What kind of person asks you to remove your picture of the adopted son you had together, that passed away?

I recently moved into my new apartment. I had two pics of our son on my bureau mirror. Since my apartment is furnished, I left the bureau behind and one of the two pics on the mirror. I went to the house the other day and my ex said "This is my room now and I want your stuff removed... starting with THIS (my son's picture). I don't want to wake up and look at his face every day!"

Seriously? What. The. Hell?

Might be too painful for him to see it every day.

@LyricalOne I agree but, he could just put it in the drawer and not say what he said, that was a bit OTT

@SW-User Diplomacy is certainly good but while in the grieving process, feelings get expressed in very messy ways.

@LyricalOne He passed away 5 years ago and my ex has never even batted an eyelash...

@SW-User Can't speak to him in particular but I do know there is no timetable on grief. My husband passed 7 years ago this month but every so often the feelings are as raw as if it were yesterday.

@LyricalOne I'm so sorry about your husband.

Yes, I completely agree. I've felt the same way. I just don't understand not wanting to see his face. The memories, sorrow, and joy are there regardless...

@SW-User I'm very sorry for your loss as well.

People grieve differently. For some, memories can be very painful, reminders of what one no longer has.
