Husband has blocked me on social media?!

[LondonMummy1987]

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!

Yes he has blocked you. When someone blocks you on Insta you can see the profile but like you say no followers or bio.
When you signed out and looked for him it wasn't through your account so you could see his followers and bio like any other person can who searches for him (other than you)
The bio is also another worry. Maybe he blocked you so you couldn't see that he changed it.

That seems really odd. Culling his social media of mutual friends and family seems like a move someone makes when preparing for a bigger move.

I have changed my privacy settings a few times on IG. It doesn't stop anyone already following you from seeing stuff only means people can't follow you without permission.
It's well dodgy imo he's hiding something :(

None of his family are on instagram. He only has his friends that I don't know or have on insta

Could he have been hacked?

Thanks everyone for your responses. You're all just saying what i'm thinking to be honest! thanks all, will have to do some digging x

I second making a fake account or maybe try and borrow an attractive friends one he may not know??

Oh just saw your update about removing family and mutual friends too! Doesn't look good especially with the bio change.
Has there been any big change in your marriage recently?

Well, you seem to be assuming the worst so presuming you have good reason to I would keep schtum, prepare yourself practically (i.e legal advice) and then ask.

Surely the bigger problem is that you can’t ask him about it without thinking he is going to make out you’re crazy?

My then fiance did this because a) he didn't want the girls he was chatting to/trying to hook up with to know about me b) didn't want me knowing about them. Made me think I was crazy for wondering why I was blocked....found out later it was because he'd already shagged one of them, and the friend of another.

Maybe I worded that wrong, I meant more that he would deny it and make out like I am overreacting

Doesn’t look good.

I think you need to casually approach it by saying you were on Instagram and noticed that dh’s profile had accidentally dropped off your account. Don’t go in accusing. Play the innocent. See what,his reaction is.

This doesn't sound good at all OP.

I meant more that he would deny it and make out like I am overreacting

Isn't that gaslighting?

Yeah I'd be inclined to give benefit of doubt on the privacy thing in case he changed something and hadn't got round to re-adding or approving (showing my ignorance with how Instagram works here!), but to also purposefully go in and remove 'happily married' from his bio at the same time is not good.

Surely, though, he must know you'll find it if it's been done on purpose if you tag each other on Instagram etc.?

Did you actually send a request though too? I certainly would have

Surely if you've been blocked you wouldn't be able to find him at all while logged in? Some loopy woman I used to be friends with blocked me and I can't find her account at all, yet my friend can on hers.

Is he on any other social media? Could you check if he's removed you from those also?

I agree with previous posters about maybe cat fishing him with a fake profile of a hot blonde!

As PP say when you change security on Insta you still remain a friend. You have to block them to unfriend them and keep them blocked or unblock. Which then you'd have to request to be a friend again.
I've done this with a few people as I didn't want them following me.

I cant find him on insta even in a search, I could only find him by looking on one of my old photos and seeing the tagged names and clicking on him there. He is on twitter (I am not ) but my sister is, and she has been blocked on there too. And he is not on facebook x

OP: I might be wrong but knowing tinder for example can be linked to your instagram page, lots of men seem to have pages where no family seem to exsist. I caught out a few married men doing this when matching with people. One guy only had hundreds of female followers. Stupid idiot had linked his name to his instagram, a quick facebook search showed he was married with a new born baby. On instagram he looked like a eligible bachelor.

Could be innocent, but i would be watching very very carefully.

Send him a request OP and get your sister to do the same!
If he refuses either of you or both, then there's something fishy going on IMO!

Don't question him, make a fake 2nd account, wait until he accepts that then you send a request to see what happens.

OP, you have to say something. And don't let him get away with any dodgy gaslighting excuses - MAKE him add you there and then, and if he refuses, well then, you have your answer that he's up to something.
