😯 My boyfriend would delete all our photos every month, then ask me to take new ones with him: at first, it seemed strange to me, until I discovered the truth.
Alex was my brother’s best friend. I had known him since childhood, and we got along very well. Over time, I didn’t even notice how we had fallen in love.
We started dating, and I liked him a lot, but he had a strange habit: every month, he would delete all the photos of us together.
The first time I noticed it, I felt very hurt. I even thought he didn’t take me seriously. I didn’t understand why he would ask me to take selfies with him if he was just going to delete them afterward.
Over time, I simply got used to this strange habit, telling myself that maybe he didn’t want to keep the old photos.
I told myself everyone has strange habits, and this was his… until the day I finally discovered the truth.

One day, out of curiosity, I looked at his computer and made a surprising discovery.
He wasn’t actually deleting our photos… he was just moving the ones where I wasn’t smiling.
My heart sank, and I decided to talk to him about it.
When he explained, I finally understood.
Before passing away, his mother had lost her memory and, in her confusion, had advised him to keep only the happy faces of his loved ones.
Since then, he had been afraid of reliving that pain.
He wanted to preserve only the bright memories, the ones that made people smile and warmed the heart.
So, every month, he kept only the photos where I was smiling.
This gesture, which I had found strange and distant, was actually an act of love and protection.
He collected my smiles like a treasure, fearing the day he might forget too… and lose those precious moments.
