What does it mean when a woman you once dated removes all the pictures of her you liked from her Facebook page?

She wants to show you that she no longer cares what you do or don't do.

I think if you initiated the break up, you also should probably no longer be facebook friends. It's perfectly reasonable for her to get rid of the pictures you liked; you broke up with her, and you are, quite simply, no longer entitled to be looking at them.  If she's removed them, she's probably hurt by the breakup and looking for a way to let you know that, and doing a little bit of lashing out.  Even if you choose not to unfriend her (although she should probably do that to you), at the very least, stop looking at her Facebook page, and let her move on. Or realize maybe you made a mistake in breaking up with her.  In time, you'll both be able to be friends again, if you want - but while it's still fresh to either one of you, move on.  It could be that she's just cleaning up her Facebook page; but either way - STOP CHECKING IT OUT.

I don't know whether it's common for facebook, but by initiating the break-up you put forward your desire to no longer be involved with this woman as you once were, and that changes the nature of the relationship and the expectations you can have about it. Even if you feel it ended amicably, and you've remained friends on facebook, it doesn't necessarily follow that she feels positively about the break-up and is ready to have a real friendship with you now, or if she ever will. By blocking your access to the photos and/or taking them down, she is taking steps to try to recover from the break-up. Recovery time will depend on how long you dated and how strongly she felt about the relationship (it's generally about a month recovery time per year in a relationship).

Are you sure she removed the pictures? Perhaps she put them behind a wall and now that you are not really friends, you cannot see them. In any case, it means she probably doesn't want to be reminded of your interactions with her, which happens, sadly. People come in and out of our life, they are not all meant to stay. I wish you luck in your growth and journey.

hmm, let's see here, you broke up with her and she removed all the pictures you liked from facebook or instead removed your access to them. seems pretty obvious to me. maybe she doesnt want to be reminded about the person who broke up with her by looking at the pictures she knows that person liked. or maybe as a form of payback she has decided to remove those pictures that you liked knowing you would see that so that you'll feel some of her pain. regardless, the fact is that you broke up with her so what does it matter what she does with her pictures. you should probably be happy that you are even friends with her on Facebook at this point.
