Is it bad to reread old text messages?
While many people do it, looking back over old conversations can be painful, and actually slow down the progress of getting over an ex, she warns. “It’s a bad idea to do so if you’re still not over the relationship, because that can set you back and undo a lot of the work you’ve done on healing,” Chong says.
Do guys ever reread texts?
Yes, I believe there are men who reread their text messages, especially if they are still “pining” for their exes. There are also men who delete everything associated with their exes because they are angry or feel it is too painful to keep reminders around.
