Page 5 | Is it reasonable to ask a woman to change her profile picture?

NewmanintownRob · 2024-11-25T13:03:04+00:00

I have someone I am seeing and she has a picture of her and her deceased husband as her main profile picture on Facebook. I keep in touch with a lot of family and friends through Facebook, but I’m not obsessed by it. However, she has been a widow for four years and I am fully supportive of her sons and family and her deceased husband’s family. However, trying to friend her on Facebook and get her starting to learn more about my family is challenging. if she just simply had a picture of herself, it would be easier - her family and friends know about me and her, most of my family and friends know about me and her. I have a picture of her in my apartment and on my phone - she has no pictures of me in-home or on her phone. I’m trying to advance this to the next level and I’m starting to get worried that she isn’t wanting that. I am giving a time but it does make me a little uncomfortable. AIBU ?

So OP.

Your lady friend still has her late husband's ATV?

And you don't like that?

I’m trying to think of famous widows, to try and get a picture of it all. So far I’ve got Victoria (queen), twanky and that lassie with the big hood who wants me to buy insurance. To be fair, they would all seem the type to have slack Facebook admin.

Is he dating Christopher Biggins - it is panto season....?

"Unalive" is a word with which I am familiar.

It is an adjective.

"Unalived" is not, however.

I beg to differ.
I've counted 8,367,844,092 mentions so far.

TheShellBeach · 02/12/2024 19:23

And you're STILL going ON and ON about this lady being a widow.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

MistressoftheDarkSide · 02/12/2024 19:22

The main vibe I get is "ego" and "conquest" and "marking territory".

And wanting to "call all the shots".

You obviously do not use social media - unalived is ok, dead or death is forbidden and can get you banned. Thanks for the comment though !

WTF.

Your posts get weirder and weirder @NewmanintownRob

Another man’s toys - like ATV and moped and other things that he liked that she doesn’t really use or care for except they were his. or his basement bar man cave - all cool, but it gives me the vibe that I’m in another man’s house. She did not collect all those things and build all those things - and she mostly doesn’t use it except when the kids come over. Again, I can give it time - in a few months I may want to have more, and it might be something she cannot give.

You really are a strange little chap. Simple as.

Anyone else thinking our man here may have a fetish for a certain word? I'm imagining him rubbing his trousers Reeves and Mortimer style* as he groans it out.

"Widooooooooow"!!!

‘Unalived’ ‘You obviously don’t know anything about social media’ Nobody over 15 say these things do they? Do grown men say these things? That’s going straight on my low-level-ick list if they do. Plus the constant repeat of ‘widow’. Something’s off here, like a deliberate attempt to be irritating (another thing in common with 15 year old boys when butting up against perceived female authority)

Well you are, they were married, he died she stayed in the home.

MurdoMunro · 02/12/2024 19:14

Well aware that ‘unalived’ is used on TikTok. But this isn’t TikTok, it’s a moderated site for grown ups. When my nephew was 15 he used to believe that the places he went to online were the whole internet, that the internet itself was invented about 5 years ago and that anyone over 25 could not possibly understand anything about it.

He knew the word ‘arsebandit’ (long story) annoyed his mum. Found himself HIL-arious saying it constantly.

MistressoftheDarkSide · 02/12/2024 19:02

I'm still convinced this thread is being written by a bot on acid. "Unalived" indeed....

Never been quite so determined to embrace my crazy cat widow status because if this is the calibre of men in my age bracket, the single life is infinitely preferable.
