so i had an ipad and would exchange emails with other ipad kids around 5-6 so we could talk, facetime, make plans together. i had a crush on L in kindergarten. i forgot exactly how it started, but he liked me too, and in first grade he came with a best man, flower girls, and a hula hoop as the wedding ring, got "married" it was kid play, we just forgot about it. didnt have anything going at any other time in are life. i like to keep texts as such from people like him, and a few other mostly male friends from a particularly young age texts. i did have one i guess you could call ex from when i was 16 texts saved, that had nothing overly sexual in them that i even in the beginning asked my current partner, J if he was comfortable with me keeping them because id like to look back and read what i said, how i reacted to certain things, overall how ive changed over time, i feel it would just be interesting to be 80 years old and basically read a live conversation from an old different time in your life. at first he was fine with it. there was a guy who added me on snapchat who i just chatted with occasionally, who i was never sexual/romantic with, but at times i sensed some flirtation that i ignored. he was uncomfortable with me having male friends especially ones i didnt grow up with, or single ones, and i could understand why. i told the guy that with me in a relationship now i cant talk to you anymore and blocked him. but he kept finding ways to reach back out, about 3 times he did. after the 3rd time he did, J did a sweep of my phone, had me make a new snap, had his new numbers blocked as well, and ended up saying that i couldnt have the saved texts with any of my old male friends or ex (the ex i understood and did delete) but i was very upset and found it ridiculous that i couldnt save the texts with the other guys from when i was 7-9 years old. they werent romantic or anything besides the guy i "married" but i still dont see that as a problem. he said that he didnt want me reminiscing other men i was involved with romantically or had crushes on. even though i told him that not all of them were more the friendships at that time. he said he couldnt believe me and didnt want those texts in his face, that i could use them to spark something with them again. he also said if they werent old saved texts and i was currently talking to them casually occasional it would have been ok? i just dont understand. did i do something wrong?
