sickoflove11 Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 I think it is fine that you don't delete them. Later you will have moved on and found someone else. At that point you might consider deleting them because you have someone else important in your life. My ex never went on social media when we dated he just wasn't into that. He's got some pictures from 4 years ago with his ex's but no pictures of me. He only went on FB to change our relationship status and again to take it off 3 months after the break up… I didn't do it first so I was pretty hurt even though we had been broken up a few months already hah. I was hurt because I was over analyzing it and like someone else said on this post, don't over analyze what she is doing. I know it hurts but just stay off of social media, you'll feel better soon enough.
soccerrprp Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 What I did was just save them all in a file and take them off the web. I still have the photos locked up somewhere as to not erase the reality. For the OP, do what you can to get over her. But the above statement simply doesn't make sense to me. You can't erase your experience or "the reality" by deleting pictures. In fact, this statement implies that less effort is being made to move on and the pictures used to remind one of the loss. This is not a healthy look at what the pictures represent.
Tryingtobegrateful Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 I just don't believe in trying to erase memories and deleting events that happened because that's what they are, memories. I wasn't trying to hold on, I would just much rather let it be on there as it's a part of my story. And i know a lot of you will call me out by not deleting pictures, but that's just not what I wanted to do. As much as I was moving on, I didn't want to "erase" someone from my life, I wanted to accept that it happened. I think about that too, he once contributed to part of my happiness (in fact the happiest days in my life)...I dont want to erase it, like nothing had happened....though now looking at those now only make the BU more painful. But still I imagine one day I would look back fondly, when I move on, then I dont want the fact that I have nothing to look at... So that's wrong? Moreover, I dont believe a relationship shall be about who is winning or loosing....maybe I am still too naive....
