My bitch ex wife updated her google pfp and now every time i open up the messenging app i have to see her face. I clicked on her name and pressed the removed button, but it seems to reload itself every day.

    If you don’t have need to contact her, remove her as a contact.

    If you have shared responsibilities such as children, update the picture in your contacts and figure out a way to work through the anger and hurt because if you don’t, you’ll end up alienating yourself from them. If you have non-human shared responsibilities, do so for your benefit and that of your future partner(s) - keeping it alive by habitually referring to them derogatorily will just self-condition you to hold onto it and live in your past. I recommend a mental health professional like a licensed therapist but that’s not for everyone.

      Okay, i understand that you are coming from a place of wanting to help, and you didn’t need to do that, so i appreciate that aspect of this response.

      But dude you pulled a lot of context out of a very short post. I’m asking how to change a picture and you recommended me seek mental help.

    One other solution to throw into the ring - delete the contact and re-enter it as a “phone only” contact. That way it’s not connected to her Google services whatsoever.

      Thats a good idea, and ill keep that option as a last measure type deal. Hopefully editing the contacts app fixes it. Thanks dude!

    It’d be nice if you edited out the b**** part because while you have the right to those feelings, most of us likely don’t want that negativity here and what you’re looking for really is a technical solution.
