wedding photos

[annaspanna]

is it normal to keep your old wedding photos when you are divorced and in a new relationship??

although i am not divorced i would say yes. The person that they are today is made up of allt he experiences they have had in the past, both good and bad. they loved the person once. I still keep photos f my ex boyfriends despite having been marrid for 8 years

I agree with bednobs. Just because you're divorced doesn't mean you have to forget all those years of your life, you lived them with its ups and downs and a wedding day usually brings back lovely memories as all the family are around you. However, if someone had their wedding photo with partner displayed in the house after a divorce and if I was the new partner, I wouldn't like it too much.

I think keeping old wedding photos is fine - the pictures may contain family members or friends who are now deceased. Memories are maintained in different ways - my wife has some of her old wedding photos stored away - no problem.

I am divorced and still have my wedding photos in an album. I will keep them as my son will probably want to see them one day. They are also a part of who I am and the journey that I have travelled to this point. I would not however keep them displayed around the house, particularly if in a new relationship.

They're historical and for your progeny to decide.

Scan them to CD & upload to Facebook - as a root for children & extended family.

Yes......if you are fed up sometime and want a good laugh.....keep old wedding photographs they will not disappoint. LOL

i see no problem in it although i wouldnt have them on display or anything. I think there lovely reminders of a beautiful day, family members, and even how much that you were once in love at the time.

yes I have kept my wedding album (I think it's somewhere in the loft) but it is for my daughter and not myself. I have also kept my decree absolute for me to enjoy.....

I still have both my wedding albums. For various reasons. Photos and memories are always precious. At the time of a break-up or divorce, it is probably tempting to throw them away, but why not just put them away somewhere instead.

It would be disrespectful to a new spouse to have previous wedding photos on display or easily to hand, but to have them stored away is not an abhorrence or a sin.

My ex husband and i always swore that we would remain friends, just because we divorced didnt mean to say we regreted those shared experiences that despite all else bound us to each other and produced our child.

Neither of us hated each other, we merely had to accept that it was not to be.

Only now he has remarried a woman who is deeply jealous of other women, does he act as if i was of no meaning to him.......and it saddens me greatly.

I know he regrets having to do it, but in his usually selfish way says that he has no choice................. he would rather demean me ( and risk upsettng our daughter ) than deal with her issues and insecurities........................

So, i suppose my point is............... why should a divorced person not hve the pictures of their ex - they loved each other once, they have some good memories and possibly children together and why should they have to deny that ??

I have kept mine - purely because many of the people in the pictures are no longer with us.
