A male reader, anonymous, writes (3 October 2007):

hi, i agree with the other guys, likely he hasnt put thought to them, especially the file names! but, i would not recommend making him delete them. you should ask him to burn them to a disc before deleting them, if he wants to save them as memories.

i would be furious if my girlfriend asked me to throw away my photos. yes, it is the past, they should be taken off the walls, taken out of frames, and need to be put in the "past box in the attic"....but permanently is hard because who knows...you might not be there forever.

good luck, he shouldnt mind if you take the right approach.

lovejunkie agony auntAre you kidding me? Men in their 40's don't delete pictures of their exes, why would a guy who's 18-21? He's still in his prime and probably enjoys knowing he's had so many women already. Maybe you could ask him to move them to a thumb drive, or transfer them to a CD disc so you don't have to see them all the time. And then perhaps if you're relationship becomes "serious" (meaning engagement, or marriage) he should probably consider deleting them. Don't feel too bad, even women in their 40's hate stumbling onto those damn pictures of the ex-es!

rcn agony auntI would just ask him about them. There's a chance he just didn't think about it. I know when I start dating someone, I'm consumed in being with them, and not what clean up should be done.

Abacadaba agony auntChances are he hasnt put much thought into them, hence why he hasnt deleted them, i wouldnt worry about the names, unless he started adding new ones :P its one of the things boys do, save pictures of thier girlfriends or love interests. He proberly hasnt even looked at them since youve been together. and where you said 'but i just feel like i was one of lots that he liked' Well, they are pictures on his computer, you are his girlfriend. Think about it :)
