To think Dss is trying to tell me something?

I'll be brief.

20 year old dss added me to his Instagram account. I assumed he was just being friendly.
Since then he has posted a number of pictures of him and his mother with the hashtags #mother and #family etc.
the latest one was a Saturday night when he's meant to stay here, he'd told dP that he couldn't come as he was too busy with college work and then posted a picture of him and his mum saying they'd been on a night out at the pub together and were 'wrecked'. Again hashtag #family. Is he doing this for my benefit do you reckon?? Or am I thinking too much of it? I was never the OW before anyone asks!

Well, she is his family, and I guess he loves her better than he does you, which is pretty much normal. So maybe he wants to show her off, because he is proud?
Where is the problem?

Do you get on normally? It does sound like you are reading too much into it, but if that is because your relationship is difficult, then it makes sense to try and fix that to allay your fears rather than trying to interpret his instagram posts.

I suppose you could check his photos from before he added you, to see if he uses the same #family.

That's if you can be bothered.

You say that he's posted pictures of this nature since adding you. Do you mean that he never posted such pictures prior to that?

CandyClouds81 · 28/04/2015 17:41

Oh there is no jealousy, we're not close and don't really have a relationship other than pleasantrys when he's here. It just comes across that he's doing it for my benefit and don't really understand why, I've never shown any desire to replace his mum, nor would I want to.

No I had a quick look on his pics and he never did it before adding me. I'm not too concerned to be honest! Just wondered what people thought!

If he never did it before he's a weirdo. Ignore.

You're over thinking this.
It's nice that you are in the loop.

He obviously thinks about you and thinks you'd like to see pictures of him.
That's what I reckon, anyway.
