Hi is it ok to have naked pictures of other people when you are in a long term relationship?

What do you think?
That's your answer.

In my relationships, that would not be ok.

Justmuddlingalong · 11/08/2017 17:21

If anyone knowingly does something that makes their partner feel uncomfortable, that is not ok.

SandyY2K · 11/08/2017 17:24

What's okay to some, is not okay to others. If it's not okay with you, don't accept it.

It's not okay to me

AreWeThereYet000 · 11/08/2017 17:28

Depends on the context of the photos - naked picture/sexy picture of a celeb, although not brilliant it's never going to happen so maybe just a bit of material for 'private time'

Naked photo of bob/sue from down the local Tesco that they've sent - totally not okay

user1466108618 · 11/08/2017 17:34

I dont think its ok. Was just wondering after something other half said.

I wouldn't be ok with is. Im completely realistic and understand that there will be women that my hubby finds attractive but naked pics is a step too far. It all depends on what you think is ok and also if your partner would be ok if you were doing the same thing.

TheNaze73 · 11/08/2017 18:11

I don't think it is

MidnightVelvetthe7th · 11/08/2017 18:13

For me it depends who it is, if its a celeb then I don;t care that much, if its an ex or someone that he/we know then yes it would be a problem.

Naked pics of strangers is pornography whereas someone you know is an affair/affair waiting to happen.

There's a lot of context missing from your post. Who are "other people?" When were the photos taken and by whom?

NormaNameChange · 11/08/2017 21:52

Context is everything. Is it ok? That depends on YOUR relationship with YOUR partner. The only people who can answer that are the two people involved. In most monogamous LTR it wouldnt be acceptable but there are many other relationship dynamics and in some of them it would be perfectly ok.

WhooooAmI24601 · 11/08/2017 21:58

For me, no. For others, it's their lookout and whatever works for them.

LoyaltyAndLobster · 11/08/2017 22:00

No it isn't!

Oysterbabe · 11/08/2017 22:17

It depends who the people in the pictures are.

Emboo19 · 11/08/2017 22:48

It's not ok for me.

So.....

My boyfriend of 3 years had a photo of his ex in his wallet (they were together for 10 years and have a child together) I knew the picture was in there as one time I spilt the contents of the wallet and saw it but I figured that it might have been there for long time and he didn't realise he still had it. God knows I've got some old crap in my purse I've long forgotten about. Today he cleared his wallet out, threw out all the old receipts etc. I looked and he's neatly placed the photo of the ex back in. I asked him and he said he doesn't know why he wanted to keep it. What would you guys think if you were me?

Nainer123 · 12/08/2017 00:28

morgan I would think he wasn't over her. Could think of no other reason as to why he would want to keep it. I personally think that's weird.

RoderickRules · 12/08/2017 07:35

A naked photo of anyone in your wallet is weird.
Can't imagine having a naked photo of my ex and father if my DC In my purse.

I'd think he was a bit off key.

InThisTogether · 12/08/2017 10:33

What do you mean by 'have' pictures? Where? On the phone? On a computer? On the wall?
Threads like this annoy me- op has a row with oh and then sticks up these 'I'm going to gain collective knowledge' without context or reply.
