We have had many BF/GF that have come and gone. It’s awkward to have them in family pictures when the child moves on and marries someone else.



My mother loved one of the pictures from my first wedding–immediate family, me, and ex-husband. After we divorced, she kept the picture up and would apologize saying it was the best she’s ever looked. When I brought my now husband home for the first time, I happened to notice that she had the picture on display. She had cut my ex out of the picture and re-framed it. She didn’t do a great job, so it did look like someone was missing. My H looked at it and started laughing. My mother said she knew right away that she liked H because he laughed at the photo.
