Ask Tamara: She Wants Me to Throw Out Photos of My Ex

Rina Risper13 years ago05 mins

Dear Tamara:

My wife was cleaning out the attic and found a box with several photos I had of ex girlfriends and mementos from previous relationships. All of the photos and items are really old and have been in that box in the attic long before we got married and she moved in.

She is upset because I refused to throw them all away. She says that I am disrespecting her and our marriage by keeping them. She accused me of living in the past. I tried to explain to her that they were just old photos and memories from my past, long before she and I ever even met.

What if the traditional methods of working hard, cutting expenses and saving don’t work for you? Brown-bagging it every day won’t cause you to jump tracks and end up somewhere completely different.

Excuse me, are you listening? 11-7

Dear Readers,

Passion. Passion. Passion. I know that I have not been honest with myself. How many of us actually admit that we have issues? My issues are ones that I make up myself. Your issues are probably as negative as mine. How we may differ is that when I take a mental break I try to make sure I clock back in, in a timely manner. It is like being late from lunch. Even though you are only a few minutes late, you are still late! The guilt may last for an hour. Your coworkers may look at you as though you came back from lunch with mustard on your shirt. Your boss has the “silly rabbit you are late” look on her face.
