I 100% agree with this. Also, you can say someone doesn't have the "right" to be jealous, but a relationship is based on emotions - how you feel about each other IS the relationship (unless you are engaged/married). And people don't weigh both sides to figure if they have the right to feel something. If they are jealous or uncomfortable, they are, and as our partner you should do what you can to avoid that. Of course some people are unhealthily possessive and that's an issue of its own, but I would always do what I can to make sure my partner is happy. I'd rather take care of things BEFORE they become an issue, rather than after. I don't feel any particular gain from having memorabilia lying around.
When I ended things with the last guy I was with, I deleted his facebook, number, skype and the message history on fb. We had some nice times together, and I will remember these in my mind, but needing physical proof basically says that "sometimes I like to sit and look at these and reminisce on the past". Which really isn't appropriate when with someone new.

Regardless of how happy I was with a previous guy, it is completely overshadowed by what I have with the guy I'm currently seeing and the memories we hope to create.

Yeah, agreed in full.

i would... i wouldn't want potential/new bfs looking at that stuff... it'd be weird! i would however keep the pics saved on my computer before i deleted them from fb... memories are to keep, remember the happy times and move on.

Yes, you broke up but you should not remove the pictures. You must accept that there was a period in your life when you loved her/him. You may remove the pictures from facebook, but not from your life. I have not removed my pictures with my previous boyfriend. It is not awkward. I don't care what people think about my relationship with him, neither do I care about their opinion on me keeping those old pictures. It is my life, I choose what to do on my fb profile. Neither do I ask my boyfriend does that bother him. He is familiar with my past and he accepts me totally. After all,it is something that has ended, but it is a fact that it was part of my life. I would not change or pretend because of few opinions of the others.

this is very true but i don't see why people treat facebook as if it is their life... it's weird... if you remove something from facebook it doesn't mean you're trying to forget or remove that from your life it just means it's not something you want broadcasted to other people e.g. new boyfriends.

I totally agree with you. You are more than 100% right. I used to treat fb differently in the past, but as the time passes by I realize that I have started to behave like those on fb which I used to lough at in the past. The whole concept of networking has changed people's life.
