Finally someone with sense, most people on finding their significant other with a large amount of photos of their ex which they'd hidden would be upset. I mean obviously the guy reacted in an immature way which he shouldn't have, he should have spoken to her but people do things they wouldn't normally when very upset. The whole dump him bandwagon is moronic quite frankly, they should sit down and discuss the matter like adults and see what the way forward is and resolve any misunderstandings. Though honestly she should have told him about the photos in the first place to prevent any misunderstandings and if he was a decent guy he wouldn't of had any problem with it and no issue would of occurred.

Well, maybe the asshole boyfriend should have talked to OP about the pictures instead of just tossing them. I also think there's more about the child's father than OP is saying. (In fact, i have to wonder if the child's father is dead.) Most of us have a past. Only an abusive schmuck gets jealous over someone who was in the past and doesn't seem to be trying to become the present again.

Then half the world must be an abusive shmuck? People get jealous quit whining about it and deal with it. If you ain't jealous a little maybe you don't care enough. He definitely reacted a bit extreme but I think he was right to upset. You don't see me with pictures of my exes in a box in my closet? Because I wouldn't put my girlfriend through that, how is that fair to her?

Did you miss the part where she was looking for pics from the day her child was born? It wasn't some huge stash of ex bf pics. There were pics of the ex, as well as the day the child was born, and who knows what else. Since it was supposed to be for the child when they grow up, it's most likely filled with a bunch of sentimental stuff that the kid would appreciate having some day.

You do not have any right to throw away or destroy your partners property. If you do, especially out of dumbass jealousy, rather than talking about it you are either abusive or way too immature for a relationship. She has every right to keep memories of A TIME IN HER LIFE, especially one that gave her a child! If you can't handle acting like a respectful adult, don't date!

Do the world a favor and never date a woman who already has a child. Your comment proves you are too immature to handle it.

77 depending on how long OP and her ex were together, that could be YEARS worth of memories that this asshat of a bf just trashed. I do not agree with one word you said. You are basically saying that if someone has a previous relationship then everything that they own that includes the ex needs to be trashed? Absolutely not! So by your logic then, I should destroy my prom pictures right? Because I'm standing next to my ex? Never mind the fact that in also standing with my deceased sister right? When I enter a new relationship I don't need to disclose every tiny detail about my past relationships either. OPs bf had absolutely no right to even touch OPs property without her permission, let alone throw anything in a dumpster. If OP wants to keep sentimental knick knacks or photos of her ex, that's her business, it's her possessions. Just because this guy started a relationship with OP does not give him the authority to control what OP owns. TL;DR: your vision on how a relationship should work is messed up and border line abusive. Please do the world a favor and be forever alone. The world does not need you to dictate your potential SOs life. Thanx.
