Vinsanity1307 Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Its has been over 6 months since the BU and packed away the pictures and put them at a friends house. Anyways I am house-sitting and have the urge to look at the old pictures on the flash drive. Would it be ok to do so? And no I am no where near over the BU. Not even close. The urge is killing so I figured I would ask for some input. http://www.loveshack.org/forums/breaking-up-reconciliation-coping/breaks-breaking-up/417902-dumped-after-5-years
xUnknown Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 You know the answer to this question man. You just want to hear it from us about what to do. Listen to your gut. I know what your gut is telling you based on your post. You don't need us to make this decision for you, you know what you have to do on your own. You got this bro. I know you'll do the right thing. 1
Philosoraptor Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 You're no where near over the breakup, you said that yourself. You'd just be setting yourself back and ripping open the wound. 3
xUnknown Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 btw, good to see you back on the forums Vin...well, obviously, it sucks, but you know what I mean (based from a prior thread of yours). 1
JDPT Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I manage to delete the last two pictures remaining from my laptop from good. One was of her and I having lunch at my parents home and the other of her beautiful little boy. I looked at them for literally 2 seconds and pressed delete immediately after. Then went to my recycling bin and deleted them from there for good. I don't feel either bad or good about deleting it's just something I HAD to do. Save yourself future grief Vin. No need to regress. 4
Author Vinsanity1307 Posted January 29, 2014 Author Posted January 29, 2014 yeah been trying to stay away for a while sometimes thinks this site makes me think too much about her. (Even though its the case the majority of the time). Anyways I know the answer just kinda wanted the reassurance. Its hard, like an addiction the flashdrive is so close and like staring at me. Temptation is very hard....as you all know

mtnbiker3000 Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Ohhhhhhhh, don't do that. Do anything but that!! I made this mistake once in the first month or two and I learned my lesson. Haven't looked since and don't plan to... 1
pickflicker Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Take a hammer, and smash the flash drive. Drop it in a bucket of bleach. Problem solved. 5
Author Vinsanity1307 Posted January 30, 2014 Author Posted January 30, 2014 Thanks for the responses... I don't want to destroy them because I am a huge picture person, and that was 5 years of my life (some best moments in my life). Just trying to resist the temptation...

I get it if a lover has died, but why is it necessary to keep them? You may not ever be able to look at them, so why keep them? 2

Destroy the drive and you destroy the pain. That part of your life is over. Accept it. The fact that it's an option for you to look keeps the pain alive. TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR LIFE MAN! 3

No, you just want to keep a lifeline to a past that for some reason you refuse to get rid of. I'm sure there are plenty of pictures from those five years that don't involve your ex. 4
Author Vinsanity1307 Posted January 30, 2014 Author Posted January 30, 2014 Im sorry but I have failed you all.....I gave into the temptation of looking at all the old photos and videos I stored of my ex while house-sitting....It hurt/still does but it felt like I dont/didnt even know her..... Her cats pictures who i basically adopted and lived with me for the past 2.5 years (up till the break up) seemed to hurt a little more than my ex. Not sure if it is a good thing or not....But I should of listened to you guys...and I am really sorry...
pickflicker Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Well...on your own head be it. Now you've looked, probably cried, so now you need to bash the heck out of it with a hammer and put it in a bucket of bleach. 2

Maybe one day, you'll stop this. 2
