When memories can live forever online , there ’s bound to be family relationship emergence , so we enlist our favorite dearest Dr. , Debby Herbenick , to share some advice . The inquiry : When it ’s all over , who gets detainment of those divvy up digital memory board ?
We humans hump our photos . Thanks to digital camera , we take thousands more photos than we ever did before — some cute , some funny and others , quite shocking .
Often in kinship , people upload their photos to Facebook , Flickr , Twitter , Kodak Gallery or other photo share-out sites . Other time , they never forget a person ’s headphone or photographic camera .
While the photos are of a twosome ’s shared lifetime together , they are technically the word protect holding of only one person . When two people split , the one - sided ownership of the photos may become achingly apparent .
On the surface this is simply a permit issue . But all ’s fair in love and war and , at a deeper degree , the married person who uploaded the photos may rule that bydeleting photos or exchange their ex ’s power to view them , they can effectively control their x ’s power to “ remember ” or have access to these memories .

If you find yourself block , you’re able to politely ask for spherical entree to the photos or to specific ones you liked , but you ca n’t squeeze the issue ( nor do you need to desperately track down your X over megapixels ) .
If you find yourself the owner of said photos , it is indeed your right field to restrict approach but is that how you want to end thing ? If you want to delete the photos as part of moving on , consider giving your ex-husband fair admonition , so that he or she can remove any exposure before you get rid of them from your Facebook or Flickr . And , for the passion of kindness everywhere , please do n’t keep photo of your shared children or pets away from an ex . Breakups and divorce are hard enough without both parties have bonnie accession to these types of retentivity .
Going forward , I tend to intimate that people pull through copies of photos they want while matter are still honest . Save upload picture to your own hard drive , demote your iPhone photograph or ask your partner to air them to you in the moment or when you ’re lying in bed the next forenoon look back over them .
Even if you ca n’t imagine a time when you and your dear will be fight down over photos , you might find yourself — somewhere down the road — wish you could fawn over the computer memory or , alternatively , CatPaint your X into the Cat Lady you always knew she was .
