Garbo Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 How big a deal is this for guys, or does it depend on the guy? I have a picture of him in a frame on my fridge. The picture is one from him, not one that I took. Around Christmas, he gave me the same picture in a Christmas ornament, which I didn't have a tree up but hung up anyway. He has taken maybe 2 pictures of me in the 5 mos. we've been together and I've taken about 10 of him. He does not have any pictures of me displayed in his home, although he has numerous pictures of his kids and one or 2 of other family members. Though this may sound petty, it makes me wonder where I stand sometimes. Now, I am 99.99% sure he does not see anyone else or have any other females over to his apt. I am with him most of the time, and if I'm not, he's up front of his whereabouts. Plus, I live in pretty close quarters from him. I do trust him too. Even if he were leading me on that I'm the only one, you'd think he'd put a picture of me up and then take it down if someone came over - this is if he were a scumbug. We have only one picture of us together and it's because it was my suggestion and asked someone to take it. What's up with this? He acts serious about me in every other way.
Saxis Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 I don't think it means anything. I can tell you I don't have a SO anymore, and she pretty much took all the pictures we had when she left, but they weren't really important to me. I have a few of family and I keep one of my daughter at work. Heck, I don't even own a camera anymore, unless you can count a cell phone! I'll bet if you had one framed and gave it as a gift, he would gladly display it though.
Art_Critic Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 You expect him to print and frame pictures of you or both of you and put them in his house ?.. no way... If you want pictures in his house you must frame them yourself and give them to him.. that is what most women will do to mark their territory or pee on their fire hydrant. Just pick one or two of you both together and frame it.. then give it to him.. he will display it proudly.. Most guys just don't do those type of things on their own
Author Garbo Posted January 18, 2008 Author Posted January 18, 2008 Really? Did I mention that he is very much into photography and regularly puts out pictures?
Art_Critic Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Really? Did I mention that he is very much into photography? Part of the company I own is a commercial photography studio and I have haver given any pictures of myself or us together to anyone... It would be easy for me too.. We have large format printers high quality printers all over here as well... The plumber almost always hates doing his own plumbing.. The landscaper normally has the worst yard in the neighborhood.. Go get a picture and frame it.. he will love it...
sb129 Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 So is my SO, but he isn't that into printing ones out of us... he is more interested in putting together an album of all our travels together. We have one pic of us together in our bedroom, and I put it up. Before we moved in together, he had a few pics of me on his laptop, but nothing prominently displayed.

BeautifulMystique Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Really? Did I mention that he is very much into photography? So is my cousin but it was his wife that persuaded him to take pictures of them and display it at home! I'd take one, frame it and wrap it up nicely and "here you go, darling. something for you to display at home!"

Author Garbo Posted January 18, 2008 Author Posted January 18, 2008 (edited) Okay, I'm convinced. I will give him a picture of me/us, nicely framed. Yes, I will mark my territory. Art Critic, one thing, though. Even though you own part of a photo studio, it doesn't sound like you display any pictures at all. My bf does display pictures at home. Like I said, he does take the time to print other pictures out and frame them. Just last night he was telling me about a picture of his kids that he was going to frame. Makes me feel a little bit like chopped liver. Edited January 18, 2008 by Garbo
