"Changing your SIM card after you get married is mandatory. Why would you want all your exes, all the guys you should to flirt with, to have access to you now that you are somebody else's wife. It is disruptive," she said in the video.

She also stressed how one can not have their previous partners viewing their status, commenting with fire emojis and hearts emojis when they look good. @thesweetpeachfactory said women have no business staying in contact with their exes.

The woman explained how it can be done by saying:

"The quickest way to remedy this is once you know that this man is really serious about me. I'm about to get married. change that SIM card. Deleting the numbers doesn't help because they can still reach out to you. Change your SIM card, be completely inaccessible, and make sure that nobody can reach you except for the people who matter, the people who add value to your life and the people who will not compromise your marriage."

@thesweetpeachfactory went on to say that a lot of marriages are being compromised due to individuals keeping in touch with their exes.

"The only person who is allowed to flirt with you and have full access to you is your husband. The exes are an ex for a reason. Do not keep them around, do not keep in touch with them, and don't entertain them. Some of you are still thriving on your exes paying attention to you even though you are somebody else's wife."

The video prompted mixed reactions, with some people supporting the notion of a fresh start, while others questioned whether this was a necessary step in today’s digital age. Some felt that the practice could be seen as extreme or unnecessary, while others appreciated the focus on privacy and self-care.
