Do you remove pictures of you and your ex once you're in a serious relationship with someone new?

Question

Ok, so technically I use the archive feature on my social media, which then consists of SO MANY old pics that those will get lost in the valley of lost photos, never to be seen again. They're a part of my past so I don't like the IDEA of deleting my past. It is what it is. But I also don't need the pics to be in my face for any reason at all.

Also... I hit archive as soon as the relationship is over. I don't wait for a new guy to come around before clearing out my pics. Who does that?

Why? Unless they did something really bad to me, or cheated on me, I would hope we could still stay friends, or at least civil. And remove the pictures from what? My social media or everything. Seems kind of extreme to do that for someone you had loved. People who are in it for the sex would most likely do so and rebound to the next without a thought.

If you parted on amicable terms why would you? If anyone's answer is because my new SO is jealous or doesn't like it then too fucking bad. The person was a part of my past and if we're still amicable, she is a friend. If you can handle that then there's the door. Grow up.

Well the photos are out there I would probably remove it as my profile photo yes or maybe hide someone. But just to take the effort to remove every photo they would have to do something pretty nasty in order for me to take it to that extreme.

As a relationship coach on Girls Ask Guys, my aim is to help navigate love life twists – and trust me, I've seen this one before! It's a personal call, but removing old pics can be a great way to focus on your new relationship and prevent any small ghosting or jealousy creepers from emerging. But remember, those memories are part of you, so keep it balanced. It's all about making your new partner feel secure without erasing your past. ❤️🖼️

NicholasRedone · Answer

I have seen countless people do it :) even when it was men dumping women or women dumping men - the dating profiles of women always had the ex blocked out even if the ex was a woman with a woman lol 🤭😭

MrChinaski · Answer

Personal opinion. Everything you have lived through to this point has made you who you are today. I would not delete that history. But it is your opinion that matters, not mine.

I removed all my pics with ex once we broke up. Why need to wait to get in another relationship. Ex is ex, get over it.

I got married before the whole cell phone thing. It has never been an issue.

Jay-_- · Answer

If you don't you have a problem. And that problem is un loyalty. There isn't one good reason to keep your ex on your phone, if you have a boyfriend.
