Question about wedding photos for fellow divorcees

Wasn't really sure where to post this. If there's a better place feel free to point me to it Smile

My parents are having a clearout of their loft and Dsis and I have been politely nagged asked to do a stock-take of our stuff that's been festering up there and remove it. Amongst my things is an album of wedding photos. I've been divorced from my cheating nob-end XH for several years but didn't really know what to do with this rather expensive album that my DPs paid for, hence it ended up hidden away so I didn't have to decide. Now dad is nagging me to take it away and I've asked him for a little time to think about what I want to do with it.

Has anyone been in a similar situation and what did you do? There are some lovely photos of my family and friends in there and I was thinking it would be a shame to throw those ones away. I'd like to extract those photos somehow and keep them. Does that seem weird? I don't have any contact with XH (and no desire to) so can't ask him if he wants the photos of his family.

Just for context, I've been with my current DP for over five years. He knows of the album's existence and my thoughts about the family/friends photos. Doesn't seem to have an issue with my desire to keep them.

I have mine in a box in the garage with various other paraphernalia from the 10 years I was with my ex. It was a sad divorce, not an angry one and I don't hate him or loathe reminders of our time together. I think this is what lofts were invented for..

when i found out about my ex husband cheating on me and threw him out i got all the photos in the house and wrote on all the ones of him and me together words like liar, cheater and posted them through his letter box, yes it was petty of me and childish but by god at the time it made me feel better

I think I'm going for the 'skim through for photos of friends/relatives then bit it' option. Whilst trying not to look at any photos of nobhead.

Will need at least one glass of wine Smile

If I didn't have DCs I'd burn the photos.
