I would recommend you only delete pictures when you are ready to. Do not rush into deleting something if you aren’t ready to do so. Take your moving on process slow and steady, it wins the race. It’s never easy to let go of things we’ve lost, but one day you can look back and think about how strong you’ve been. If you think deleting those photos will be beneficial to you, 100% do it. But if you feel you aren’t ready yet, don’t push yourself. Listen to what your body needs and be patient with yourself. We all react differently to pain.

Thanks for reaching out! This is 100% up to you! There are pros and cons of doing so and this is something that you really want to think about carefully before deciding what you wish to do with the pictures of your ex. From personal experience in the past I have made the decision to delete all pictures I had of my ex and I. In the moment and for the time being it was beneficial because it did help me move on quicker however, sometimes I do wish I had some of the pictures so I could look back and remember those times. It's important to ask yourself if the relationship was an unhealthy or healthy one for you. Do you see you and your ex being friends only? Do you hope for your ex to become your boyfriend/girlfriend, husband/wife in the future again? At the end of the day it is whatever you feel comfortable with!

That is a very good question and I understand that in some cases, in order to move on, we need to clear space for new memories. I personally discarded pictures of my exes and it did help me move on but I also know that it's not always necessary to do so. Some people are able to look beyond the pictures and the goods to get closure. It's very personal and each couple has a different story. Do what feels right to you and what would help you to go through this situation, there is not right or wrong move as long as it fits with you.
