My family have a family picture on the wall, which includes me and the ex wife smiling. They haven't taken it down. I s'pose I can't expect them to either, even if I do keep looking at it because I'm home for Christmas. :rolleyes:

    Can you not use that part as a dart board? No? Probably not a good idea.

    LOL I was thinking as a beer mat, but dart board is good too. :D

    Well, a beer mat wouldn't work, unless you had beer glasses that stuck to the wall. ;)

    No, what I meant was, then I could be like 'I'm getting blind drunk, and I'm drinking OFF YOUR FACE.'

    Ya know? Seems to be power in it.

    Yeah - not sure if I'm ready for that, and this was a professional one in a studio, so it IS a nice photo. If I had the money I'd treat everyone to the same again..

    who cares if it's professional? if it makes you uncomfortable, just ask.
    if you would like, or if your family would like something in it's place, i'm sure you'll figure it out.

    Draw devil horns and a beard on the ex. Or tape a picture of Scarlett Johansson over her.

    You should ask them to please take the picture down and pehaps give them another picture of you to replace it. If it bothers you they should know and respect your wishes. They're your family - you can tell them anything.

    Either that, or cut out a picture of someone else's head and tape it over your ex's - that would be funny and not spoil the picture.

    That was hilarious!!! And the first time I've laughed today! :D CUTE!

    HLF, Can you politely ask your parents? I'm sure if they knew you were uncomfortable with it, they'd take it down.

    Thanks everyone for your ideas.

    I've just resolved to not look at it. :cool:

    But I am busy fashioning several home-made darts, just in case....

    I know how you feel. My mom has several pictures of me and my ex-boyfriend at home, in her office, etc. It's annoying cos I hate him now. :p
    It's okay, Pluto. I'm not a planet either.

    Man, if that happened to me it would be pretty disheartening I guess. Also, Emily18 has the correct idea :D

    I think that if you told them how it made you feel, they would understand. It's very understandable that you would feel uncomfortable, especially during this time.

    Just remove it yourself.
    And when they ask, tell them why you did it.
    Just be honest with them.
