writes:I've been dating this guy for about 5months now and our relationship has turned sort of sour because I've been too needy and I am totally aware of the fact. Im too insecure and Im always wanting reassurance however i think this has started because of one main reason...His ex-gf. He's apparently completely over her but he cant help but replying her texts because since he broke up with her she has become depressed and was attempting suicide at one stage. They broke up over a year ago now. I'm fine with the fact that he's obviously trying to help her from killing herself but I have a problem with him still having photos of her on facebook of them while they were still together. There's even one of them kissing which makes me totally sick. Up until recently there was still a photo of them up in his room alongside various other things he had kept from that past which reminded him of good times and fun memories in the past.I've talked to him about this and how it upsets me Ive asked him why he needs to have them still up on facebook. He tells me they're just recollections of memories and its part of his past and there is no harm in having them there. He actually refused to take them down.My question is am I being too jealous of him still having photos of him and his ex on facebook. (its not just one.. theres about 30 or so) I think that if i can get over this jealous and insecure feeling then I can stop being so needy.

I have had this conversation with my boyfriend - he said exactly the same thing. I am still not particularly happy about the photos but I understand why he wants to keep them.If you trust your boyfriend, you have nothing to worry about and you should relax. If you don't trust him, you need to talk to him and try to understand why.

 It depends. As long as they aren't his profile pic or something like that, I don't really see the harm. It can suck to be reminded of his past, but really, pictures there or not, it doesn't change anything.
