Husband has blocked me on social media?!

Apologies in advance if I'm just being incredibly stupid or naive or paranoid! I'm not sure if i'm mad and unreasonable or not!

So I have just gone to upload a photo onto instagram, and tag my husband in it as it is a picture of our sons. I couldn't tag him.
I thought maybe he has deleted his instagram account (despite the fact that he uses it alot) so I searched for him and it came up that the account is private and I need to request to follow. (I couldn't see anything, not his bio or how many photos/followers he has)
I then logged out of insta and searched for him, and it came up that the account is private but did state how many posts/followers he has, as well as his bio.

The bio is another worry. It used to say "happily married father of two", now it just says "father of two".

Am I wrong to worry?! I don't know what to do. I haven't confronted him as we are both at work and he will just change it and make me out to be a nutter!

Grounds for divorce - 'Mumsnet said LTB'
So you're going to change not only your life but that of your kids' just because of some vague suspicions and because a load of highly-biased strangers on social media said he's up to no good? Not your smartest move ever...

I think the issue is not really Instagram. The OP is clearly almost sure her H is up to no good or she wouldn't be suspicious in the first place (I wouldn't, genuinely.)

Brainmelt · 12/10/2018 16:02

The OP has made it clear that she has made up her mind and has politely implied a goodbye to this thread several times now. We should respect it.

To be fair I have blocked my OH on whatsapp, out of sheer pettiness in an argument even though I’m sat downstairs and he’s hiding out upstairs, and we’re quibbling through messages!

We’re not on any SM though, so haven’t been in the position to block his relatives but I don’t think,in my passive aggression, I’d think to do it unless they were directly involved somehow.

Can you remember the names of the women he’s blocked and search for them?

I’m not sure how IG works, whether older public communication would still be there, if he’s blocked them. Maybe someone else can confirm that.

The hand shaking thing reminds me of when I was 14, my mum wanted to go through my phone and I was desperately trying to delete all the messages about alcohol and boys before handing it over! It made me think that’s what he was so nervous about, expecting you’d want to go through his phone.

Good luck, with whatever happensFlowers

My first thought was that someone he knew had an incriminating photo on him up somewhere.

fifithefoof · 12/10/2018 16:23

Good luck whatever you do op. Thanks

HeyPesto55 · 12/10/2018 16:34

Did you ask him, OP?

TattyCat · 12/10/2018 16:38

Hmmm... the shaking is how my DH got caught. I wouldn't have reacted to a specific text message if he hadn't immediately started violently shaking and swallowing hard. That told me everything I needed to know, so I told him to start talking.

I wasn't wrong.

HandlebarTash81 · 12/10/2018 16:44

@Rangerider He had no grounds for being angry. He’d only be angry at that point if he had something to hide. So the point still stands. Do you know a lot of people that shake with rage during a supposedly calm conversation with their wife?

RangeRider · 12/10/2018 17:22

Oh I don't know, he could be angry because his wife is making a big deal about having been blocked after an argument and obviously doesn't trust him. That would piss most people off, particularly when they'd done nothing wrong.

Storm4star · 12/10/2018 17:26

@RangeRider
OP just stated that she had made up her mind. That's all. You're making assumptions. People will give their honest opinions. Just because it doesn't align with your's does not make it wrong. Only the OP knows the entirety of her relationship.

OP, I know you aren't posting again but, if you do see this, I hope everything works out for you.

FullTimeYummy · 12/10/2018 17:43

I must say I am impressed with the OPs level headed approach to this, especially in the face of the hysterical comments on this thread.

Best of luck OP

iris81 · 26/10/2018 10:20

Hi OP was wondering how you're getting on, hope all is well! X

Is that an advert? 🤔

Blanchedupetitpois · 30/11/2018 22:32

Deffo an advert. Whoever is paying for it should ask the poster to at least try and sound like a real person.
