인생 상담-1
Dear Annie: I recently began seeing "Zack" again after we broke up nearly two years ago. During our hiatus, we both dated other people.
Zack has many pictures of his ex-girlfriend on his wall. These pictures make me feel uncomfortable, especially since he`s never put up a photo of me. I asked Zack if he would take the pictures down, but he refused. I don`t think he still has feelings for this girl, and I also realize that, as an artist, he may place a different value on photographs than I do. However, it bothers me that he cares more for a bunch of old pictures than for me.
I think it`s time to take those pictures down. Am I overreacting?
Dear Picture: Talk to Zack calmly and ask why he insists on displaying photographs that he knows make you uncomfortable. If he is no longer interested in this woman and considers the pictures works of art, you have no reason to be threatened. Still, he should show enough respect for your feelings to put them in a location where they are less prominent.
