Is it normal to keep photos of your ex?
Yes, it’s normal to keep photos of an ex. They can just be part of your past; what matters is whether looking at them feels healthy for you now.
Lots of people keep photos of an ex, sometimes because they’re attached to good memories, don’t bother sorting through old pictures, or simply don’t see a reason to delete them. Keeping them doesn’t automatically mean you’re still in love or hoping to get back together.
People have different comfort levels: some delete everything after a breakup, while others leave the photos tucked away or mixed in with the rest of their camera roll. If you’re in a new relationship, it may help to talk openly if the photos are causing tension. And if you find yourself looking at them constantly and feeling stuck or miserable, you can move them out of sight—or delete them if that feels right.
