Remove/Change Reachable at email address

My ex is listed as two of the reachable contacts in my Apple ID account. I cannot change these myself? In the apple id log in it does not give me the option to delete or change. Can you provide direction on how to change these? I can see in previous messages that a link was provided to change Apple ID to other users who have the same issue. I don't want to change my Apple ID but the reachable email addresses.
