Do Scorpios tend to have sentimental attachments..

Do Scorpios tend to have sentimal attachments to things such as old photos and memoirs of past relationships? Recently ran across a bunch of pics of my Scorp's ex mixed in with other pictures...haven't asked him about them because I don't want to make a big deal of it. I must admit a slight pang of jealousy did hit me. I was just curious as to what others think of this, and if they've had a similar situation with their current squeeze still storing pics of their ex?

Thoughts??

I am soooooooooooooo NOT sentimental..I hate all that bollocks!

I know I can be a bit sentimental; and I still have pictures of my ex...I don't love him anywhere, nor do I want to get back with him. I guess I keep them as memories, because they were good at one point.
Him & this girl did not end on bad terms...in fact, they still speak every now and then. He says that he has no problems speaking to his exes if they didn't end on bad terms.
I know that some of these pictures represent a better time for him because his son was still here....his son no longer lives in the area, lives in Texas now. And, some of these pictures are of her and his son.

*anywhere = anymore LOL

rockchick, have you held onto old pics of ALL relationships or just a specific ex?

Greatbull,
What's funny is that his ex is a cancer and these are HER pics...I don't know why she never took them.

I think that's a mature way of looking at it, rockchick. Personally, me and my ex (another Scorp, coincidentally) did not end on good terms...it was bitter on his side, but not mine - so we don't speak. We had 8 memorable years together, where I felt like I grew ALOT, and I've never seen the need to throw away that huge part of my life. I've moved on, and although a part of him will always be in my heart, I don't hold anything against him. I still have pics of us together, but I don't see as if I can't let go....I have.

antibling,
well that's what I thought at first...but then I do the same thing (have photos of my ex) and it's not that I don't want to let go. They represent good memories for me; to be honest I don't look at them unless I go in my photo box for something.

I like to hold on to alot of things for sentimental value. I'm not a packrat, but I think it's good to go back memory lane and reminisce. It's good to remember how you felt at certain times in your life. Like keeping your cast from the time you broke a leg. You remember the pain and hurt you went through. Or the first stuffed animal a guy won for you at the carnival. You remember the sweet feelings of the fun you shared. I do keep a few old pics around. Just to remember the feelings I went through, not necessarily to remember the affair.

I don't think I'm sentimental but I do keep pics of my ex's. Just keep 'em in a storage space full of other old stuff.

But I did find some old pics of my bf's ex too (he's a cancer but I don't think he's sentimental, just hadn't looked into his old stuff) Anyway, aaaaaaargggh, I minded only a little bit... jusssssst a little bit 🙂

Thing is that it was his cousin snooping through his stuff, I was distracted doing something else. I heard his cousin say something like "Oh hey, is this when you went to _?" Through the corner of my eye I detected some movement from him (I'm pretty sure he was waving for him to shut up and hide the pics cuz he knowsssss my reaction) and a couple seconds delayed response. Well I didn't want to alert him so I didn't react on it, I just turned back casually, saw nothing (he obviously put them back) and returned to what I was doing.

I later took them when he wasn't around. We were going on a trip so about 4 hours into the drive I took them out and started flipping through them calmly. He didn't say ANYTHING. When I was done I arranged them neatly, lowered the window and threw them out! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh! He was like "What did you throw out?" looking kinda mad... I said 'nothing' and turned to look out the window again. Bet his cousin felt akward LOL We never mentioned it again. Yeah I know that was wrong, because I shouldn't be messing with his stuff but but but... Anyway, that was seriously the best I could have done with that because I sooooo wanted to take those pics to his ex personally with a few new ones of us and say "Just returning some of your stuff... oh and here's and UPDATE lol" maaaaan I should off I should off I should off! But he's already complained that I need to control myself so I didn't really wanna add on to the list. But no one touches my pics!

?Anyway, aaaaaaargggh, I minded only a little bit... jusssssst a little bit?

And you threw your boy?s photos out of the car window—? Dude, Tauruschic, this would be grounds for me to end a relationship with anyone, how can you do that to someone else?s things, not matter what they are. My husband, soon to be ex, still has photos of/with his ex. I never minded! He never minded my ex photos either. I really don?t get the point here. What?s with you people, being jealous of the fact that people keep photos of people from their past? IT?S THEIR PAST and you have nothing to do with it. You?re in their present, and hopefully, if you don?t keep throwing their things out of the window, will be in their future too. Sorry if this sound too much like a morality lesson, I can?t help it.

