So it's been a month now since I broke up with my ex bf. I have a new bf and he sees pictures of me and my ex on his facebook all the time ...it kinda bothers him...no wait it really bothers him and he asked me why my ex has those pictures up still and I told him I don't know. Well last night my ex text me about something I don't remember and I asked him to put the pictures down. He told me that he wouldn't and I quote "I don't care for your relationsips these are my pictures and I want to remember what we had" I don't care what he does in his private home but I just don't want to see pictures of us on facebook like it doesn't look cool. I don't know why he's acting like this, what can I do to have him at least put them in a private file or something?
make sure that you don't give false hope as to any reconciliation with him in the future
assure him that this just wasn't meant to be and theres somebody better out there that you're not the right girl for him and it's okay to move on
ask politely that he remove these pictures as you won't be getting back with him and it would ruin his chances of getting another girlfriend as girls wont want somebody thats hung up on their ex
lastly you have to speak to your current boyfriend and tell him that he has to understand that it's hard for your ex because it's only been a month let him know that you're with him now and thats all that matters
DangerNerd answered Friday March 25 2011, 2:54 am: As I recall, your situation goes like this:
You went on a "break" with your ex.
You immediately started dating another guy you knew from your childhood.
Your now ex said he would fight to get you back if you still loved him.
You gave him mixed messages, and posted several questions here asking complete strangers on the internet to tell you which heart to break.
Paid users can see past questions, but not the name or any identifying info on the account that asked them, so I went and read up on the story.
You have to remember something here. You dumped the guy, presumably after stringing him a long for a while. Now you want to tell him what to do with his life? Can you see where this is no longer any of your business?
I am amazed he still talks to you at all. He must have really loved you. Just remember, when the new guy breaks your heart, that this guy really did love you.
That is the way this usually goes. You think things will be better elsewhere, you find out it isn't true... and by then it is too late.
In the mean time, let him grieve. If the photos are part of his healing process, then let him heal in his own way. When he is done, he can be through with you forever.
I hope this works out well for you, but I do ask you one small favor:
No matter what happens, or how badly your new relationship ends... please leave your ex alone. Let him live a long happy life without you. Maybe when his heart heals he will find someone that actually cares about him. [ DangerNerd's advice column | Ask DangerNerd A Question ]

Your happy with your new boy,. and explain that too your new boy that you are completely content about being with him. Everyone has a past relationship with pictures. it is only natural.
But just move on.
You could also Untag yourself from these photos if it bothers you so much to see them,. Maybe even getting rid of his updates on your page?

The best thing that you can do in this situation is tell your new bf about everything and jus be open with him tell him that you told your ex to take the pictures down but he wont and if this guy is a nice guy then he will understand
