I was showing my current boyfriend pictures of my exes and he seemed ... perturbed. I was showing him because I wanted to see pictures of his exes, just to get an idea of what he liked before me. I think he thinks less of me now ...

 

You really would have been better off to just ask to see his exes pictures and left your alone.

Hands up who thinks the OP is brave enough to come back

 

Lol, I already replied here (see second post)... exactly what more do you want me to say? I'm just not bringing it up to him anymore. Simple. I won't do it again, but I disagree about deleting and disconnecting from exes... There are nice memories there.

No, not anyone who mattered. And I've never done it early, it eventually comes about in passing (no pun intended); they are on the bookshelf in my living room.

 

I think the pics I have on the walls of all my prior pets are enough to give a guy a clue before we get to ashes.

 

My former MIL used to bring her brother out in his urn and put him on the coffee table, and we'd have tea (well, whiskey for me :eek:). Then FIL died and she did the same. I have to wonder if the dead are now outnumbering the living at her tea parties.

And this is why we can't have nice things.....:(

Good point, but keep the memories to yourself. And do consider saying sorry to your boyfriend.

All so wrong.

What was this about?

Bragging?

- Look what a catch you landed, I could have had anyone but I put up with nerdy old you... you should be grateful.

- Show me the pics of the "5"s you managed to attract before me, to make me feel better...

 

My first thought, exactly.

did you show him pics of their dic's also OP?

seriously, no man wants to see who has been all up in you.

Your boyfriend doesn't want to see pictures of your ex's. There's nothing you can say that's going to make that change. It sounds like you were trying to show him the caliber of guys that you used to be with and basically show off what you're capable of getting. Then when he wasn't impressed or wow'd, you got upset and want to push the issue further.

 

Sorry but you can't force your BF to feel threatened or less confident about himself if he doesn't want to. The fact that he allowed you to do this is weird in itself. "Hey.. Wanna see who I used to have sex with? Here's 5 guys.. What do you think?" That's nuts.

 

Your BF might not be as clasicly handsome as your ex's , but he got you didn't he? So he must have something to attract women. And now that he's dated you, he should feel confident going After girls with your same looks quality if you and him break up. So maybe you should focus less on what your ex BF look like and are doing and mkre on how to make the relationship you're in work
