So basically a while back, my ex broke up with me, and I had taken a toll out of me because I really loved him and then all of a sudden he just became a total jerk to me which honestly sucks but real reason we’re here is because for the first time and I don’t know how long I finally deleted the pictures of us. It was really hard because he was probably one of the best boyfriends I had ever had, but I finally got rid of the pictures which is a A positive step I really miss him a lot, but there’s not a lot I can do. I know getting rid of the pictures even though I didn’t want to have to be done and it was for my sake. Every time I looked at it, I would cry and think about all the happy memories, so I looked at the picture for literally two seconds and deleted it. I didn’t look at it any longer because if I did, then I would’ve never gotten rid of the photo. I’m still pretty sad that I got rid of it, but I know it was for the best still to this day I feel heartbroken even though we broke up two months ago kind of sucks but I’m in the right path and I know I did good for me. It just still bums me out.
Ending a relationship can be challenging, particularly when you still have feelings. It is important to recognize that your emotions are valid, and taking care of yourself is important during this period. Deleting photos can be an important part of the healing journey. While it is natural to experience sadness and cry, remember that healing will gradually become more manageable. Focus on taking each day as it comes. Engaging with family and friends can provide valuable support throughout this journey. With time, it is hopeful that everything will fall into place.
It sounds like you’ve been going through a really tough time after your breakup, and it’s completely normal to feel sad and heartbroken, especially when you had strong feelings for your ex. Letting go of those pictures is a big step, and it shows that you’re taking care of yourself, even if it was really hard to do.
It’s okay to miss him and to feel a mix of emotions right now. Breakups can be really painful, and it takes time to heal. Remember, it's okay to feel sad about the happy memories you shared, but it’s also important to focus on your own well-being and happiness moving forward.
It’s great that you recognize this decision was for your own sake. Celebrate the small victories, like deleting those pictures, because they show you’re making progress. Surround yourself with supportive friends and do things that make you feel good. Healing takes time, but you’re on the right path, and it’s okay to take it one step at a time. You’re doing well, even if it doesn’t always feel that way. Take care of yourself!
