tatteredwings Posted January 1, 2011 Posted January 1, 2011 Hello LS friends! You can read my breakup story here if you're interested: http://www.loveshack.org/forums/t258513/ I've finally gotten enough strength to start updating my Facebook page and making our breakup public. My ex and I were together for 5 years and we were joined at the hip the whole time. We graduated from college together, worked overseas together, and traveled the world together. My Facebook profile is practically a shrine to our relationship. I have dozens of albums of our trips, hundreds of pictures/videos of our time spent together. I'm a pretty avid photographer, and I'm very proud of my pictures and videos. And even though our relationship is over, I still treasure these memories. But then I know that Facebook is also a public front. I would hate for any potential new girlfriend of mine to see my facebook page and be jealous about these photos, or think that I'm still not over my ex. So, to delete or not to delete? Untag or not untag? That is the question! What would you guys do? Thanks
goldenrainbow Posted January 1, 2011 Posted January 1, 2011 I would remove them and keep them in a file on my pc. treasured memories to myself
2010_Sorry Posted January 1, 2011 Posted January 1, 2011 Great question! The thing you have to keep in mind is that those pictures are experiences in your life, they are the things that made you who you are today. No matter what, you should KEEP those photos, because there will eventually be a time in your life when you will regret deleting them forever, if you decide to do that. If seeing those pictures still hurts or bothers you in any way, then you should delete them from Facebook. If it doesn't bother you at all, then I would leave them there. I would think that any woman that iis jealous or is bothered by those pictures is probably not the type of self confident woman you would want, right?
homebrew Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 To me it doesn't matter... I am not one to save pictures. For example: My LTR from 15+ years ago... If I had pictures... I can't imagine me having them out or even looking at them. Why? I am so over it... Fast Forward to when I am married... Am I going to put pictures of me and my ex as my background or as a screen saver on my computer? Are me and my wife going to put them up in our home? I don't care to see pictures of my EX now... why would I 5, 10, 15 years from now? I wouldn't. If my wife kept hers... I personally wouldn't care. For me, I just don't see the point.
