Do you have the right to ask your ex to delete your photos if you break up on bad terms?

[Kaamraj]

My ex-girlfriend broke up and ghosted me, she admits it's because she has some mental health issues. Now the issue is that we have a mutual friend so I can still get a message across. I want to tell her to delete all the pics I sent her of myself, some of them are NSFW, and also pics of my artwork (musical notations & paintings)? Any pics of us together she can do whatever she wants with it. I will also make it clear that I will do the same with all of her pics too.

Yes you can ask your ex to delete your photos

No they are entitled to those memories

It's understandable that you may feel uncomfortable with your ex-girlfriend having NSFW photos of you, as well as pictures of your artwork. However, whether or not you have the right to ask her to delete these photos depends on the circumstances surrounding the breakup and the nature of your relationship.

If you ended the relationship on bad terms and there are no legal or contractual obligations that require her to keep the photos, you can certainly ask her to delete them. However, it's important to approach the situation with respect and sensitivity, as she may have her own reasons for keeping the photos.

When communicating with your ex-girlfriend about the photos, try to be clear and direct about your concerns, but also respectful of her feelings. Let her know that you would appreciate it if she could delete the photos of you and your artwork, and that you will do the same with any photos you have of her. Be willing to listen to her perspective and try to find a solution that works for both of you.

It is up to each individual to decide what they do with their personal photos and belongings, but it's important to approach the situation with empathy and understanding, especially if the breakup was on bad terms.

You can't make her delete those photos, that's the bottom line. So you can ask, but she might not do it just to piss you off.

As far as your artwork goes, she can't use them commercially. That's about the only thing you can legally get her for.

Of course. I thought everyone delete theor ex's pictures (unless they're with group of friends pictures) even if they ended the relationship on good terms because it's basic understanding and it's something I do out of being considerate to others in case they get into a relationship and also because I wouldn't want to come across the pictures and dwell in the past.

Nah you can say delete my number or remove our pic off your facebook post but thats about it. The rest of the photos they’ll likely save to a folder

I put no, they are entitled. Why... simply because I don't give a shit... not my problem.

Certainly you have that right , zero doubt , your photos.

[LiamJHayden]

To ask? Yes. To force? Probably not.
