To ask if what you think about taking a last photo before before breaking up?

[Flamingo8]

A last photo of us as a couple before everyone goes on their separate way? ie moving out.

Is it weird or is there something soothing about it?

obviously break up is amicable

Thoughts?

Why? You're not a couple if you've already split.

To me that’s a step weirder than photographing your dinner and putting it on the internet, but everyone’s different. I suppose I don’t see the need to document every moment. What is this photo for? And who is it for?

I don’t know… just something sentimental. Not to be posted anywhere and including something else on the photo that was very special for both of us

If you both want to do it, then do it. It’s harmless.

It’s a bit “look at me, the star in the movie of my life”.

If it's private then wgaf what anyone else thinks quite frankly...

Are you ok about the breakup, op?

No, I’m not… I don’t think either of us are, but it just had to happen

A bit strange to be honest.

I'm sorry, that's hard.

Pretty strange but obviously it's not hurting anyone so go ahead. Personally I would go through my recent pics and choose one of us on holidays or something to be the photo I'd remember us with. Isn't that better? One that was taken during happier times.

Wouldn't that just make you feel sad everytime you looked back at it?

It's not a photo from a happy time together before you broke up, it's a very sad photo, especially if you don't want the relationship to end

Eh why break up if you are both so sad face

It feels right to you, so do it. I'm baffled how asking people is going to do anything other than muddy the waters for you in this decision.
You know your relationship and what this moment means and how it has come about.
If it seems right to you then make it happen and don't be trying to explain it, some things your heart just knows and seeing it through other people's eyes just spoils it.

I haven’t looked at the photo… I reckon neither of us have.

i wanted this photo as it closes a period of difficult times. I don’t want to look at it but it’s an end of an era. We were together a very long time.

Agree with @PimpMyFridge . If it feels right, only you know.

I have quite a fondness for the ABBA song "When All is Said and Done" - "here's to us, one more toast, and then we'll pay the bill..."

Why have you split if neither of you wanted to?

If it's something you both want to do then why not. I think I would prefer to look back on older photos and remember the good times rather than the split, but each to their own. It's a shame you feel the need to break up if you both still feel so strongly, but relationships are complex and life isn't perfect. I hope you can both move on and find happiness in the future.

A bit weird, and more importantly not a happy memory.

What's the point in torturing yourself.

move on, live a happier life and don't look back. Life is far too short not to let go and move into a new era.

Sounds like the sort of thing an emotionally manipulative ex used to suggest, to keep me "on the hook' acting all tragic and mopey. All OK?

How and why? My first thought is how would you even take this picture? Would you stand stoically side by side like the couple in the American Gothic painting or pose faux still in love draped over each other pretending it's a photo from happier times? The mind boggles.

I think it's really weird but you have done it anyway so what does it matter what anyone thinks?
