To think he's begging it?

Just that really.

My partner is into his gym workouts big time. He's there at 5am, during his lunch break, & 7pm. Each for 2 hours. He's obsessed.

He used to be overweight (not massively) and about a year ago he got really involved in fitness with his friend and his life has been taken over by the gym.

Don't get me wrong he's done so well, he's been entering body physique competitions with bodybuilders and the like and has placed first in most of them out of about 180-200 competitors per time. His body is absolutely amazing and I am so proud of him for this, even though he is in extreme diets during this time which makes him moody, irritable, tired and generally difficult to be around. (Carb depletion, calorie reduction, white foods only, no sugar etc)

Although I massively support him in this (I make all of his prep meals for the week etc, pay for and attend all of his competitions, run through his stage performances etc) I am beginning to tire of his ego.
He has always been addicted to social media but now it is really taking the absolute piss.
Yesterday he told me he has PAID FOR followers on Instagram and Facebook. As in, he's paid £55 for 3,000 followers on insta and £59 for 2,000 Facebook friends.
All of these 'people' are obviously fake profiles; they are just to like his photos of him with no top on basically or his stage photos.
Now what I am asking here is am I completely unreasonable to be pissed off with him ?
Yes he has a great body, yes he looks good but he's trying to promote himself for the wrong reasons. He wants followers because he believes that if he has more then he is more popular. I feel like his ego has started to rule him and he doesn't understand why I am annoyed with him for not caring about the real life support from me and his family and the admiration we have for him. He is more bothered about pretend people on his social media than what we think.
Not only that but he has started following an extra 5,000 people this last 2 days, just anyone that he can, this includes profiles of naked women etc all to boost his profile.
I am more than supportive but I'm starting to feel like his body and his social media is more important than us and his family and his daughter more importantly.
We checked our battery usage and mine was 1.5 hours per week on instagram (I don't have Facebook) and his was 15.7hours a week on instagram and 22.5 hours a week on Facebook. Is he taking the piss or what?

Am I being unreasonable thinking he's just starting to become too obsessed with himself and his image or should I put up and shut up and just support him ?

Stop making his meals, stop paying for his competitions this is absolutely ridiculous!

He's choosing the gym and his ego over his family and you're facilitating his addiction. It does sound like a proper addiction now.

Is he using steroids? Living that lifestyle I'd be surprised if he wasn't.

He needs an ultimatum and a wake up call and you need to stop pandering to him by making all his meals etc

You can buy followers? Wow, I only have 50, perhaps I should get some to make me look popular 😳
