THE PHOTOS YOUR PARTNER WON’T BE SHOWING YOU

43 per cent of Brits keep photographs of former partners

Friends Reunited reveals that 21.6 million Brits have kept photographs of former partners as a reminder of special times or because they still have feelings for their exes.

The latest findings from Friends Reunited highlight that men may be hiding more from their partners than their other halves realise. One in five men (20%), in a current relationship who have photos of their ex partners, say they have kept photos of their ex hidden as they don’t think their new partner would approve, compared to only nine per cent of women.

Interestingly men seem to have more weighing on their conscience, as 17 per cent said they ‘sometimes feel guilty about keeping photos of their ex partners’, compared to just 11 per cent of their female counterparts. Although they may have good reason for feeling a secret guilt about the photos as more than one in ten men who keep photos of their ex partners (12%) admit they still have feelings for their ex, compared to only five percent of women!
