If you've seen old photos of your OH, what did you think?

Did it affect how you view them now?

I'm in a new relationship. He's handsome Smile. We recently became FB friends and of course I had a look at his profile and there is a photo of him taken about 8 years ago and he was beautiful. I mean, I really fancy him how he is now but I absolutely would have fancied him if I'd met him sooner!

OTOH I was shown a photo of an ex when he was younger and he just looked like a thug. It put me right off him. Rightly so as it turned out as he still was one.

I met exDP when we were 20 - he was all long hair and beard and tattoos (still is at 32, the absolute bastard gets better with age Grin ) His best friend showed me a photo of him at 18...

My DH was 36 when we met. Like others on here, there's an age gap.

He was an ADORABLE child. In fact I keep a photo of him MIL gave me from when he was about 8 by my bed because he was sooooooo sweeeeeet.

Hideous in his 20s (the beard!). Glad he moved on from that before i met him.

It was his brain I fell in love with anyway. Although the green eyes helped....

The only photo I've seen of my dc is one where he's dressed as a woman for some charity event so it didn't really alter how I see him!

I am 43 and met my fiancé two years ago. He is gorgeous and he was gorgeous when he was younger!

I was at school with DH so not really a surprise but if I'm really honest they are a bit laughable - he was totally into the early 00s trend of bleached blond hair spiked up, baggy jeans and shirts with dragons and/or flames on them Grin

Plus he was absolutely tiny. I didn't start to think he was cute until after we left school.

But him as a child is adorable and it helps that DS2 is absolutely his image.
