Long married guys: Is it weird to have a photo of your wife from when you first fell in love as your phone background?
I’ve been married for 25 years and I’ve known my wife for over 35 years. Recently, my phone background is a photo of her from when we first fell in love in college.
To me, it’s nostalgic. That’s the woman I love and seeing the picture reminds me of then.
But then I realized something: to anyone else, it probably looks like I have a random 21 year old girl as my background. She’s young enough in the picture that maybe it looks like she could be my daughter, but maybe not, which made me wonder if it’s kind of creepy or if I’m overthinking it.
I’ll add there’s nothing particularly sexy about the photo but big detail - she was goth! Black make up, chains and leather! But that’s just how she looked back then. Also- I look kinda run of the mill these days.
Do any of you keep old photos of your spouse around for sentimental reasons? Especially if they went through “a phase”. Does this seem sweet, weird, or somewhere in between?
I cycle through lots of pictures of my wife and family as my background, so it’s not like it’s always there- just a thought.
