Hi Ganb8te, sorry you are having one of those frustrating days, I hate those. You just want to smack some sense into them or at least find out what is "going on". Sadly, it won't work.
I too am a hoarder of messages and then deleted them in a fit of anger one day. Then it became easier to delete as I went along. The other day in a fit of anger I deleted almost all photos of him from my phone, even the cute ones where we look super happy.
There are some ways to download all the message history to the computer and then you can delete them from the phone but I think it is a bit complicated. I looked into it before. As usual with these things google is your best buddy!
Those of you talking about imessage I'm afraid that you can see their read time even if you change your settings so that they cannot see yours. I know this because these are my settings on my phone and I can see their read times. Maybe there is a way to change it but it isn't automatic. My best advice is to delete it. But I know that is hard!
Hope summer is treating you nicely Ganb8te! Those of us in the cold north are jealous, well, at least I am!
