What do you do with pictures of old girlfriends or boyfriends?

Bin them.

As soon as something is over, I get rid of everything to do with that person. No point living in the past.

And yes, yes, I know. Some people will say "Ah but they meant something to you once."

Once. Not any more, otherwise you'd still be together.

I despise clutter, of both the physical and emotional kind.

Usually those pictures didn't survive the first post-breakup voodoo ceremony. I was too busy burning them or shoving them into dolls along with hair and fingernail clippings.

None of the above. I generally just toss them in the garbage.

I went for 'shred' because I tear everything up.

Keep them for blackmail purposes.

Guess

I toss the print ones and delete any digital ones. Many will say, 'but you may remain friends.' Yet, it's never happened for me.

I did burn some too. Anything personal... pictures, papers etc... I will shred before tossing. People have been known to pick through garbage in the city.

One of my exes bugged me for nearly a year with his "We can be friends," nonsense, and accused me of not being over him when I said no.

The answer's simple - I was over him, which is why I didn't need him in my life.

Friends? They're the people who don't hurt me. If someone's your ex, they're your ex for a reason.

I never stay in contact with any of my exes. Why the hell would I give them the honour of being in my life? My time's better spent on looking to the future and finding my next victim lover.

Of the exes who mattered, I am still in contact with two. We're friends on Facebook, chat occasionally by phone, and live hundreds of miles from one another. I have pictures of each of them, and they're tucked away in a photo album from back in the 1990s that I'll probably never even bother getting out of storage.

The rest? Yeah, let's go with that voodoo doll suggestion

I'm still in contact with #2 and #3, but I think any pictures I might have had of them were destroyed in a flood a few years back. And, no, that's not a euphemism for some sort of voodoo ritual. I'm talking actual heavy rain, storm drains backing up, floods.

#1?

I have photo albums in storage, too Not a ton of pictures, but an album or two that include holidays and trips, mainly. If they are in them, they're in them. No biggie.

I had one time where I'd ripped myself and my guy apart in one photo and put the pieces in an envelope. I opened it right back up to look at it again, and he was gone. Totally, 100% missing. I never did find the pieces of him!

I usually throw all of them out except for the best one, which I keep. I don't know why I do it, I guess for memory's sake.

I've kept all of mine. I look through them sometimes and reminisce.

Pictures? Heh. There are no pictures of old loves.

Now, that's not to say I have no pics of Ol' Boy. So if by some amazing transformation of some kind after 30+ years of marriage, we were to go our separate ways, they'd likely stay right where they are now 'cause I'm too old and tired to do the Voodoo dance anymore. I'd be realllllly surprised, though. We did it 'til death us do part, y'ken? 'Cause there ain't no other way outta this situation for either of us.

Explain why this photo was found on your computer, Ol' Bag:

Oh come on. Like you didn't know I was gonna do that.

... kinda creepy :-O

There is thing dealing with chicken blood, black candles and... nevermind.

I think a kick in the nuts and banging his best friend works much better.