Don't mind since you're right. It kinda bothered me that I did what I, myself, consider to be wrong BUT shit I HATE that bitch. She caused problems between us because she wanted him back... well on my part, I should have been a bit smarter about reacting so impulsively and letting myself be affected by her shit! Anyway, things cleared, but I do not want to see or know of anything related to her in that house. If there's more stuff I better not see it. Other girls I do not care for. And either way I don't look into anyones stuff.

I think that at the time he was a little pissed off, but I felt like other than because (obviously) it was his stuff it was also because he feels that I shouldn't be so jealous. Instead of saying it out load because his cousin was there, he just sent me a text that said that he wouldn't let me ruin the trip. Guess he thought I'd make a big deal or something but I had nothing to say and didn't care anymore. That was forever ago, we had fun and have never addressed it nor will we.

"Other girls I do not care for."

-- God what am I thinking?! Ah HA HA HA HA HAHA! *laughing at myself* 😛

Depends on the guy actually, I don't think my bf is sentimental so therefore I do not expect to find old pics neatly stored in a little box. Yes, that would bother me. I wouldn't mind as much if they're thrown about old stuff and papers he's forgotten about. But if he was as sentimental as my last crabby, I would soooo understand... that cutezy lil' teddy lol "But really it's ok teddy, just put them away where I can't see them k? 🙂" Such a big softy hehehee

I have pics of both my ex's and a few of guys I dated,they don't mean much to me honestly.Looking at them now I only see friends for a couple of them and people from my past,a part of my life in them comparitive to yearbook photos.I still have pics of dogs,cats,birds,etc. that were pets when I was little but I can't even remember them now and people(black&white ancesters mainly) in my family I never met,views it as a story of my life type thing kind of and where I comes from.Throwing them away won't change the fact that I was once with them and doesn't change the fact that life is still going past that timeframe...they're only material and its only sentimental when the person wants it to be.Good for the kids also if I ever have them too,theres thousands of somewhat "lost souls" in this country cause thier parents never gave them a history of themselves and they came from.So they have to hire people to find info on thier family histories,etc.

My b/f had an old stuffed animal that his ex gave him. She had written on the little tag I love you blah blah. I let him keep it. Excuse me, I ALLOWED him to keep it around. He kept it in plain sight. Then he went back home to visit. He called me from a bar and said a big group of them are playing pool, and he got paired up with his ex. I didn't like that!

Needless to say, when he came home the stuffed animal was hanging on the wall. With a knife!

(he threw it away)

lol...yup,one action can make for alot less annoyance of conversations....but not going into those right now....

LMAO - Needless to say, when he came home the stuffed animal was hanging on the wall. With a knife!

Me too...its just soooo true..something I would do..

Lol..Absolutely!

Good to see you shorty...🙂
-Thanks DB!

Honestly, the pics had dust on them - leaving me to believe they hadn't been viewed in a loooooong while. I do know it's hard for alot of Scorps to let go sometimes of the past, but I don't know if this is his issue. They broke up 2 1/2 years ago, she has moved on with someone else, so I don't really think he's still wondering "what if?" or pining after her. I think he's moved on a long time ago, but for a slight second I was a bit taken aback because I didn't expect to run across pics of his ex. But, I can't really talk because if he were to go through my photo boxes, he would find pics and old letters from my past....and it doesn't mean that I haven't let go of the past or I still want to be with me exes. I just don't see the point in throwing all that stuff away if they represented a time in my life of growth, or experience. Thx for all the responses! 🙂

I agree. Us Capricorns can be sentimental in that way, too. I am also guilty of being a packrat; I keep EVERYTHING! LOL! I have to force myself to throw stuff away; and that's only after I have no room to fit anything else. HA!

"...and it doesn't mean that I haven't let go of the past or I still want to be with me exes. I just don't see the point in throwing all that stuff away if they represented a time in my life of growth, or experience."

I agree with that completely! I like to keep stuff from past relationships because it reminds me of myself then. It's totally an ego trip, nothing to do with the guys really. However, if my guy?s ex kept nocking at the door trying to get back together with him, I'd tell her to get lost myself as well Tauruschic.

sb ... are you around —?

oh dear 😢

Yeah me too..tried to back track but couldn't find anything...obviously touched a nerve!..lol..

Amen to that Sagitaurius

Yes, I have a box full of stuff. I keep them because sometimes I will go through them to remember the lesson I learned about/from that relationship. It has nothing to do with being sentimental with the person in those pictures. It has everything to do with who I thought I was with them, the good and bad times, and the thoughts and feelings and lessons that got me to be who I am today.

Yes I am very sentimental...I keep birthday cards....all sorts of momento's and I date them the minute i receive them so that i can look back and remember when and why i got them...

Altho I am a pretty present focussed person I like to drift down memory lane now and again!
