Should I delete all pictures of my ex?

If you still feel possessive or obsessive, deleting photos help build a healthy barrier between you and your ex. If you are in a new relationship, ask your significant other what they think about you keeping these photos and have a conversation about what they feel.

To get over a person the quickest possible, it is best to think about that person and what could have been as little as possible. Pictures can constantly remind you of what you had. It is better to not look at them.

It would be best to. Especially if it ended badly or if it was a bad relationship from the get go. It's healthy to move on and just doing a small thing like deleting the pictures, can you help you tremendously.

If it will bring comfort for you.. YES! But if you're not sure, think on it.. It depends if its best for you or not.

It depends how far into the break up you are. If it's recent, absolutely. Delete them temporarily so you can heal yourself. But there'll be a day where you'll enjoy reminiscing and it wont hurt anymore.

Immediately unless you want to be hurt. If you are here for depression, you will keep hurting those you love and keep doing things that will hurt you.

Whether or not you delete your pictures of your ex is up to you. For some people, it may bother them to see the reminders of their relationship, so it may be beneficial to delete them. For others, it may not make much difference. It is totally up to you.

Sometimes, it is perfectly normal to miss your ex. You don't have to delete all of your pictures with your ex. Yet, if you want to get over them, I would delete pictures of you kissing them or being intimate with them. These pictures will trigger the emotions you have for them. Although, I am not saying you should forget about them. They were a part of your life.

Unless you and your ex are friends again, I believe you should delete all pictures, so you don't really have anything that reminds you of your ex. So you can move on. That's my recommendation, coming from a line of breakups and relationships.

Yes. It helps in the forgetting process. Constantly or chancing upon pictures of your ex may serve as reminders of the past and will not help you move on.
