Is it okay for me to be upset about my boyfriend and his EX's pics on Facebook? - Yellow - 02-28-2013 02:53 PM
My boyfriend still has pictures of him and his ex girlfriend on Facebook with captions like ''my gorgeous girl'' and worse still, ones of them kissing. I hate looking at them it is a constant reminder about how happy he was with her and I am evidently a very jealous person although I feel I can trust him with her.
I confronted him about the pictures and he replied: ''I don't want to go through and delete the photos, I don't want to look at them. You can delete them off my account if you like, I don't mind''.
I don't want to delete them and be a controlling girlfriend, I am fine with them hanging out as they are still good friends! I just don't want to look at the pics.
Why doesn't he want to delete the pictures himself? How can I remove them from Facebook, without doing it myself (they are on his account).
Thanks in advance!

he told you, he just doesn't want to go back and look at them.

you say you don't want to be a controlling girlfriend, yet you are telling him what to do - ie remove photos from his Facebook page and then when he won't do what you say, you want to try and remove them yourself
If you don't like them, then don't look at them - simples !
Everyone has a past - this guy included and the older you get, the more used to it you have to get!
OK, sorry to sound harsh, but all you can do, without making demands is tell your b/f that these photos hurt you and leave it to his conscience. I can agree, its a little insensitive of him to leave them on with the captions

He's getting something out of keeping the pictures up. It's disrespectful to you in any case. Ask the ex to remove them if he won't.

You are not being controlling at all, a proper boyfriend would of removed them before even getting with you. He should remove them and not you, by him saying he doesn't like looking at them why on earth would you keep something like that on your account. Me personally, I'd have deleted anything like that a week after ending it with the person I was with to get rid of the reminder. I do think he isn't thinking about your feelings in which he should, I'm easily pleased but even I would be angry if my boyfriend had them on his own account

If hes with you he should be over her but if he has said you can delete them do it. I would be horrified looking at them kissing as you are. It is not unreasonable or controlling
