Getting married means starting a new life together leaving the past in the past. As you go through your things with your fiancé to combine households, you suddenly find out he keeps photos of his old girlfriends. He swears he never looks through the photos and just has them for sentimental value. For some couples this could be a huge red flag while for other couples pictures are just pictures. Hopefully, this is a chance for both of you to grow closer while talking about past relationships.
Sentimental Value
The past may be in the past, but we grow into the people we are today because of that journey. Your fiancé’s old girlfriends are just part of the journey. He might not even think to look into that box of photos, but if he does, there may be a reason. He may just feel nostalgic going through the photos seeing pictures of them in college or at a friend’s wedding. He may not really even “see” her in the photos, but feel the experience.
Back-Up Plan
Keeping old photos of his girlfriends could mean he has a back-up plan. He would probably never admit it, but that lingering “what might’ve been” might just be in the back of his mind if this doesn’t work out. You don’t want to think about it or even talk about it, but your mind is already reeling so it could be a thought. A fiancé with a track record of cheating isn’t to be trusted until those photos are thrown out and burned.
