Not sure if this is in the right place

Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
Right, here goes.........

A year or so ago my boyfriend took some erm naked pictures of me, i thought it was a good laugh to pose and stuff and he loved it. He took them on the camera on his phone and i thought he had just kept them there.

Last week he lent his laptop to his mate because he was going to use it for a driving theory cd rom and thats fair enough, i didnt think anything of it. Yesterday his mate brought the laptop back and said that he "found" the pictures of me :o :no:

My boyfriend told me that his mate had seen the pictures and i was shocked because i thought he still had them on his phone, he said that he had put them on the computer but hidden them well and also but them in a hidden folder.

I feel quite violated, i know that i agreed to having the pictures taken and stuff but i didnt know that some little snoop would end up seeing them :mad:

Sorry, just had to have a little rant

What are everyones thoughts?

    If it is in a 'hidden' folder, how could he have 'found' them?

    I would be absolutely livid. Not sure who at though - if your boyfriend didn't make any effort to hide them like he said the it would be him I was angry at.

    However, your bfs mate had no right to snoop around private and, supposedly, hidden files.

    I don't know how i would feel, i'd either be really mad, or if i knew i looked good in them, kinda good about myself it that makes sense, however if i was him, i wouldn't want anybody seeing pictures of my other half naked, i'd be quite jealous someone else has seen.

    He probably simply went to View -> Folder Options and checked "Show hidden folders." They don't hide anything. Nothing less than archiving them with a password or changing the file extensions would really hide them. I would question how good of a friend this guy is if he's not only snooping but then boasting about finding the pics. As far as being violated... all I can tell you is that the female form is beautiful, and although it was not his place to see those pics he'll forget what he saw with time. Bottom line is that it doesn't happen again, and that he doesn't harass you about it.

    I would be more concerned about the picts being permanent than his mate seeing them. while we want to believe things last forever they most often dont. think about it.

    Maybe your b/f should've hidden them better, but in your position I wouldn't give him shit.

    I actually don't see a real problem, maybe I am blunt in that department. A mate saw nudie pics of you, what a disaster! He won't see you in a different light, will most probably not tell around (he would be an arse, if) and that's it.
    It's not a crime for a b/f to take pics of his girl and maybe he stored them on the laptop, because his storage on the cell was filled.
    end of story...

    id be pissed off and delete the pictures off his phone and computer. If he cant be trusted to keep them private then you should demand he get rid of them.

    yeah but she didnt want her boyfriends mates to see naked photos of her. shes not some aspiring porn star. Believe it or not, some people want that sort of thing between themselves and not for all their mates to see.

    Im a bit suspicious why the "mate" felt the need to tell her what he`d seen. I just hope he hasnt made a copy.

    i think your fella needs to have a word with this so called 'mate', because he didnt find them by accident. he clearly went looking thru your b.f's private files+folders, and he could have easily kept it to himself, but he didnt! doesnt sound like a nice guy to me!

    That was my initial thought, too. Did he tell you, or tell your boyfriend who then told you?

    To be honest, I'm sure that with the amount of compromising pictures people [I know] take of their partners and conquests on mobile phones that occasionally they are seen by the wrong eyes - but blabbing to the person in question seems a bit out of order and weird... especially in a situation where they were supposedly concealed (and they're therefore exposing themselves as a snooper into the bargain).

    Well his mate told my boyfriend that he had seen them then my boyfriend told me.

    My boyfriend told me today that he had a word with him telling him that i wasnt happy about it and his mate simply asked "well why did you tell her that i had seen them?"

    I respect my boyfriend for telling me that his mate had seen these pictures but i am not in the mood to forgive his mate :no:

    Okay, the BF made a booboo. Shouldn't have happened, and you are perfectly entitled to be angry with him for the lack of thought or discretion.

    His 'mate' is the real problem, IMO. If the pictures were hidden through obscurity, and the files physically hidden from normal viewing as well, then the 'mate' would have had to do some proper digging to find them. He isn't a mate at all, and misused the generosity of your BF.

    I'd feel violated, TBH. I'd feel thoroughly disgruntled with the 'mate' - he has no excuse. He wasn't looking for pictures of daisies whilst he was investigating the contents of the machines hard drive. It's not like he stumbled across them by accident...

    Get a big bloke to bounce the head of the 'mate' off the table a couple of times. Take pictures of the aftermath. Get a homosexual to give the 'mate' a little tongue-tickle down-there, and take a picture. Make sure he is aware that you have photographs - it'll even the scales somewhat, and reduce any chance of your pictures being 'mistakenly' passed around in future. :)
