Husband following woman on FB

ok so I need to know if this is 'normal ' for men. My husband of 3 years left his FB open on the laptop & I saw a very scantily clad woman on there...i then looked at his activity & he started following her on 1 August. Not a friend request but so he see all her notifications & posts. She was in a black shiny outfit in a dirty pose, as werealll her photos, extremelyheavy make up too. I feel really upset... am I over reacting or would anyone else say this is ok it's only looking?

I don't think that there is a normal, you're not happy so that's enough.

Have you discussed it?

Is there money involved? Some people charge money for being an online gf. Didnt one woman supposedly become a millionaire this way during lockdown

It's probably a BOT account

Tell him you were being nosy /distrusting of him and saw he's flowing a woman who isn't his wife on fbk and you want to know if he's looking to but clothes from her or her make up tips.. Maybe he wants to look sexy for you in a so called dirty pose and is following her to get tips

Had this recently with DH.

If you follow someone rather than Like them, no one else gets a notification.

DH was following hundreds, all heavily made up women in lingerie.

I was so far out the other side of furious, but you'll get lots of "cool" wives on here telling you it's fine.

I think it’s about what you see as normal.
I wouldn’t accept my DH watching porn, yet others think it’s ok and join in !
You need to think about what you think is acceptable, and have a conversation with him.

So how did you handle it ?

We had a pretty big argument, tbh, and he was in complete denial as to how disrespectful it was. I was so so angry, especially as he has a lot of work contacts on FB...... and he stupidly had no idea that it was all publicly on his profile......... he is now very aware of what I expect from a loyal partner, and what is/isn't acceptable behaviour.

Our compromise was that he deactivated his FB account for the time being; we have each others phone pins, and I told him very honestly that if he did it again, it was game over.
