My Funny Picture

Would it be weird to make a scrapbook of me and my ex?

He was my first love and we were together about a year and a half. It's been over 3 months since we broke up, and I'm to the point where it's nice to look at them once in a while as a reminder of the good times we had (as apposed to when it made me sick to see his face). I don't want to get rid of the pictures because it feels like a little chapter in my life, but I don't want them just lying around either so I was thinking of making a little memory scrap book, and it would all be composed in one place for me to look back on one day. There is no chance of us getting back together, and I am with a great guy now who I adore more than anything. What do you think? I meant an album...sorry. I didn't mean a scrapbook with little stickers.

1. yes. def.
2. VERY weird. ooooooh,you meant an album,not a scrapbook,yea,still weird. It's cool how the people that tell you what you wanna hear get the thumbs up....lol
3. ask your new boyfriend. what if he gets jealous?
4. Ya! Do it!
5. i know what you mean about the first love thing but you shouldn't make a scrapbook of it. your new and future lovers will not appreciate it and there's no point in wasting that time making one
6. it does sound really weird, but if i understand that he was special to you; so if it'll help you cope and get over him for good then i don't see why not.. i think i'd just stick the pictures in a shoebox under my bed :)
7. no just dont show it to your new guy
8. It's not weird but I wouldn't leave it somewhere your boyfriend could find it.
9. you should just focus on enjoying your new man. why dont you just put the photos in an album. a scrapbook is a little much
10. in my opinion how would you feel if your new boyfriend found those pics...i tink he wouldnt be so happy....my best advice to you would be to get rid of the pics because if you truely did moved on than by saving those pictures you would only hold memories that will hurt you and you'll begin to miss him so yea i tink you should get rid of them and move on.
11. very weird. if i was your current boyfriend, it would make me kind of uncomfortable knowing you're making a scrap book with your old bf... You miss him. Either break up with your current and try to get back together with your previous. or move on. sorry to be blunt =\
12. i guess it would be okay if you were trying to let go..but maybe you want to do it cause you havnt fully let go..but just remember if you make this scrap book and the new boyfriend finds it he will think that your still in love with him so if you were to do this id be honest with him if you were to make it..
13. ehhh....that is a 'iffy' situation. Its always nice to remember the good times in life but I am not so sure. How would u feel if your guy did the same thing with his ex? If you do this I think you could make your guy jealous and offended.
14. Years down the road, wouldn't you like to be able to find that somewhere when something triggers your memory of him? I say make it, but maybe not all about him. Make it about that time of your life, with things from your friends and your family in there too. Surely you'll want to remember that stuff too when you're feeling nostalgic. My first love and I had a very bad break up. I'm engaged with my second love, and I still have a necklace that my first love gave me. My fiance understands that the first one was a big step in my life and that the necklace is a reminder (and I love the necklace regardless of how I got it) of the good ol' times.
15. don't go as far as making a scrapbook, especially if you're with someone else now. Keep them in a safe place like in a memory box or in a file folder to look back on someday.
16. well i must be weird lol, because i dont think there is anything wrong with it, u have the pictures around anyway so whats the difference if they are scrap booked. and your first love IS a chapter in your life like u said, and you dont have to show it to people it can be for you, that person will always hold a special place in your heart, i say why the hell not.
17. to my impression, you didnt moved on...whats the point of remembering those moments?.. but since you told me that you just wanna do it coz you feel it as a little chapter on your life, then its okay as long as you know by yourself that you dont love him anymore and just see him as a part of your past...
18. Do just that don't throw any pictures in the bin. Make one for each b/f or g/f you may have in the future. It's great fun later in life, when you are 40, 50, 60, 70,etc. I didn't keep a single picture and I regret it.
19. I like the scrapbook idea, but I would save it for a couple years down the road. Put the photos in a special place for now, and see if you feel the same way about the idea a while from now.
