Deleting old photos

What are people’s thoughts about deleting old photos and texts from ex’s? So just going through camera roll and I noticed I still have photos of previous 2 ex’s. Not going into detail about how they ended and what the relationships were like. I’m finally in a healthy relationship in which I can see a future with her. So should I just delete the photos? In regards to the text messages I still keep old texts from friends from years ago have trouble of letting go but should I just delete both? Part of my brain is like maybe the ex’s kept there photos and texts.

Don’t you think you have to in order to be respectful of your current one especially considering the fact you see a future with this one? It’s part of the process of forgetting about it and moving on. Letting things go and move on. What’s not meant to be for you isn’t for you in this case these two aren’t so it’s pointless to keep photos and texts received from them on your phone or you’ll just think about them more.

Yeah I get that. Guess it’s hard when there are lot of memories shared there whether there were good or bad it’s a history. I do want to move on but hard it’s hard to fully letting go of them.

It’s part of life my friend. When you have someone else even the ones that were closer to you yet are no longer within your life relationship wise you have to let go remember at the end of the day your partner is your priority and focus you’d be wanting to give everything ensuring that your fully giving affection and the right amount of attention and equally everything is kept fair to an extent.

You are right my friend it is part of life. A history that once was but it’s not my life anymore. I do want to give my current partner my full energy and attention so thank you. I just wanted to know people’s thoughts about it and what they would do.

Plus think it this way don’t put yourself through the struggles and negativity of your past like why would you as you rightfully said you won’t dwell to an extent of how the other 2 relationships went but if it did not go in your favour why do you want to go through the pain, heartbreak or emotion left behind it. You don’t deserve it man.

Yeah that makes sense, as when I looked at the photos I had thoughts of the all the what ifs and could have beens even if I’m very happy in this current relationship I still had those thoughts which is normal. I guess it’s the dilemma of I know I don’t need those photos/texts anymore they serve no purpose but it’s a history my history with people that I did love and still have love for them and only ever wish them well

Exactly as you said. You reflect upon it and think you know if this happened then this would have been. It’s completely normal yet you don’t want be holding that grudge let alone be questioning yourself even if you were at fault within the past.

Yeah you’re right. It’s a past that I cannot change but to move forward with my current partner I don’t need these photos/texts as things to keep reminding me of the past. I already have the memories with both ex’s good the bad and the inbetween and if they fade that is fine because I’ll be creating new ones with my current partner

Yeah that’s the one you’ll probably deep down be looking forward to and I’m sure you yourself would hope be the best yet so think it that way.

Thank you my friend, it has given me alot to think about

The future does not delete the past. I think it can be harmless memorabilia and no one should expect it to be deleted

Of course it can. Memories outweigh the past.
