ponchsox Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 I don't have have her number remembered so I'm considering deleting all text and call logs so I can maintain NC. Anyone else do this after a breakup? Keeping her number makes me tempted to text her.
JDPT Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 I erased my iPhone completely so that there were no traces of her. It felt great almost as if I had a brand new phone. And to answer your question, yes delete her number and save yourself future grief.
Ansem Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 Haha yea, delete her number. Wish I didn't have it memorized.
JDPT Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 Haha yea, delete her number. Wish I didn't have it memorized. I'm working on deleting that from my brain. 1
newmoon Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 I didn't memorize it either so when I deleted it I knew it was gone for good. Best way to avoid any temptation to text/call though. Glad I did it, but it took a while, admittedly.
melell Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 Is there a way to lose a number from ones memory?
Mz_sassy_77 Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 Nope...deleted phone numbers, old texts, email address, emails, blocked on facebook...have no way to contact him and was best decision. Makes it a lot easier. Is first step I think in really accepting its over and first step in truly moving forward.
Salvatore85 Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 I'll admit it, I kept some of the text messages. All were post break up and not even really relevant in any sense, just her sort of being a jerk for no reason and conversations about things that deal with the condo we had together. I guess there's a part of me that doesn't fully want to forget her because for quite some time she was an amazing part of my life. I never look at them but I can't delete them for some reason? I guess even though the person I originally fell in love with was not the same person my ex was in the end I still miss her in a way. I don't contact her nor have I tried, I don't want her back and I'd never try but she was such a major/important part of my maturation that I don't want to fully erase her just yet.
NoMoreJerks Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 No, I had deleted his number, and didn't have it anywhere (at least as far as I know, though I might have one of his business cards lying around somewhere on my very cluttered desk), but he keeps texting me every once in a while, and his number appears on my phone. I delete the texts, but he sends me about 1 or 2 at 3-week intervals lol.

You will get there eventually. I did. I never deleted his texts in the previous break-ups (with the same ex) but this break up is final and I was really hurt, so I just completely moved on from him and he means zero to me. You will get there. For now, do what you gotta do, if you need to keep the texts, keep them -- it's because you are not over her / feel like deleting those texts is like deleting part of what you had going together. I know the feeling.
NoMoreJerks Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 Oh and when he removed me from facebook, I blocked him on facebook. I don't want him checking up on me / snooping, to see my profile pictures (which I cannot prevent him from seeing). I can hide everything else, but I don't even want him to see my profile picture & cover photos on facebook. Sure he can make a new account and search for my name, but he can do that if he's so desperate to snoop on me. I want him to realize I don't want him to get anywhere near me at this point. Have also deleted his emails, put a filter in my email account to prevent his emails from appearing in my inbox -- they are immediately deleted and I don't see them / know that he sent anything , unless of course he gets a new email address and sends the emails from there which he hasn't done so far thank god. 1
NoMoreJerks Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 lol, I never memorized his number, because he had 2, one that was a U.S. number (which is easier to memorize) and the other a UK number, and man UK numbers are so long! Lucky for me lol. I didn't memorize either because he used both phones equally and I never knew which one he'd call me from or that I could call, so it wasn't like a regular number that I always called. Plus, he didn't want me to call him, we usually talked on free calling apps on the phone.

I was keeping texts too, but then I realized by keeping the texts I was keeping the number in my phone. So, I printed the texts, saved them with other relationship pictures that are boxed and gone. When the texts were printed out they were saved and that made me feel better in some way, but at least I could then delete the number.
LostOne1 Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 I actually bought a new phone.. so im sure my old phone has that info some where... But to be honest I never had the urge to want to get her number at all.
Fashiongal Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 I have it memorized but I still deleted it and every text and picture out of my phone.
rossi128 Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 I deleted my contact email and texts (eventually, was holding onto them) but not before I backed them up by emailing them to myself. I never check old emails often so their out of sight. I can't erase what was a important part of my life so backing them up is the next best thing (for me anyway), pics, few texts and contact info
