My girlfriend and I met on a dating site 2 years ago. After 6 months of only friendly conversation we met personally and fell in love. I proposed after a few months. I ended up changing jobs so we could be together, and we lived together for 8 months. At this stage she saw that I had some old pictures of vacations with my ex-girlfriend, and was jealous and asked me to delete them, which I did.
I expected her to do the same, although I did not ask. I found out that she actually kept all her ex-boyfriends pictures, as well as chat conversations and emails. She told me one ex-boyfriend kept emailing her and asked me if she should reply or ignore, and I advised her to ignore and block it as replying would probably keep him emailing, and also because she said she had no feeling or even friendship with him.
Anyway, she kept everything even after I told her that I did not like that she still had all of that in her computer. After a couple of months I found more pictures that she had downloaded from a 2 year old stored phone.
Again it made me upset to know that she was still collecting or organizing, instead of deleting, or storing and ignoring the pictures.
Now I am feeling threatened that she might not be really serious about us although we are supposed to get married next year and she mentions I am the one, the love of her life. We are living apart for professional reasons and she went to work on a cruise ship, which was an old dream.
Is there anything I can do to appease myself? Should I demand that she deletes it all? Should I demand that she quits that job? I don't think we will make it through 6 months without seeing each other - because I worked in cruise ships and know that there is a lot of social pressure, together with loneliness and pressure to mingle, and I feel hurt knowing she will rather be there than with me, even though we are supposed to marry in 8 months time...
