So I'm nearly divorced, just waiting on the absolute part. New girlfriend and it's serious. I'm older by 20 years and Catholic, she's Muslim, traditional family.

New girlfriend has recently asked me to delete all my old photos from social media. I only have FB. Coincidentally all my photos from the last 20 years were corrupted and lost while ironically backing them up. So FB is the only record I have left of the last 20 years.

She says seeing old pictures of me with someone else is hurtful to her and I would delete them if I cared about her feelings. This is also apparently a deal breaker for our future together.

I told her don't look. Which she also said was hurtful.

So, am I being mean, thoughtless and hurtful?
Is she being manipulative and controlling?
Something else?

I would say it’s manipulative and a red flag that she’s going to be hard work or jealous in the future.

At the same time I would probably download copies and then remove them if it means that much to her.

Yes she is. What next? The clothes you wear, how you look, what church you attend?

Imagine if it were you telling her to do this!

Run for the hills.

I would suggest Block her on FB, change your name to something daft and tell her you have deleted FB.
