Well I want to tell you that whose relationship do you value more?

Number one, number two is what is the reason they are asking you to delete the contact?

Have you had inappropriate communication with that person?

Is it necessary to be in touch with that person?

What are you gaining from the relationship or the connection or the contact with that

particular person?

Now if you've come together in marriage with someone, surely they are important.

Now if that is the case, then surely being the best to your spouse would mean if they

requested and recommended or asked you to delete a contact or to stop communicating with

a particular person, then you would definitely take that seriously and if you didn't have

for their sake.
