I guess everyone has his or her own two-cents on this one, and I am no different.
First, I wouldn't dream of asking my husband or a boyfriend to throw out something related to a previous relationship. I am nearly 60 years old, and I can truthfully state that this thought has never crossed my mind, despite having had a marriage and several very LTR. Bebop says it all on that one.
Second, I agee this is a red-flag. If she was snooping, it's time for you to set some boundaries. If you'd asked her to fetch something from the closet, and she stumbled across the photos, it was time to put them away, far away somewhere.
Look, my 15-year mate's photos were a mess, so I took the box, selected the best ones and arranged them chronologically to represent his life, so he could have a keepsake to remember all these important moments. I think it was one of the best gifts I ever gave him. These photos included those from a youthful and glamorous wedding -- something we never had.
I think this gf was just plain wrong and immature.
