I don't know how to feel about this... I knew that my fiancee' had a video of him and his ex fiance having sex on the computer. I told him how it made me feel and after about a week and a half or so, he finally deleted it off the computer. Come to find out a few weeks later, he has the same video on his phone. When I bring it up to him he says " I forget about it, until you bring it up" Now today, I had to transfer a file from our desktop onto the external hard drive, I was looking around (maybe I shouldn't have been snooping) and he's got a ton of picture's of her on there and 3 sexual video's of them together.... I feel like balling my eyes out. Why does he need to keep these? When we first got together, he mentioned to me that he considered her to be the love of his life, soul mate, and the best sex he's ever had. Now, he says that I am the love of his life and the best sex he's ever had, about the soul mate thing, he says that he doesn't believe in soul mate's anymore. I feel like I am paying the consequences for the things that she put him through when they were together. For example, he doesn't want to give me a key to the truck (a truck that I drive more than he does) because she left him in HIS vehicle and took ALL their money, he won't link me to the credit card for the same reason, and when I saw a ring I loved on a jewelry commercial the other day, he said he'd never buy a diamond again, because the last one that he bought is sitting in the bottom of the ocean. Then there's the affection issue, I constantly tell him how much I love him. How sexy he is to me, but the only time he gets serious about his love for me, is when he's drunk. Don't get me wrong, he tells me everyday, multiple times a day, that he loves me, and he's affectionate with me, but the major affectionate stuff, only comes out when he's drunk. He's told me that he's afraid to express his true feelings because of the hurt he's been through in the past. We're getting married in March. On our 6 month anniversary. (no we didn't rush into things, we dated in high school and were forced to break up but kept in touch over the years, and finally got our chance to be together in Sept) I'm scared. I don't know what I would do if I lost him. I have already been married twice. I realize today that I didn't love either of them. That I didn't know what love meant, until Jon. He has shown me the meaning of true love, and unconditional love, but when we fight (which isn't often, we have only had 3 major fights since we've been together) he always threatens to or tries to throw me out. This last time was really bad. He started to pack my suitcase to make me leave.... I am trying to make changes in my life that I know I need to make. I.E. --- Doing more around the house, getting a job, not bring up his ex's, my jealousy and my insecurities, but I am scared out of my mind at the thought of losing him. I have never felt this way about anyone in my life before! Please help. All input welcome. Thanks...

88FWhat I do like is early morning clouds and then they disappear and the sun comes out. That was it's cooler in the morning. I'm sitting here looking out the window at the hummingbird with the river and dike as a back drop. It's hard to invision ever leaving but I'm also a realist with aging, especially when the luncheon we had with thirty former classmates on Monday. Sandra, we get news of...

89FToday it is again another hot day but cooler then yesterday. Since this is August it is to be expected in my neck of the woods. All the grass is yellow and flowers are starting to go to seed. I need to water my garden but this time of the year I'm so over it, which is weird because all my plants have their fruit or veggies.Sandra, this time of year reminds me of your Dad and his toms. We'd...

As he said..she was the love of his life, his soul mate and the best sex ever. Where does that leave you? Constantly feeling 2nd best if that.
It was an insensitive thing to say to you, we all say things without thinking at times.
I dont know of any woman that would be ok with their guy having video's of sex with ex's.
That isnt what i consider a jealousy problem, thats just plain old respect of your loved ones feelings. I mean.... would he be ok if you had such material that you kept of your ex's? I very much doubt it. And so what that he forgot it was there until you bought it up, its out in the open now and i would be judging this man and the future together on his actions of what he does now.....Does or did his actions show how deeply he cares for you?
It doesnt really sound like he's over the hurt and fully ready to move on, do you still want to marry him when his heart isnt fully open to you?
take care
He needs to be grateful to have you in his life too.
Maybe the fear of leavng him is giving him too much power. He needs to respect you.
also if someone was a certain way in high school, it does not mean they are still the same way as adults...packing your bags and threatening abandonment is really lame and hurtful and a show of poer.
Maybe just walk aay the next time he does that and if he does not beg you to return just leave for good.
Its not cool to do powergames...however many people do that
the fear of leaving him gives him way too much poer to play those games on you
love may be there but these antics muct stop because they acn cause hurt and lo self esteem
i guess you need to set a standard and expectations for the relationship and take theleadership there andbe willing to walk away if you don't get what you want/deserve
goodluck
