Today, I found out that my husband has more topless pictures of his ex on his computer than he does of me. FML

He shouldn't have any of his ex topless! We're clear that's the real problem, right? Not who he has more of? Good. Just checking.

It's best if he doesn't have any pics of you nude, you never know what could happen with those pictures, but he shouldn't have her pictures if he's in a relationship with you

Maybe her accoutrements are more robustly than yours. Even if they are they shouldn't be there, so just tell him that you accidentally typed format c:

I think they're saying maybe the exes boobs are nicer but that shouldn't matter and he OP should format the boyfriends computer. .... which is still a ridiculous idea.

That means you aren't as much of a ****

Because sending pictures to someone you're in a relationship with makes you a ****...

Please keep us abreast of this situation.

While I dont intend to defend him, more isnt necessarily a lot or on purpose. If he has a stray from their dating days and none of you I'd say he should get a pass. Plus consider which of the two of you he's married.

On purpose? You don't really "accidentally" keep naked pictures of someone, especially an ex. It also isn't very respectful to keep nude pictures of a person you used to date when you're with/married to someone else. It makes it seem as if you prefer the ex, or are hiding something. I hate the term "well he still chose to marry you," as if it's supposed to count for something when a spouse is being disrespectful. It's often used when one spouse is doing something wrong that the other is uncomfortable with, trying to justify the wrongdoing with what is essentially, just a piece of paper.

What are you talking about? You can absolutely keep pictures on accident. It's not like you have to actively do anything to keep them.

It's very naive to say it's "just a piece of paper." That "paper" has a lot of implications and real life consequences.

So you're saying if the guy dated her and a stray file was misplaced on his computer - a single solitary file, and he was entirely unaware of it he is at fault still? Because if so I am going to have to call BS. It is very easy to lose track of files, I can attest. I just went through 140 GB of mp3s on my PC and found random documents and pictures as well as albums in the wrong artists directory. I didnnt say the guy is in the clear but suggested you all think about possibilities before crucifying the guy.

I am going to assume that the comments applauding him for having the pics or that there is no issues with him having them are men. How would you react if the roles were reversed and she had a bunch of dick pics from her ex? By your logic, it's over since she isn't dating him anymore and it's more exciting. I pray no woman is dating your pathetic self.

They probably have double standards though. I am sure they believe the reverse is not okay for women.

For me, it's more about privacy than judging someone for what they do or don't think. And you're right, consistency means I have to be ok with any pictures that my SO has too, but that doesn't mean I have to know about it.

Well that's fairly sexist of you... but I'll bet you consider it not so. I dont think anyone with a legitimate opinion is applauding him. I made an argument that it's easy to misplace files on a PC and if the guy had a single, solitary image it's likely he just didnt realize he even had it. OP didnt detail what "more" is. If he has 0 of her, one constitutes "more".

#99 OP said that he had more of his ex than her, it's safe to assume there was more than one picture of said ex.

#104, It isnt safe to assume anything, ever. Whether it's one or ten, it's still possible he didn't realize he had them still.

That's a good thing. Means he counts on being able to take more pics of you in years to come.

Invite her over and take pictures together. But in all seriousness, why are you already snooping on his computer???

It's a sign of his sensitivity that he still has them. He lacks it. The kind thing to do on both your parts is, if he's super-nostalgic and can't let go 100% (We've all been there) he could put them on a DVD and erase the ones that are on his computer. That way, when he's old and grey he can still have the memories, but they are not in your face. As far as you snooping on his computer and taking a tally... don't. I say this as a former snooper. Work on the relationship you have, make it worth putting the ex to one side. Having a hissy fit about it makes you look like a snoop and a nag and a drag, and yes, I'd still say that if the situation is reversed and you had the pics of the ex's.
