SelfCentered Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 So my ex was a photographer and shortly before we broke up she took the photos at a big family occasion. I recommended her because she's a student and I wanted her to get some exp, my family obliged but now are asking for the photos. Sure they understand how hard the breakup is for me, but they would have paid a professional photographer had they'd known there'd be a wait. All i have to do is to send a pleasant email saying "Hey,....could you get them to me soon please....thanks". But a part of me is still hoping she'll say "Here they are...how have you been...I miss you". Then another part of me is scared she'll just say "here they are" and nothing else. Is there anyway I can mitigate how lousy this is inevitably going to be? Link to post Share on other sites

Philosoraptor Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Get someone else to send an email. If they are family photos you do not have to be the one to ask for them. Link to post Share on other sites
Author SelfCentered Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 Thanks for the input. In the end I emailed her as I also decided to delete her from FB today. Felt like I should give her an explanation. Some might say I didn't owe her one, but...well, I can't hate her, still care for her, and can only respect her decision to end our relationship. So yeah, I told her to drop the photos off with her brother (my friend) when she comes down for Christmas. Basically said in the email that I find seeing her profile page upsetting, need some space to heal properly. Hopefully she'll give the photos to her bro and I can finally go NC and move on.
