Pictures... OK Here's my situation
I've been reading a few posts about pics of BM's and am looking for some input on my íssue....
When we were renovating our living room I found a picture frame made from an old window that was a wedding gift for SO & ex. It was hidden behind the couch. Its a very very nice frame! However, in the frame are pictures from their wedding. I asked SO to get rid of the pics. He didn't have to throw them out if he wanted to keep them for SD8 but I would like them put somewhere that I can't see them. Our small reno took 2 weeks and in this time I continuous moved the frame with pics around to complete my painting. I was hoping by my numerous comments about putting the frame in the garage he would get the hint.
It has been 6 months since then and the frame and pictures are now behind OUR bed for safe keeping of the frame. Is it not weird that he didn't take the pics out??? Am I wrong to have anxiety about these pics now in our bedroom??
As I'm tying this I'm picturing me going home and cutting them out tonight!!!

Eeewwwww, damn those pics are
Eeewwwww, damn those pics are behind your bed?!?!?! That's creepy. I actually have 2 beautiful frames that do have pics of me & EXH in them. I keep meaning to get rid of the photos but I love the frames. The frames are however, under the stairs in a tiny storage closet. No one, not even Dh can see them.
Hell to the NO! That pic
Hell to the NO! That pic should be put away (for Skids later on down the line???) or tossed. I'd personally do away with the frame too, but that's just me.
No way in hell should it be anywhere near your bedroom much less your bed!
Cookiez, I just want to
Cookiez, I just want to gently play devil's advocate for a moment ...
You're going to have to tell him specifically that you don't want them behind the bed, because men in general do not think the same way we do. He is thinking, "she wanted them stored out of sight, and wow, here is a place where they are out of sight and not in the way. I'm a genius."
Any kind of symbolic weight that you are feeling concerning the bed and the bedroom? He's NOT acting on that. He's not even aware that you're feeling that.
So just kindly tell him that you'd prefer them out of the bedroom, or quietly move them to a safe place in the garage or a closet. No need to make a big deal of it.
"men in general do not think
"men in general do not think the same way we do." LOL I forgot all about that. Thanks for the input. We are doing the flooring in our bedroom this weekend. I think I will personally move the picture frame into the garage and be done with it!!!
Thanks for all the input. I appreciate it.
Pictures of BM in your
Pictures of BM in your bedroom, which is supposed to be your sanctuary, aren't appropriate. Definitely talk with himm about this and tell him that the pics of BM in the bedroom are a real mood killer for you. If he wants to keep them for your skids, he can put them with the other things he intends to give them at some point.
Ummm... If it was me I would
Ummm... If it was me I would take the photos out of the frame myself and put them in a box, shove it in a dark hole of a closet somewhere, label it "skids", and sell the damn frame at a garage sale for $1. Get that crap out of your bedroom. Yuck.
