Like the title says, is this possible?
What I want to do is be able to remove a object reference from a list without the list's methods for doing so automatically calling the stored object's destructor.
Is there a way, maybe using a different list implementation, or do I have to resort to writing my own list class?
If so, is there any particular reason why you are not expected to be able to just remove something's reference from being present in a list?

So you want to remove an element from a list without it calling the destructor? I suppose you could make a list of pointers, and it will just remove the pointer.

Actually, pointers is what I have in there. If it were the actual objects it would've made a lot more sense to have them deleted

Could you post the code? If you have a list of pointers, removing a pointer from a list shouldn't destroy the original object.
