Friend snubbing me - my DP keeps liking all her facebook posts - AIBU to not want that?

I'm a little embarrassed. We had no falling out, obviously she wants to distance herself and that's okay. I've tried quite a few times now to get together and got a mix of silence and chilly responses. Hey ho, people grow apart.

My DP met this friend once and we all appeared to get on. Friend added DP on facebook.

AIBU to ask my DP to not like her posts so much? I'm hesitant about making a request like that in one way, but in another I think it makes me look like I'm trying to chase after her/ stay chummy via my partner?

I just want a dignified retreat now. I'm quite hurt, have no idea what happened.

AIBU though? I'm pre menstrual so prepared to accept I may be Blush

I would not like it either.

I don't particularly care if that is immature but if I was hurt because my friend was distancing herself from me I would be uncomfortable with my husband being friendly with her.

Agree with gallivanting. Why a grown man is wasting time liking posts of a women he only met once is beyond me. Make sure he knows she's cooled your friendship and ask that he do the same out of solidarity with you, his actual wife! Sounds like low level interest at the least.

Surely everyone by now knows Facebook etiquette is you don't like multiple posts all the time like some kind of weirdo. So if you do do that, you're a) weird, b) over the top, c) madly in love with the person or want them to notice you and are doing it badly... or basically, d) being weird.

HIM being weird - or acting like a technologically challenged/social media newbie on FB, coupled with HER going all weird and distant...

That don't look good.

Feeling weird conflict of being relieved it's not just me who wouldn't like this, but uncomfortable because why is it even happening?

I am fairly certain there's been no affair though. But I don't know why DP bothers liking everything she posts.

How long have you been with dp? Does he do a lot of post liking generally?

It would annoy me. I agree it's weird. Is he weird in other ways?

gamerchick · 17/03/2017 23:12

I wouldn't hesitate at all tbh. In that scenario I'd be asking him why he's so interested in my now ex friend so much on social media. But I would have had the friend conversation with him already and the feelings of being perplexed, because we're a team.

Then I would delete her.

Your spidey senses are tingling and no matter who says you are being unreasonable or being a child will dampen them.

Inappropriate level of interest, unless they were actually friends. Maybe he's creeping her out.Grin

TheNaze73 · 17/03/2017 23:25

Most FB posts like this, I normally think FFS, get a grip however, his loyalty should be with you

YANBU

The only time I've had a bloke repeatedly liking my posts said bloke later confessed he wanted to have an affair with me. I declined politely. Be wary. YANBU x

economydrivegirl · 17/03/2017 23:36

I'm going to bring it up later and have the conversation.

Might sound daft but it's really only today that I've noticed this seems off and is bothering me. I always noticed all the post liking but shrugged it off as coincidence, but it really is most of the things she posts. There are a few that go unliked, but not many!

economydrivegirl · 17/03/2017 23:42

I'm sorry, totally lost, what's the Steve Jones thing?
