I’ve been with DP nearly a year now and it’s the best relationship I’ve been in. He’s kind, loving, affectionate and just brilliant.
There’s one difference which I know isn’t a deal breaker and probably sounds so trivial on here but I don’t know whether it’s worth getting down about.
We recently went to Florence on a city break, our first proper holiday, we had such a wonderful time. However, I am, and always have been, someone who takes a lot of pictures. Not so much for social media, more for myself. In the past I have kept photo albums of holidays etc and I just love them.
DP is wildly different. He barely takes any photos, never gets his phone out. He says he lives in the moment and doesn’t feel the need to get his phone out, which I do admire. He never posts on social media either. I know this is true as he had 5 pictures on his instagram before me, and his Facebook profile picture is from 2014 😂
It’s just that I’ve had boyfriends in the past who have always taken loads of pictures of me during holidays, candid ones and selfies, for them to look at too. They’ve always posted the holiday on social media. I’ve always equated this to love, because I do the same. So I feel is my current DP isn’t getting the urge to take photos of me, I worry he doesn’t feel that.
Also, I then feel like a nuisance/annoying taking photos. DP said he wants me to be me, and would never stop me taking photos, and won’t find it annoying (although photoshoots of each other is where he draws the line lol!). He wants us to be ourselves and do what we want, and he loves me for who I am.
He said he’d never think it but I just feel worried about being annoying now. He also looks really awkward when I take pics of us lol.
Is this a bad sign that he doesn’t want to take pictures?
