If your spouse has a parent that passes away, and he/she goes through a stack of pics and selects a particularly attractive of the ex-spouse alone that is an 8x10 portrait, what would you think of he/she wanted to keep it?

Well I tend to be a bit possessive and jealous myself so I would probably have a melt down and make myself look stupid. On a positive thought, perhaps because it is a nice picture your spouse just wants to keep it for skids to have?

I would not let him express he wants to keep it - my hubby knows better than to ever say anything like that in front of me - and he knows even better not to try to keep it - because it would start the next fire we would build in the fireplace - right after I had my DD I found a whole box of pictures of ex's and I burned them all - no reason to keep them in my book!

I would ask ...Oh, is that for *stepkids*?
And if it was my DH it probably would be. Sometimes those pictures get lost and we come accross another copy and it is like finding gold for our kids.

Or you could say "OMG! She was so pretty! What on EARTH happened to her!"
