Pictures are memories. You can delete pictures but you will always remember the times you had. Eventually deleting the pictures would be fine. Out of a fresh relationship however, I find it best to let things settle before removing any valuables

Meh. I don't know if you aren't in them why do you have them in the first place? We're all fab and should be in all pics

Funny one, this one. If the relationship did not end well (for instance you were in an abusive relationship but managed to get out with your self-esteem intact) and pictures of your ex might trigger certain reactions from you then please do delete them. If otherwise it ended with a mutual agreement from both parties (for instance you liked each other but family or religion did not allow for you to be together) you can keep one or two for telling a story in the future.

I say no. Because those are good memories. Why would you want to get rid of them. When your older and have kids you might want to show them.

That is very personal choice, but if you have beautiful memories , keep & treasure them, people change but memories don't .!

I have deleted all of my photos of my ex. The point is to move on from that part of your life and evolve into the next version of yourself. To become better and stronger, and I believe that you can do that best if you are free of distractions and anything from that part of your life that might come back.

It depends, but I would consider it as an option. When my girlfriend broke up with me my feelings were crushed. I never felt something as horrible as that. It took month for me to come over her, but deleting her pictures was a major step in the right direction. Actually it was not me who deleted the pictures, it was my best friend. She deleted them when I left my phone on the table and I am so so thankful for that now. If the pictures trigger you all the time and you can't stop looking at them you should consider deleting all of them. It can help you. It helped me. Have a great day :)

Yes you should. It contains all your memories which are not going to help you at all in the future. You need to forget, forgive and move on with your life. Keeping any memory of your ex is not going to help you with it.

Pictures of him are only going to keep you hooked on to him. That's what I learnt after my breakup. It did take me a while to get myself to do it but when I did, it was certainly liberating. I suggest you do it
