Facebook and ex issue- anyone else had this?

If it was me I would contact him directly and ask him to remove them, don’t make a drama of it he either will or won’t.

Never try and erase history, just learn from it, so you don't make the same mistakes again.

I don’t know Facebook but can you ask them that you aren’t “tagged” I wonder?
The photos will still be there though I assume.

tell your friend that your not interested so not to tell you things about him

You were part of his past and most people have photos of their past on Facebook. He has probably forgotten about them or just does not see an issue with them being there.

Maybe I'm making something out of nothing then. It isn't worth contacting him to tell him to take them down, just came as a shock to know he hasn't bothered after three years. He always was lazy, lol! More important things to spend my thoughts on.

Many moons ago when we had actual photos he could have kept any of you, shown them to his friends etc, it’s not really any different.

If your ex posted them on his facebook page then only he can remove them. Your friend could report them to facebook but unless they break their rules they are unlikely to do anything.
