I mean photos of me in public when I’ve told him it annoys me to be constantly under a lens and to have myself ‘documented’ when I’ve looked bad, messy, ill etc
I’ve told him please stop and he thinks I’m being silly as I’m in public but he reluctantly agreed to stop. Yet, I’ve seen on multiple occasions since when he’s had his phone out texting that he’s taken sly full face photos of me at bars, restaurants etc and continues to send them to his friends as a joke or to accompany an update on his day. I am not photogenic so it’s affecting my esteem a bit and hate to always have to feel camera ready. A lot of facial expressions are fine in 3D continuously moving real life interactions but look weird as a 2D still shot and I feel uncomfortable being constantly pepped and I don’t think it’s an unreasonable request to ask him to stop doing it (both him having a reel of full face photos of me and sending them to his friends and relatives). He says I’m being ridiculous since I’m fully clothed and public so he’s within his rights to but rights aside, I would have stopped if someone asked me to if they’re unhappy with me doing it. As someone I’m dating, I feel he should respect that and I should be able to relax on dates without worrying about being photographed slyly constantly.
I totally get that it would be no big deal to some but everyone’s different and I’ve consented to being in a few pics with him at special events etc but not one of those selfie obsessed people.
