Boyfriend hasn't taken a single photo of me on holiday

[Greenplums]

I've been abroad on holiday for a week with my boyfriend. Is it a bit weird that he hasn't taken a single photo of me?

Mine is the opposite, always takes photos of me and our son (who hates it, he's 17!). May be something to do with the fact that we both lost our parents young and have fewer photos of them. Tbf I just go with the flow and don't analyse it too much.

My DPs phone is full of pictures of cars and cats.

We went on holiday in April, and he took pictures of cars and cats.

He too prefers memories over photos.

How old is your boyfriend OP?

I think there is a certain age bracket who were in their 20s and camera phones weren't around (so 40 odd now) and just weren't exposed to how easy it has become to take photos now so it just doesnt occur to them to do it and those who are quite young and have that invincible feeling of youth that they'll never get old and their memories will be as fresh as the day it happened

Have you asked him to take your picture?

My DH is like this. I have to be quite assertive and make sure he takes some of me!

My DP would never even think to take pictures.
I have to ask if I want a picture with DD.
He's useless

We rarely take photos on holiday. If my husband does, its because he’s been prompted and usually of the dog.

I’m currently on hols with DH neither of us have taken a photo of anything.

How old is he?
Have you ever asked him to take your photo?
What’s he like in general? Do you get enough love and attention?

In ten years, the only photos my husband has taken of me have been when he's pulling a stupid face and wants me to pull one too.

He has a good archive of ridiculous photos on whatever device he's using at the time.

I dread to think what'd happen if I went missing. "Do you have a recent picture of your wife we can circulate Mr December?" Erm....

The other thing in his gallery is pictures of our dogs. Probably triple, quadruple the amount of us pulling faces.

On holidays and days out, I take lots of the place, views, have, us together. He doesn't really take any. Probably one photo to my 100!

He doesn't use social media either, beyond retweeting the odd thing on twitter. Whereas I love putting my photos on Instagram and looking back at them later. That might be the difference.

I've been with my partner almost 4 years and he's never taken a photo of me without me asking him! It's just a man thing, most don't see the need to photograph things. If it's important to you, just ask him

I wouldn't read into tbh.

I don't even take my phone out and about on holiday. I keep it in the safe. I don't take a bag out so it's really annoying.

And then I ask DH to take about 40 pics of the DC a night 😁

My DH (of 41 years) is the same. Almost all of our holiday photos are taken by me, so there are very few that have me in them. If I didn't specifically instruct him to take a photo now and then, there would be none!
I literally have to stop, hand him my phone (if he took it on his own phone, I would never get to see it) and say specific instructions, such as "please take a photo of me with this view (waterfall, windmill, cathedral, landscape or whatever) in the background. I then check to make sure that it's not blurry and hasn't got his thumb over the lens!

I'm classed as very attractive band slim and my OH doesn't feel the need to always take pics.

Some men are happy and don't feel the need to show off

Work on your self esteem. live for the moment not the social media response.

Just a shame I got sausage fingers when typing slyly at work haha

Cant have it all ;)

I don't think my husband has ever taken a photo of me. We met 16 years ago
