Is it universally accepted once someone breaks up with you, you delete all risque photo gifts? What if they were sent after the break up?

I would definitely delete something if someone asked me to. Which I wouldn't do if they were like, "remember that sweater I got you, toss it out." So there's clearly something different to me about this gift. And I might be convinced it's a moral thing to delete after break up but... I don't have a good argument why?

I've never sent someone a risque photo, they've only been sent to me unsolicited, so why is it on me to delete it? What's the thought process?

Googling it, there's definitely people who agree with you. But I didn't run across a reason other than people not understanding why someone would want to keep any picture of an ex.

Thanks for sharing this thoughtful piece and sorry we don't live in a kinder world.
