My husband and I are recently married and have been together since we were 19 (28 now). I recently got a locket and instead of putting a picture of him at the age he is right now or when we met, I have a picture of him when he was a little boy, maybe around 6 years old. I think he was adorable when he was little and he often makes remarks about how bad he looked or makes fun of himself for how he looked as a child. He had a rough childhood and I feel some sadness when I see photos of him as a child because I know the boy in the picture was very sad and not loved the way he should have been. I don’t know what it is but when I wear it, it reminds me that I can still love that little boy who didn’t have love at the time and it makes me feel closer to him. My friends think it’s weird since the photo is not of our child and they say it’s creepy. I could put a new photo of him in there but for some reason that seems kind of cheesy to have a locket at all?

i don’t think it’s weird or creepy it’s cute, i love my bfs baby pics! Plus i’m sure it heals your husband in a way
That’s an incredibly sweet and loving thing. It sends the message that you love this version of your partner that they struggle to love to the degree that you choose to carry them with you always. I shared your story with my family and it brought us to tears in the best way.
I haven’t done it but it isn’t weird! If you think that pic is adorable and see your beloved husband in that little face, that is very sweet imo.
No way thats not weird, i read the title and yeah, weird as fuck, but you read what you put. No thats ok with me🥲👍
Your reasons is innocent. They have issues if they’re drawing creepy conclusions after they have your perspective. Even then, I don’t see how it’s their place to remark.
I carry one of those “have you seen my child” keychains with my partner’s picture on it lol
I do not and cannot do this-he has no childhood pictures. But I often reflect on his childhood and give him an extra hug, or fold his laundry with no complaint. He’s a good, good man, and inside, he’s still vulnerable. He deserves all the love.
I have seen one photo of my bf as a little guy. I get it. I want to give him all of the love.
I think that’s very sweet. ❤️
