I know that your just trying to help support your girl here, but this is like the worst advice I've ever heard.
Burning photos and anything that reminds you of your ex isn't going to help you move on. Maybe just dont keep them somewhere visable. Get a shoe box and put it away somewhere.
Moving on happens by finding your own strength. I find the best way to move on is just by keeping myself busy. Maybe try picking up a new hobby (take a pottery class or something), spend lots of time wtih your girlfriends and surround yourself with people that you trust and that love you.
Looking back on things, there were so many instances that I wished I had kept more pictures and keepsakes of ex's. Getting rid of everything they ever gave you or whatever is just a cop out way of trying to pretend that they were never in your life. Why would you ever want to think that ?
I might not get along with some of my ex's but I dont hate them enough to pretend that they never impacted my life somehow.
