. Be gentle with your spouse unless he’s a jerk and you really do want out… then I’d be petty and put 8X10s on the wall

No it’s not weird to keep them. These were a part of your growing up life. They are just memories for you to share with children and grandchildren. My husband never ask me to throw any of my school pics away. I never wanted him to dispose if his either. His sister threw his senior homecoming pics in trash. I gathered them to keep for him. She couldn’t understand WHY??? Because they were his, it was his senior year of high school, it was memories he made growing up. Live life…Love life. Enjoy the simple memories as you grow old and age together. That was part of who you are today. I would definitely keep mine. Some folks need lots of prayers to relax and enjoy LIFE!!!

I don’t think it’s weird, you were in school, you married him he shouldn’t be worried about pictures of people from high school, those men have wife’s now or whatever the case, you chose him and he should feel confident in that

No way. It was a part of your life and your past. Keep them if you want to. They are still all memories.

Keep them!! They are memories about the dance. He’s very insecure if he wants you to throw them out.
