Keep them. You’re allowed to have a past. You’re allowed to have memories and Momentos. Don’t let him pressure you because he’s insecure
It’s not weird. It’s your history. I would not throw away anything. They are momentos.
It’s up to you if you want those photos. I deleted all of my photos with ex’s .
I still have all mine. They are memories of the past. No one should tell anyone to throw away their past its who you are today that counts.

I keep mine cuz I look great. It’s fun to look back and see what you looked like as a youngin’.
Memories are good unless it threatens someone you love
He sounds insecure. He obviously won if y’all are married. There’s no reason for him to get jealous over old pictures.

Definitely do not throw them out. You will regret it. If he is that insecure about old photos maybe he is not the right person for you.

Keep if you want to. They are yours.
I deleted pics of me and my ex husband because of my ex and I regret it. My son always ask to see pics of his dad (ex husband) and I and I don’t have them.
Those are reminders of your youth. They are precious. Keep them.
My mom has all of my stuff. Not because I tried to hide them from my husband but because she wanted them.
Never ever ever destroy or dump photos! Their memories tell ur husband to grow up ye should be able to laugh at that stuff
Keep the photos. Ditch the controlling, insecure husband.

It isn’t weird, but I would toss them, out of respect for your husband’s Wishes. You don’t want to do anything that hurts him and your relationship as one. Why keep something that he might perceive as wishful remembering for you. Your loyalty is to him for life. (Speaking from a sixty year commitment to my husband before his death this year.)
Keep them, its not like you had married them and its old wedding photos. You were young (er) back then and I still have my old photos. No attachments to the people, the pictures will jog memories when I get older and may not remember much in detail . I would never go back, yet those were happy and simpler times and I love to reminisce.
What ever is important to you for whatever random reason…Hold onto it…
Keep, everyone has a past
Make photo albums and trash the rest.
Keep them!! He might not be around forever.
Keep them
Ignore him
It’s your high school memories to show your kids and their kids.
He sounds insecure
Definitely keep them it’s memories
I have soooo many pictures from my past with exes …. Like you no feelings just memories of graduation etc… there is nothing wrong in wanted to keep them
Nope. You are allowed to keep memories, timelines of your life.
Keep them. I kept mine. I’m still friends with my high-school ex; which my husband knows and is okay with. Pictures tell the story of our lives, I think they are important to keep.

I threw mine out without being asked. LoL
But if you don’t want to just box them up and stash them somewhere.
That should be your choice to throw them away
Pick your battles wisely
Not at all! Like you said those are your memories from before him. Your high school memories at that. I still have all mine and pictures with my child’s father for my child when he gets older I can show/let him have them.
Keep them. They are special memories of high school dances
Thank God my husband isn’t insecure.
My husband knows I have a past and respects it. He has a past as well.
It’s what made us become the people we are.

I have mine that are 16+ years old… I DID go to most dances with my husband lol but there are a few with exes. Just old memories of high school
Not weird to keep em. Itd be weird to display them tho.
Keep 'em! The asshole I went with never even gave me the pictures, just flat out ignored me every time I asked. Wish I had some as a memory even though he was an ass!

Keep your memories! It’s fun to look back and remedy the good ole days!!
Your husband is an insecure child. 
It’s part of your past, part of who you are. Why are you not allowed to keep photos from what are probably fun events from your childhood? He needs to get some help with his insecurities.
You’re not trying to keep random day to day pictures of you and an ex it’s literally a highschool memory. I have a few pictures of me and an ex because they’re vacation pictures but my boyfriend understands I’m not keeping them for my ex, I’m keeping them because the vacation was a nice memory (minus the ex who was a dick the whole time)
Keep your pictures
Nope I don’t think so they are your memories. He has a past to you can’t change that. I would keep them I have some from grade school.
I think you should keep them it’s just memories! I have my husbands JROTC ball pictures where he took two girls to the dance!
I’d keep them. It’s not like you’re putting them up and making him look at them everyday. Besides if anyone ever asks you “how did you dress to dances?” You could say “well I have the old photos in the garage!” Instead of trying to describe the outfits.
You are not wrong. I wish I still had old photos. Make sure u keep pictures because sometimes that’s all your have left for memories. Proms dances. Anything keep them it was all apart of ur growing.

