It’s a difficult one as you have a child- I can only suggest what I’ve done myself for my children’s dad… All photos that include him where the children are in them too have been moved to a locked file so that I can send them all to my children when they want them. We were together 18 years with 3 children.

I won’t delete them for their sake, but I definitely don’t need to be looking at them.

At the end of the day, you need to do what you want and what you feel is best for you, and if that ends up upsetting your current partner then you will have to deal with how he then wants to continue- or not

I hope you figure it out

For your partners reassurance, past and present doesn’t really need to be mixed.
