Pic of the ex

Will that come across as nasty if you ask your fiance to show you the pic of his ex?

Re: Pic of the ex

He’ll probably show it but he might also compare you to her in the future. I feel it’s best not to ask this type of question, she’s an ex for a reason, right?

Re: Pic of the ex

The question, in and of itself, is not nasty. But it definitely carries the potential for triggering a nasty chain or reactions which include asking more questions about your partner’s past, becoming jealous/insecure, comparing yourself to ex, and bringing up ex in future arguments. Seriously, it’s bad enough when you’re dealing with a guy who won’t shut up about any of his x number of exes (and I’ve been there)…without seeking out all the details on your own.

Really…x number of exes..is this guy a pokemon master? He trying to catch em all…

Re: Pic of the ex

Yes. It’s better to be like this:

Re: Pic of the ex

Not nasty but too nosy.

Why would you like to see his Ex’s pic? You shouldnt even care about it. But if you are too curious then ask it in a way that can conceal the level of curiosity.

Logically speaking the guy shouldnt mind you showing the pic if he has one. Considering you two are aspiring for a very long term relationship.

:rotfl: Good one

Re: Pic of the ex

Low level question.

Re: Pic of the ex

Not nasty but weird. It would make you look very insecure and make it look like you’re looking to cause an argument. Nothing positive will come out of this.

Here is a cautionary tale from my friend pinkpoplin.

Pink asked for ex’s pic. :smokin:

He showed her her own pic. :wave: :teary1:

Back to le hunt for pinkpoplin.

Re: Pic of the ex

I wouldn’t ask for it. The past is just that. There’s no reason to bring it back into your present and your future. And no, it’s not nasty, just unnecessary.

Re: Pic of the ex

As a guy, if I ever have a lot of exes i wouldn’t mind showing their pics however why would a girl want to see that, it’s just gonna make her jealous.

Re: Pic of the ex

So I have a friend that happens to be a girl. I’ve known her since school days and she sometimes ask me about questions from a guys POV. So any ways, she sometimes shows me pictures of guys she’s talking too. Even though, I’m just her friend, I do after the fact, compare my self to these guys. Just to see where I am at in the “rishta market” per say.

With that being said, if a girl shows me a picture of her ex, I would automatically compare my self to him. And if they are insecure about anything (which they probably will be), this will only end badly. So, if you’re not insecure about yourself (it could be anything, height, eyes, hair, boobs, ass, career, fashion sense..whatever) you can look at the pic. But I would advise that you shouldn’t

Re: Pic of the ex

Once seen, you’ll never be able to unsee it- keep that in mind.

Re: Pic of the ex

I was once dating someone briefly before I met the one I really love right now. The person was alright, apart from the insecurity aspect. I didn’t even ask for it, but they would share pictures of them with their ex - even intimate ones in bed, with the two of them posing for a selfie. I thought it was the most weirdest thing ever. Why would I want to see what someone’s ex looks like. Like others have written in this thread, pangs of jealousy or competitiveness may arise, and it comes in the way of what could be a blossoming good relationship. I don’t want to know, because I don’t want to focus on the past. If the person is with me now and not someone else, then there’s a reason for it, why complicate things for no reason?

In my opinion if you ask someone to show them pictures of their ex, it just causes them to a) think about their ex again b) why do they have pictures of someone that they claim are their ex in their phone, email etc? c) why bring up the memories? d) even if the person does honour my request and show me the photo of their ex, it’ll cause them to look at the person’s photo again and this might stir up forgotten feelings or good memories e and lastly) why would I want to stay stuck in the past of a person, instead of getting to know them and moving ahead with what we both have in the present… what could be in the future?
