Should I delete all pictures of my ex?

Depends, is seeing those pictures bringing you unpleasant feelings? If so, it's a good idea to delete them. If you can not bring yourself to delete them then back them up some where you won't see them until you are confident you have gotten over your ex.

I guess it would depend on how the relationship was. If it was really poisonous, then I would say yes. If you feel you have fond memories of the time you spent together then you don't really need to. They might make a nice memento. But I think that the period after a break up is kinda volatile. If you don't delete them, it's probably a good idea to move them into a place where you don't have to see it often.

i think it would be a very effective way to get over your ex. it's less of a reminder of that person and would help you maybe not forget them, but not think about them as much.

If you feel as if you need to delete all pictures of your ex then go for it but if you don't feel like you are ready to or don't really want to or aren't sure wait awhile before doing so. Take your time.

Maybe. Maybe not. It's not an easy thing to say because there is no clear YES or NO answer. It depends how your relationship ended. Did both of you say it's better to go seperate ways? Or did it end ina huge fight? How do you reflect on your relationship? Do you recall more happy or bad memories? If you feel like the pictures of your ex are hindering you at living a balanced life, then I wouldn't necessarily burn them, because burning has a very aggressive and destructive aura. Maybe put them in a boy and burry them. If you have them on your phone, then delete them, if you think that your life would be a bit easier without them on your phone. If you don't think that the pictures of your ex are blocking your way of living then just keep them, because sometimes we all get a bit melancholic and drift away in sadness and loo through old pictures. It's a human thing to do.

Not quite, even if you two are not together anymore, that doesn't mean they weren't a part of your life. Maybe you have some happy memories in that pictures. But if looking at then brings pain, tan definitely I'd delete them.

No need! Its a memory for you! May be later you'll feel proud of it or you'll just laugh about it.

Just because something isn't special anymore, doesn't mean should should automatically forget what used to be special. If you are ready to delete them; you will know!

It depends, whether you broke up in good terms or not.. but maybe you have some nice memories that you wouldn't actually want to forget..

Yes. Otherwise, he will always be on your mind, and that isn't a good way to get over the breakup. It will bring back both good and bad memories, and you will take much longer to find another partner.

If you wish to move on, yes. Deleting pictures will only help to forget him/her. Try doing that and soon you will forget him/her.

It depends weather you think the break up is a long term thing and not just a little bump in the road

Personally, I would. If there are photos of your ex on your phone how are you meant to get over him? Unless a photo that has your ex on it is personal to you then I would.

When you feel like you're ready to move on and ready to cut ties with your past then delete them. Sometimes we just wake up and find ourselves forgetting and not thinking about our ex and then we remember hours later that we haven't thought about them for a while. That's usually a good sign to let you know that you're ready to move on from your ex. But don't delete them until you're completely sure that you're ready to move on.

In my opinion, no, not all of them. Farther along the way you may find yourself fonder of the memories and lessons you have learned along the way since then and a photo may be a way in which you might appreciate those things. That being said, it's best not to cling too tightly to those experiences and embrace the future so don't keep them if they don't create value in your life.

Yes, you should. Unless you no longer have any feeling for that person. The picture isn't what you delete, you actually delete memories and the past

I say get rid of most of them but keep the ONE thing that still makes you smile a bit when you see it. But if you don't have one of those then I say yes get rid of everything because believe me, until you find someone else who makes you happy, or you get over them, seeing any form of your old memories will hurt.

It's probably best if you still find yourself looking at those pictures and getting hurt It's also a good step to try and move on. Stay positive and open minded!

It is up to you, once it is done you cannot undo it. Only you can decide that, but don't do it until you are ready,

Depends on how you feel about your ex. If it helps you to get over and you want to forget your ex, do it. If you want to keep good memories and you still get along, why to delete them?

There is no right or wrong answer. Sometimes, deleting pictures can help us move past relationships easier. If you think deleting the pictures will benefit you in the long run, do it.

It depends on you, and how much you feel you can cope with right now. If you think that these pictures are potential triggers for your emotions, then yes I would consider deleting them. But, if your breakup was on mutual understanding, and you think that your differences will eventually pass, then perhaps preserving these memories to cherish them later will be good. Either ways... know this will pass :)

It is up to you If you wish to forget him and move on I say yes but if you are wanting to keep that part of your life than no

This is a hard question many of us ask. I understand you may still be in love with the person but ask yourself, will you ever go back to what you was before? If no, delete them. If yes, follow your heart.

If you mean what's more appropriate, in general, then I think you should simply do what you'd like them to do to your pics. But if you mean avoiding the nostalgia and regrets...etc then yeppp delete those timeboms as fast as you can pal :D

no. life is about memories and experiences both the good and the bad. What may hurt now is not permanent. You should keep the photos and cherish the good times you had together for later cause your ex was still a part of your life once

This is a question that varies from person to person, and of course the situation. I have been on both sides of this in that once I needed to get it all out: the pictures, the teddy bears, letters, etc; I had to purge and let go of a person that was toxic to me and all reminders of this person brought me back into a deep depression. On the other hand, I've had great relationships that ended mutually or amicably and I've kept our pictures as a tribute to what we had. Keeping those pictures makes me feel comfort in knowing that what we had was real and I will cherish the times we had together. So, in summary, the most important thing is how you're feeling and what you think would be the right thing to do.

Only you can know what brings you happiness and peace of mind. If they are bringing you sadness and stress, then perhaps that's the right decision. Just remember, it's not the photos, alone, but the underlying feelings that they trigger in you. Healing from a previous relationship takes time and patience, and most of all, self-compassion. Take care of yourself as you would any dear friend. And if the photos are hurting more than helping, maybe that is just the symbolic "letting go" that is further needed so you can truly move ahead.

You should delete them if you have no more feelings for him, and you should make sure you 100% are over him before you delete all of the pictures. In the future, you may develop more feelings for him and want to look back on those memories.

Should you remove their image from your head? Their shadow from your eyes? Their odor from your senses? The beat of their heart from the sensation of your hands? The remnants of their soul from the bottom of your heart? ...Digital images don't mean nothing, when your whole essence is already impregnated by their presence.
