Keep ignoring her.

It's better for you, and it'll make her insane.
The latter is just a bonus.

I'm impressed with your fortitude.

With comments such as "So much better now!" and other snide remarks.

Admittedly it does hurt, but I won't stoop to her level.
Why are you not blocking her?

Initially I was hoping for some kind of conciliatory response I guess. Always hoping that perhaps after the fire & brimstone breakup last week, we could work something out that would build bridges and to try again.

But now it seems she has made her decision, and I guess at some point this weekend I will block her completely.

That is a bit naughty after being together for so long

I would have sent a picture back with me and a cat!...." So much better now! "....

You're a better person than me

Well I've finally blocked her on my email addy and moby numbers. While I was doing the latter I flicked through some photo albums on my phone, and noticed a whole raft of photos of us during the early years of our relationship. Have to be honest and admit I did cry for a few minutes earlier today as those happier memories came flooding back!

Even though I have blocked her, I still don't know about deleting those pics? Once they've gone I'll have nothing left to remember her by other than my own deep-seated memories.

But I guess if I do want to move on, I need to cut all ties with the past. But that's easier said than done

If they're nice photos of YOU then I'd keep them as it shows you in a happy time of your life. It might be painful now but in later life and looking back ........

I've still got photos of me and my ex in Marbella and yeah it's " strange " looking at them but we were great together and I was happy ( plus I got a gorgeous tan! lmao ).

I miss the old Kodak " throw away camaras " pictures as you can put them somewhere and forget about them for years lol.

To be honest everyone reacts differently but you have shown great strength and positivity throughout the ordeal ( Better than I did when we broke up )

Well I've kept three and hard-deleted the rest. Just can't quite force myself to delete the remaining three because they do have special significance for a number of reasons.

But then I guess I will never truly "let go" and move forward if I keep looking at the past? I wonder how other people deal with breakups? Specifically keeping things like old photos for sentimental reasons? Or is just best to cut the cord for good?

In my experience, the process is a mix of both.

You are still VERY early in that process, though, so for your sake it would be better to focus on the moving forward piece while placing the sentimental reflection on the back burner, in another room, where you can't access it very often.

Put the photos on a thumb drive and stash it away. Delete them from the easy access on your phone.

As the girls have said put it on something then hide it

To be honest the best way to get over someone is by meeting someone else ...... I'm guessing it's too soon for you to commit of course but just being out and about with friends for example is great and whilst out you know just how easy to meet someone and so forth ....

Again you won't get over her straight away but having someone else in your mind is a great way to move on
