Do you keep or delete pictures of your ex? (Page 3)

Question

I have several pics of me and my ex and even a funny video of us doing impressions. Right after we broke up, I thought about deleting everything but now, I've decided to keep them. Reasons? They bring back memories. If the pictures are deleted for good, the good memories are just kinda gone. Despite the breakup, I've learned how to control my emotions for a bit. I learned to accept the situation as it is and only remember the good times we had. In the future, I might even look back and think "Why the fuck was I with this guy?" lol. For me, deleting the pics would make me feel worse than keeping them.

So tbh I keep nudes and sex pics but delete everything else.. that makes me sound like a whore😂 but it's just the truth

AlienChickk · Answer

I've been single for 3ish years, so I don't even have any pictures with exes. I deleted them back then.

Deina · Answer

I know exactly what you mean, and I do the same thing. Keeping pictures is respecting the memories, remembering the good times. People change, memories don't. Deleting them won't change anything!

MaisGem21 · Answer

Hands down delete. Don’t want the constant yearly facebook reminders that I posted a picture of me with trash 😂

I have deleted everything I could find but I'm sure there are others that I missed somewhere. I just delete it out of respect for my current girlfriend.

Me and my ex broke up 3 weeks ago I have over 80 pics of us and a ton of videos, I put them all in a album on my phone. I’m not ready to delete them yet and they are there when I want to look at them. So I say just put them in a album on your phone and when your ready you can get rid of them.
