His Girlfriend Deleted Photos Of His Dead Wife Off His Phone So He Kicked Her Out And He’s Asking The Internet For Help
A 25-year-old man’s wife sadly passed away 19 months ago, and though it was very difficult to start dating again, he did meet someone.
He’s been dating his 23-year-old girlfriend for 7 months now, and everything has been going great up until this point.
She even moved in with him about 4 months ago, though after what recently happened, he thinks maybe it was all too rushed.
He admits that his girlfriend has been terrified of him cheating on her, and she is quite clingy due to her past.
He thought he was helping things by giving his girlfriend the password for his phone, but when she was looking through his things she discovered a photo of his wife.
He told his girlfriend she had passed away, and he thought she was ok with everything even if the conversation was awkward.
“Fast forward 3 days and I go to take a shower and leave my phone on charge in the bedroom. I come out to see my phone unlocked,” he said.
“Weird but I let it slide. Later in that day, I go through my photos to upload a new profile picture to Facebook. All the photos of my wife and me and her together are gone without a trace.”
He knew that his girlfriend had deleted these photos, so he brought it up to her. His girlfriend screamed at him, saying she was in his life so he needed to delete all of the “reminders” of his wife.

She said he was creepy for keeping them, especially the intimate ones.
He was so upset that he kicked her out of his apartment, then he went into his bedroom and just cried.
He fell asleep and when he got up, there were tons of texts and calls from his girlfriend and all her friends saying he was the worst.
He’s missing 95% of the photos he did have of his wife, and he feels like that’s an enormous piece of him that he can’t get back.
“I feel like she deleted a part of me as well,” he admitted.
Here’s what the internet had to say.
“The fact of the matter is that she is jealous of a dead person, because she knows full well that would that person still be alive, they wouldn’t be together.”
“I still have all the photos of all my exes on Facebook. I didn’t want to delete any because they’re a part of my past. My fiancé wouldn’t dream of deleting them, and it doesn’t seem to bother him at all.”
“Yes, and someone who “needs” the password to their partner’s data to feel secure is not ready to be in a relationship.”
“I have the passcode to my husband’s phone for emergency purposes, but I’ve never felt any urge to go through his photos or files ever.”
“She’s jealous of your late wife. As in the one person you can literally never ever cheat on her with.”
“She completely ruined memories that you cannot get back due to her own insecurities and need to control you and didn’t even apologize.”
“I’m so sorry you lost not only your wife, but so many pictures of her. I get how your girlfriend feels – living in the shadow of a spouse who has passed can be very difficult – but she took a permanent, irrevocable step as the only step.”
“Instead of asking you to keep the pictures on a flash drive, or make some other compromise where they were somewhere safe but weren’t on your phone, your girlfriend made a choice for you that can be incredibly damaging, and will likely mean more grieving.”
“While kicking her out is also a pretty drastic step, it’s understandable and at least undoable if you end up changing your mind. Whether or not you do should be entirely up to you.”