Sounds like he’s got his own insecurity problems. It’s not your job to tip toe around them
Tell him to “grow up!” It’s the PAST!! I would never throw away my past photos for anyone.
They’re memories from your childhood. He can suck it.
If it’s just sitting around hidden in boxes, not being used, collecting dust, etc I’d toss it no matter what it was.
No it’s not, your children will want to see their mom all dressed up one day. It’s memories. My grandmother threw my prom pics away because of this, I’ll never have them to show my daughter and that pains me so much. Keep them, it’s not strange or weird.
Keep them
You’ll regret it if you get rid of them
I think it’s a good reminder with our own kids to make sure to get pictures of them solo as well as with their dates so they have them for later. You can always just scan these and Photoshop out the date or cut them out with scissors if it bothers him that much.
Memories are priceless, pictures are important I suggest keeping them. They are keepsakes.

I’m pretty sure I got rid of all of mine after the break up, but I’m pretty sure my husband’s prom pictures with his ex live in an album somewhere around here. I don’t mind at all.
Your children will cherish those pictures some day.
They are from high school, what happened in the past should stay there. If he is jealous of a picture from when you were a teenager that’s on him and he needs to think about why that is

If he’s not okay just keep them with a friend so you can peep at it. He’s jealous because he loves you. So sweet
I have all my old photos from semis and proms. There is nothing wrong with it in my opinion. My husband doesn’t mind. Him and I are together and he knows they are just my memories and no feelings. Your husband should just relax. I fully agree with you.

If it’s from school, yes keep them. Everyone has dance photos. School yearbooks, ect. One day maybe your kids would get a kick out of them when they go to their own dances. To act like people don’t have a past is immature. Now if it’s of a past wife, girlfriend that’s different inless you have kids together. That’s your child’s mother/ father and they might like to see pics of you both together. To show them that time in your life. A shoebox of pics for your kids isn’t hurting anyone. But school memories/ childhood… is completely normal. Time to be a adult.
Let old memories be just that old memories, no need for photos to help you remember. The past is the past and ex’s are ex’s for a reason. Don’t carry that negative with you into your future. I’m going to side with your husband and say get rid of them. Old pictures carry old energies that you don’t need in a happy home that you share with your now husband. Life is about making new memories with the people you love now.
You said it yourself they are just collecting dust in the garage anyways. You can’t take those photos with you when you leave this earth and someone is going to eventually throw them away, let that person be you.

I say keep them. People from our past are part of what shaped us to be who we are today. I even still have an entire box of all things from my previous marriage. It doesn’t bother my current husband a bit. I have photos, notes, cards, and stuffed animals from a variety of ex’s. They are all memories.

Keep them. As you grow older you can look back at your younger self. He shouldn’t be jealous of a picture of your high school years. Very childish.

It would depend on how it makes your mate feel. I have my prom pictures. I went to several proms. My husband and I are still friends with all of them. So for us it is not an issue. Also depends a bit too on the depth of the relationships. I was a virgin when I got married, so there was no feeling of rivalry for my husband towards any of my prom dates.
If your husband is that insecure probably best to let them go personally I would not bother me at all if my wife had some old pictures in fact I see them now and then but she is mine now and that to me is old counts
My husband and I both still have all pictures from b4 each other… we been together for 10 yrs and even had (still) a photo album of his relationship/wedding pictures for the kids… I seen no problem
They are your memories, so if you want too keep them then do it. Don’t let somebody else take that away from you.
If your husband isn’t secure enough in your marriage after all these years you have larger problems than wondering about old dance photos.
Keep them. Tuck them away somewhere. He will change his mind when he’s more mature. Old pictures are fun for your children and grandchildren to look at.
I would definitely keep them those are memories of your life.
No not weird that’s school memories and before you and husband
Give them to your mom or siblings they will hold on to them . But I have kept all my old photos because it was my life my husband has no problem with that
I say keep them. Even my fiance agrees. He should have to be bothered by that because its in the past and they were school events.
Not weird at all. Those photos are part of your history
Put photos into a scrapbook. Make them memories of you growing up! Be creative. Should be fun.

I only keep the most important one
No it’s highschool memories
Lol I wanted my ex to throw his out however he still talked to these girls. I am biased to your husband but that’s only cus my ex cheated with those girls from pics. Lol
The fact you “ found” them doesn’t mean that they meant that much to you in the first place. So why cause upset about something so trivial?
These are high school photos you cannot get back.
I would save them with my old photos and move on.
My mom still has hers that was like back from the 80s or something honestly I think it’s cool to do I wouldn’t that’s ur past it’s what got u to where u are now
Smh that’s ur past. There is nothing wrong with keeping pics. Hell, I have some of me an ex and our old crew. My hubby don’t give a shit.
