On the Rebound

My boyfriend is actually my best friend, we're college friends we've been friends for more than 10 yrs. He had a six year relationship with his ex girlfriend... they just broke up 10 months ago, 6 months after their break up he tried to commit suicide, luckily he survived with my help, being his best friend am always at his side.

(I may not be physically present to him because im based abroad but I make sure he's ok by calling him everyday and i even go back home every 2 months just to be with him). After he recovered from that suicide attempt he asked me to help him, he said he wanted to move on with me, i love my best friend even though i know I'm on the rebound i said yes to him.

It's our 4th month only, everything is fine, we make love....but recently, he uploaded a picture of a puppy from an old folder in facebook (labeled as family), unintentionally his picture with the ex girlfriend came out. it was an unpublished photo before so when he uploaded a new one it came out on his wall post, i saw that picture before but i didn't ask him to delete it because it was there before but i got hurt when i saw it posted on his facebook.

i asked him to delete it but he doesn't want to. he said it was past and he doesn't love the person anymore and he will only look bitter if he deletes it....

what should i do with it? do i have the right to get angry with him for not deleting it or should i just let it be there? i'm afraid that if i insist on deleting it, he'll get angry and the friendship that we have for so long we'll just be vanished like that...

i don't know if I'm going to believe my boyfriend for saying that he doesn't love his ex anymore.. what do you think? is he still not over his ex?
