Basically what he title says, he doesn't comment or like but seems to want to follow them.
I'm offended and feel embarrassed by him.
Also likes something called lamp lovers!
I have ocd and sadly this causes me to not trust my own judgement.

Errr YANBU in my book, I’d be very upset if DH did this.

StressyDressyHeels · 11/09/2019 13:01

I’d be upset if my DH did this too.

Shockers · 11/09/2019 13:05

I’ve seen Lamp Lovers- a colleague of DH’s kept sending him photos. You’re not Andy’s wife, are you??

Kitty1184 · 11/09/2019 13:05

My DP follows a lot of the suicide girls on insta. Doesn't bother me. I follow people like Jason Momoa because I like to gawp at him.

Kitty1184 · 11/09/2019 13:05

PS What is Lamp Lovers? guessing it's something I shouldn't google at work.

Shockers · 11/09/2019 13:07

It’s a kind of spoof page featuring lamps... accompanied by girls.

Shockers · 11/09/2019 13:08

Sorry, women!

Parky04 · 11/09/2019 13:11

My DW follows hunky firemen on Facebook and I follow soccer babes on Twitter. We just appreciate good looking people not wearing a lot!

DobbyLovesSocks · 11/09/2019 13:11

I couldn't get worked up by this personally. I drool over Cillian Murphy and Tom Hardy - he quite likes Sarah Michelle Gellar and some other actress i can't remember name of. End of the day its my bed he gets in and out of everyday and me he comes home to.

Kitty1184 · 11/09/2019 13:11

Ha thanks @Shockers. I might have a butch later and get some lamp inspo

Span1elsRock · 11/09/2019 13:14

DH liked a page of FB called The Gap which was all photographs of womens thigh gaps.......... he was sent a link to it by his golf mate Hmm. What he didn't realise was that everyone on his friend list would see he had liked it, including my family and friends. I had several comments made..........

So I picked up his ipad and removed all of them from his friends list. Job done. And told him if he was going to ever embarass me like that again, he'd be a single man.

U2HasTheEdge · 11/09/2019 13:15

I would hate it and think it was a bit pathetic.

springtimeishere · 11/09/2019 13:17

I think in a healthy relationship it wouldn't be so bad but for a relationship with history of secretiveness and lies it just adds to the mental torture.
If this I what I see him looking at from home what does he do when I'm not there.
Sadly I have trust issues and he knows this.
Most of them come from his past phone/pc use messaging and things.

Well I follow accounts of hot men with 6 packs, do different to that really 🤷🏻‍♀️

DH knows but his not bothered.....

springtimeishere · 11/09/2019 13:20

Also want to add the women are like models - might be a bad choice of words but more like dirty attention seekers.

OP posts:
UsernameUnavaliable · 11/09/2019 13:20

Unless he started commenting some colourful things, it wouldn't bother me

springtimeishere · 11/09/2019 13:21

Thank you for the honest replies, they help :)

springtimeishere · 11/09/2019 13:22

Sorry meant to say the women weren't like models, as in they are not tasteful shots.

OP posts:
SandAndSea · 11/09/2019 13:23

I've just had a look at this with my DP. I couldn't get upset about it. I think I would have done with one of my exes though. It's all about the vibe for me.

dollydaydream114 · 11/09/2019 13:28

I don't think 'man likes looking at pretty girls' is a particularly scandalous revelation, to be honest. Plenty of men, and women, follow attractive models, actors etc on Instagram for a gawp.

If he was interacting with them and posting comments, that would be a bit different I think. I find it slightly creepy and really quite tragic when a 20something model/actor/presenter posts a pic on social media and immediately a load of middle-aged blokes with slack-jawed expressions in their profile pics start attempting to get their attention with replies.

springtimeishere · 11/09/2019 13:37

That the thing I the instagram girls aren't pretty girls they're named like saucy sally. Very suggestive, not tasteful, I'm not being a prude over things if I thought it was porn on the pc or model in underwear but it's not like that.
I guess it's the content and fact they're just regular women rather than paid models so to speak.

OP posts:
OpenYourEyes · 11/09/2019 13:38

I follow good looking men and women on insta so it would be hypocritical if me to start complaining. Any interactions would be over the line for me though.

Heartburn888 · 11/09/2019 13:38

I’d not be best pleased but it’s not like he’s messaging women, my dp likes pics of Michelle keegan on Instagram. As long as it’s not a sexy underwear pic of the lady 3 doors down I wouldn’t let it bother you.

purpleboy · 11/09/2019 13:44

No but then both my husband and I have more respect for each other.

PapayaCoconut · 11/09/2019 13:48

That's a bit sleazy and immature.
