'A boyfriend box': Women discuss what to do with ex-partner photos and memorabilia during the era of infinite access to media

Remember the early 2000s when you would bring your digital camera everywhere with you? Or even further back when you had a film camera glued to your eye? With those, you only had a certain amount of photos you could take: Digital cameras only had so much memory space and film cameras only had so many shots. So when a relationship ended, you maybe had one photo album of memorabilia to get rid of. But now, you can basically take infinite photos and video and screen shots and voice messages etc.! That means you're going to have way more than an albums worth of heartbreak. Women on Reddit have gathered to discuss what to do now with all of this access to infinite media after a breakup? Do you keep the thousands of pieces of content you have of your past relationship or do you delete them? Do you really want to lose that many memories of your life? Or maybe it's inappropriate to keep them once you find a new somebody? What do you think?
