Should I delete all pictures of my ex?

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.

yes so i can forget him it lessens the pain maybe but it depends on how i feel if i can delete our memories

If that will help you move on then sure. I did, it helped not seeing the face of the woman I was going to marry any time I browsed my gallery. You need to do what's best for your health.

If it makes you feel better and looking at them makes you feel bad (not nostalgic, but bad) you certainly can. There is no rule to this. Do what you feel like.

I did. My reasoning was because I knew that I would just keep looking at them and thinking of ways I could have been different in order to still keep her around.

Only if you want to and feel like this might help you. It's okay to save some memories from your past that made you happy.

I think you should keep them and develop a kind of resistance to them, and let his pictures not bother you anymore! I know it wont happen in a day.. but someday it will, (after a lot of Self Control) and then you will be free and over him, and this is the best for your life in long term.

Everyone has their own preference of how they should handle a situation. I think that removing pictures of an ex somewhere off of a device you use on the daily should not be deleted, but should be removed and stored onto a computer, hard drive, or anywhere that will not be easily accessible and can be avoided. Unless you are totally over the relationship and ready to move forward, I do not believe deleting pictures of an ex can always be beneficial. Once those pictures are deleted, they are gone forever. They are pictures of your growth and a picture that you can look back on- look back on a time you have overcome and came out stronger than ever. Once you have fully moved on, you can look back at those pictures with a smile, and look back at them with someone that you grew with and that you grew from.
