Old photo of my husband

I've been with my husband for 15 years soon, married for 8. We both had previous marriages and families but knew of each other some 25 years before it, through mutual friends.

I had to search through piles of old photos for my son recently and found a particular one, in many, of my husband from his previous married life. It was just him randomly standing in the kitchen. He was much younger and I found the photo really attractive. I put it away but somewhere I could easily access it to look at it.
I know its him, and I married him and love him deeply. This photo made me feel like I was being unfaithful to him, yet thrilled it is the same person. I've never felt like this before. We are both much older now and still very much in love. Am I just being a silly billy and just ogling and fantasising lost youth?

You're fine love!

I have a piccy of my husband about 30 when he was shearing full time and well fit.
He is 65 now and I love him to bits but I don't mind checking out that photo.

I'm confused about what the problem is...

Put it up on the wall in a nice frame so you can look at it every day.

Awww! That’s actually really cute! Enjoy the photo and don’t give it a single negative thought.

Haha! I have a photo of my husband taken on a road trip through the Med where he looks hot as hell. shaved head, fierce tan, fuck-you look in his eye. He was much older by the time I met him - receding hairline and spreading middle. I asked, jokingly, "why couldn't I have met you back then?!" and he said he wasn't as nice a person back then. (Plus, I would have been about 11 years old). I'm happy I got the best of him when the time was right.

I'm the opposite. I found a photo of me from about 10/15 years ago, when I first thought I was fat (gained 30kg since ffs) and showed it to DH. He looked for a good few mins like it was of a friend that had died and was like "stunning".

Should probably seriously start dieting now 🤣 but I'm not sure what I can do about the wrinkles. It's been a tough 10 years. 🤣
