Picture This: He Has Photos of His Ex!
Dear Joey,
My boyfriend has framed photos of his ex-girlfriend in his house. The photos are all in a drawer, but it bothers me. I told him I didn’t want those photos in the house if we get married. He knows that the photos bother me, but he hasn’t done anything. We’ve been dating for two months. I’m certain he’s the one, but I want those photos gone. What should I do?
Stop opening that drawer! You’ve only been dating for 60 days. After six months of dating, your man should be invested in the relationship and want to put old photos in the garage, or even toss them in the trash on his own.
For now, please stop feeding your fears that you will lose your man. By pushing him to let go of his past, you may cause him to question your place in his future. Speaking of days ahead, it’s too soon to be talking about marriage. Slow down, sister. Yes, really. Slow down.
