Tommy:I’m sorry. No, I’m sorry. When it’s over, it’s over. You can’t move on if you’re still holding onto the past.

Me:Who said anything about holding on? You can move on without erasing that part of your life.

Tommy:I’m one hundred percent with Jess on this one. It needs to go.

Jessica:My boyfriend broke up with his exthree yearsago and he still has pictures of the two of them on holiday in Morocco plastered all over Facebook and Instagram. I don’t want to see them holding and kissing and I especially don’t want to read the lovey-dovey comments between them on those pics.

Me:But if I went to Morocco with my ex and he’s in most of the pictures I have from that trip, I’m not gonna delete them. That would be the only evidence I have of going to Morocco. Those are special memories. Also, deleting them doesn’t change the fact that he dated her. You have to accept that people have a past. You can’t just erase that chunk of his life. I think asking him to delete those pictures is an unreasonable request, Jess.

Tommy:But if he’s with Jessica now, I don’t see why he doesn’t want to delete the pictures.

Jessica:Exactly.
