SoonMyFriend Posted November 5, 2012 Posted November 5, 2012 Hi LS, So I am new to this whole "dating during the era of Facebook" and was just curious about a few things... I was in a serious LTR for a long time with my high school sweetheart. (Yes... I know, I know...) SO, obviously when we started dating FB didn't exist. Now we're split, and I have no idea what the "expectation" is. Am I supposed to be removing any photos of my ex and myself? Or at least untagging? And I did a search here and saw some threads where people were upset that they found photos of their SO ex on their computers. My split was mutual and we are NC, and I was the dumper, butI have no intention of deleting these photos. My ex and I travelled together and spent many holidays together. I can't be expected to pretend those years didn't exist. I took down all photos I had framed from our trips, but I'm not going to act as though he wasn't the person who I travelled with. And at the same time, I have ZERO interest in getting back with my ex. There is no candle burning there! So help a gal out?
Dreamless Sleep Posted November 5, 2012 Posted November 5, 2012 You should do what's comfortable for you. I deleted photos and blocked my ex because it caused me heartache. Nothing I was trying to hide.
ASG Posted November 5, 2012 Posted November 5, 2012 I would take down a profile photo that had my ex on it, but holiday photos? No. Also wouldn't delete them from my computer if I did take them down. Some people seem to expect you to erase your ex completely from your life, but I find that is completely impossible to do if you've dated for a significant amount of time. It's really up to you though.
