Would you be unbothered by this? Regarding friend and new DP

I expect I am being unreasonable so I'm kind of here to be told I need to get over myself...

To summarise Dfriend has met a new partner- they've been dating for a month - official for the past two weeks.

She's casually mentioned photos that she's sent over to him of the two of us. Three in total that I'm aware of (could be more). Apparently all relative to the conversation but not necessarily about me. However DF is a huge fan of selfies and isn't shy about sharing them so I'm surprised she isn't just sending photos over of herself - like i said, I'm not actually relative to their conversation.

I know she's told him about other personal bits about my life - like ex partners etc. and I think that perhaps it makes me feel a little uneasy that this guy knows a fair bit about me when I haven't even met him.

Should I just give me head a wobble? I'm a private person and not really one for sharing photos so this isn't my "normal" iyswim.

YABU: I'd be totally fine about it.
YANBU: I see where you're coming from.

Thanks!

This is such a strange thing to be worried about-unless you’re naked in the selfies.

I think it's normal at the moment because of covid it's not possible for new partners to meet their partners friends and it's nice to have a face to a name in conversations about other people in our lives.

Yes that's true Beanie, I never thought of it like that.

Ha yes well put PurpleDasies.

General chitchat is fine imo but I wouldn't be happy about her sharing my personal information.

I suppose it depends what she’s telling him. If it’s ‘This is my friend CuriousCat - we had a great holiday in Marbella and used to go to Zumba together before lockdown’, that seems fair enough. If it’s ‘This is my friend CuriousCat - she lost her virginity behind the Mecca Bingo hall and wet herself on the night bus once after too many Sambucas’, then yes, she’s oversharing.

I find it very strange.
Why would she send pictures of you to him?
I woudn’t like it.

Hmmm glad I'm not alone on this.

I might mention it when we next speak. Because at the end of the day it's something I'm not comfortable with?

We're generally VERY open and honest with one another but I haven't mentioned this because I wasn't sure if my general unease was valid. So I may casually mention it and we'll most likely laugh about it together.
