Wah?
She downloaded your pictures, modified them and put them on her own account?
What a weirdo.

And renamed it "Our Dates" like she was actually THERE?!?

She's weird and totally crossed a line.  Nonetheless, I'd ignore.  Otherwise, it will probably escalate and from your OP, its just not worth it.

OP, I think you're doing the right thing in letting this go.

For the record, I think the new girlfriend's actions were extremely presumptuous and petty. But I don't think there is anything to be gained by raising the matter with your ex (or her).

My reaction to this was laughter. Sorry OP! GF's creepiness just struck me as hilarious.

Maybe you should talk to your ex about this privately? Agree to take photos with him off your page if the stolen photos are also taken down?

Okay, that is just creepy.  What a sad little person. What next, is she going to go through his kindergarten fingerpaints of the girl he liked and stick a photo of her face on them? Will she rewrap every gift you and other ex-GF's gave him and make them a present from her?
If you can't accept that your BF had a past that didn't include you, you really shouldn't be dating.

Oh, but it makes PERFECT sense. Because Ex went on the dates, so they're his. And they're now the Greatest Couple Ever, and what's hers is his, and what's his is hers. So, his dates are hers, and we are all together.

Or something like that....  ::)

Bwhahahahahaha!!!


Y'all are hilarious and so very, very good at hitting the nail on the head. His mom actually messaged me today about the matter (I decided to leave her as my FB friend as our friendship is separate from the now-defunct relationship/friendship with the ex). She noticed the new tagged photos and that he and I aren't friends any longer. Apparently Current Girfriend (CG) has a problem with the fact that I exist regardless of the fact that it is four states away. She is hell-bent on erasing my existence to the point that Ex's Mom says CG will turn photos in their home that contain me around to face the wall or hide them in drawers. I'm so glad that I live far enough away that the crazy can't get to me.

 ??? Hiding things? Really? Well, she clearly has a screw loose. I'm glad you're far away from the crazy too.

Really bizarre, but your best option by far is to stay out of it. You don't want that sort of crazy directed at you.

And now you have a great story to tell.

Whoa! Doing something like that as a guest in someone's home is just...well...kind of psycho. I'm glad she's 4 states away from you, OP!

And I would keep it that way on Facebook too, don't engage.

Sounds to me like those who matter to you (your friends who are in the pictures, anyone who can see your original pics, ex-bf's mother) are or will be able to see the craziness for what it is.

I don't think you need to do a thing - the biggest favour you can do yourself is to stay well clear of the trainwreck :)

I agree with the PPs - don't engage the crazy.

Think of it this way - you've now got a great story to tell!

This is what I would do
1. Message the person who owns the album the altered versions of your pictures are in. Tell them they have X time to remove the pictures. I would be very formal.

2. After X time I would report them to Facebook for copyright violation.


I agree with this, especially the bolded part.  When you upload the photos, you have to agree that you have the right to distribute them, and she clearly does not.  I think you can still report them, even if you do not have a link.  

[edit] Given the level of crazy, though... I now agree that she should be left well alone...   :o

I am just weirded out and quite frankly pissed off by the fact that while HE took them off HIS page, someone cropped me out of the pictures (not an easy task), uploaded them to HER page, and CLAIMED them as hers ( through the title of the album and comments on them about the fun things they've done and seen together). I can understand her wanting pictures of her boyfriend on her page, and yeah, some of them are good pictures, but cameras aren't that hard to come by. He has a

Oh, that's creepy.

I'd stay WAY of it. This sounds like she's creepy to the point of being unhinged. The quicker you get off her radar, the better.
