    My boyfriend and I have been together for a little over a year now. He still currently has pictures of his ex up on his Myspace (used to have more on his Facebook, but just took them down). They are not just pictures like they are ‘friends’. Its clear that they were in a relationship. There are no pictures of me up there and it hurts to see the pictures of both of them displayed for the entire world. I have told him in the past a handful of times that this bothers me, he always says that he will take them down, but still has not. He also says that he understands why its bothering me and that he doesnt think I am out of line. When we first started dating he admitted that he wasnt completely over his ex, but he has ‘hinted’ that now he is or pretty much is. I am at a loss for what all of this means and how I should feel about it and proceed. I was hoping that maybe you could help give me some advice and insight on what is going on.

    There’s an old saying: Actions speak louder than words. Your boyfriend is saying everything right, but his actions are contradicting his words when it comes to his ex-girlfriend. That’s why you’re confused. Your boyfriend says he’s going to take down his photos of he and his ex-girlfriend, but he doesn’t. He says he understands how you may feel badly seeing him and his ex-girlfriend on his website pages, but he doesn’t do anything about it to make you feel better. And the kicker is that he doesn’t have any photos of you on his site pages!

    The fact that he told you once he didn’t think he was over his ex-girlfriend is really the only thing he’s said that matches his actions of leaving his photos of the two of them up on his website pages in spite of dating you for a year.

    I know you want things to be different, but the truth is he isn’t over his ex. He’s going to say what he needs to say to you about the situation to keep you in the game, but he isn’t ready to get rid of her photos on his site, even though he knows they bother you and thinks it’s understandable for you to be bothered by them.

    One of the things I write about in my book, Think & Date Like A Man, which I’d recommend you get, is that when men are into you, they act like you’re their girlfriend. In other words, they bring you home to meet their families, they introduce you to their friends, and although I didn’t write it specifically in my book — they will put your photo up on their Facebook or MySpace pages to show the world that you belong to them.

    You’re not going to get your boyfriend to get rid of the ex-girlfriend’s pictures by demanding. You’ve already spelled it all out for him. In fact, if you do demand, it’s probably going to make him angry at you. My advice to you is to proceed with caution when it comes to him, and consider dating other men, because it’s been over a year with this guy who doesn’t seem to be making you feel secure in the relationship.
