My Funny Picture

Is it weird that my boyfriend's ex girlfriend still has pictures of them together on facebook?

I am just used to more people getting rid of memories of former relationships or at least putting them away for themselves to reminisce. I don't have any problem with it, and I don't feel at all insecure since I've been with my boyfriend for almost 4 years and we're crazy for each other. But a few of my friends have mentioned how strange it is. I don't know if I should let them influence how I feel about it. Right now I don't particularly care, but I am now curious why she would indeed still have those pictures up publicly? Thanks for all the responses. Well, nothing I plan to do about anything haha I was just wondering if it was weird. They're not friends anymore and my boyfriend doesn't have any pictures of her. The pictures she has are of them hugging and stuff like that. Nothing criminal. But it is just the two of them all "couple-like." It bothers my friends more than it bothers me, I just never thought about it that way. Thanks for your input!

1. Really depends on the situation I guess, are they still friends? If not, then she's just holding onto the relationship they had. As long as your boyfriend doesn't have the pictures up, there's nothing you can do about it either way. My guess is she hasn't had a real serious, long lasting relationship since, or at least not one that made her forget about him and because of that she's still holding onto what she had with him
2. it depends, where they kissing or something?
3. Yes it us weird whether there friends or not. After for years they should be gone, its understandable to maybe keep one or two if others are in it but if its just those to then yes it us odd
4. The only scenarios where it wouldn't be weird is if there are friends/family in the photos or if the photos are of a special event, like traveling. If the photos are just of the two of them making faces in the bathroom mirror then yes, it's quite weird. So she's nuts, but what can you do? The psych ward will not commit her unless she's a danger to herself or others, so you're left with no option but to reply to your friends' comments on the matter as follows: "I know, isn't it sad? That poor girl!" Then change the subject.
5. It's weird. She must want him back or make you jealous :)
6. If you've been with him for 4 years, his ex still having photos of him seems a bit extreme. If it was months I would say maybe she's forgot to remove them but 4 years is a long time. Maybe she's not over him or are they still friends?
