    Just looking for a bit of honest advice.
    I had a really awful break up last year and basically got badly hurt and thought I would never ever be bothered with guys again.......

    Met this lovely guy at Christmas in my home town. Got on really well and have been on plenty dates and are both enjoying it.

    He broke up with a girl last year too. The thing is he still has Loads of photos of her up on FB. He mentioned that it was a very amicable friendly break up and I totally believe him at his word.

    Why would you keep up loads of photos though? She still seems to comment alot on his FB too.

    Am I over reacting and being pathetic? I should just take him at face value right.

    You are not being pathetic or over reacting. Maybe a little concerned which is normal. Some people who break up may cut all ties with ex. Others may throw everything that reminds them of their ex in the trash bin and others may choose to continue contact. If it was an amicable break-up it is not uncommon that they develop a friendship and close bond. I am not sure what to say about his FB page and having all her pics posted on it. Probably depends on the pics. Is it them canoodling? Or are they holiday pics? With friends and family? How long has he broken up with her for? How long was his relationship with her for? Were they close friends before they became an item? There are so many questions and thoughts about this. It all really depends. You were not very specific so I am just throwing stuff out. I hope this is helpful.

    Its off about 8 months. They went out out for over 2 years.

    I got really badly burnt and hurt last year after breaking up with someone that i really loved and i know maybe im being too cautious.

    At face value he is lovely, hes very attentive, he calls he takes me out. We enjoy ourselves. There definitely is a bit of a spark. Theres no problems.

    Just all these photos of them. On hols at weddings out and about all the usual!! Looking very happy and I dont get it.

    We are seeing more and more of each other and really getting on well. I dont want to go shouting my mouth off and create problems. For me the future is not in the past and so I have removed everything with my ex off FB.

    By the way we are both adult professionals.....though you might not think it!!
