I think this will get more views here, so I didn't post it in "Breaking Up."
Here's the thing, I have about a dozen of my wedding pictures that I ran across today. Now that I'm moving out of my post-divorce apartment, I think I'm ready to toss them. What if I regret it? I don't think I will...but what if?
What have you done with old pics of you and your ex and did you regret it?

I kept them. It's part of my history, and I'm not bitter about it. If a picture of your ex makes you feel like you're looking at it thru a red veil, that'd be a whole nother thing.

Keep them, but put them away. If you throw them all out, some day, you will regret it.
When I left my ex, I did not take any of our photos, including the ones from our wedding. About six months later, my dad, who was my best man, died. I have to tell you that I really wish that I had a photo of the two of us, from that day.

Keep them...When you're 90 you'll look back and go.....WOWSA. They won't take up much room and they are paid for.

Just take them out of the frames/album, slip them into a manilla envelope and seal it (if you want)...and stuff it in the back of a file drawer or something. Those pics a "history" and while not all history ends up pleasant, it's still a part of you that's been recorded...besides, SOME day - a hundred years from now - you may want to take a peek and recall how hot you looked in that expensive dress

Keep them and hide them well, or else the next jealous boyfriend/husband/whatever will just destroy them in a fit of anger.
Always keep the nekked ones, no matter what. They are really hard to replace.

i have photos letters cards ect of all of my ex's. I dont keep all of them, but every so often i go back and think about that time in my life just as I would with old photos of friends and family...its memories i have created, however i have never had a real ugly break up so maybe thats a reason....i still get along with all of them well.

Well Di, if it were me, I'd toss 'em.
I don't know what the circumstances behind your divorce were, or if there's still any bad blood. I wouldn't want to be reminded of that in any way. Would you?

Thanks for the replies, guys. The pics have been in a box for nearly 2 years, so I think I'll just commit to another 2 years in the same box.
