-You've had a bad habit of compulsively sending embarrassing texts to someone who you're overly attached to.

-You're sick of the shame & guilt & you're sick of doing this to them. You want to start anew.

-You try to make a deal with the person and tell them that you will stop being so clingy if they will delete every conversation from every number.

-They PRETEND to go along with it.

-You can't prove that they really held up their end of the bargain so you want them to promise they did so you can feel comfortable.

-The person refuses to promise. You're not dumb, so you inquire them about why they refuse to promise and they evade answering questions.

-You: "Please don't lie & pretend you got rid of everything when you didn't. It'll break my heart."
Them: 🏥🚑💔

-You're sick of them playing around & being vague so you beg them to take this seriously.

-They FINALLY reveal that they're going to PRINT ALL OF THE MESSAGES OFF OF THEY'RE PHONE & then remove them from they're phone.

-You don't trust this person at all. You KNOW something will happen and then they will embarrass you with those messages they're holding onto & you're scared to even be around them because you believe they will abuse they're authority. They'll probably even embarrass you in front of others.

-You've expressed this fear to them and they've never given you ANY reassurance that this will never happen. They've told you in the past that they would read the messages to you if they "needed to prove a point".This would be ineffective because all you will do is cry and cover your ears begging them to stop reading but they don't care. All they care about is "proving a point".

You also NEED this person to delete the texts because holding onto them makes it hard for you to see a point in stopping. If they delete them, you'll never want to give them that kind of power again.
