Irrational or understandable

I post some months ago about my boyfriend following an artist on social media.
She paints stunning oils on canvas and at times photography. It is a business of hers based in Asia. Now and again, she will post paintings of herself or commissions , nude. More silhouettes than full frontal paintings and he will often like them. He also likes her paintings and photography of the landscape and others .
I was upset months ago because she commented on one of the semi nude paintings by simply saying ... stunning !
I can't find the post as I've changed all my details on here due to new phone/ no back up but I vaguely remember being told I was being ridiculous by approx 90% of posters.
I told him I was upset , that I understood that I was being irrational but was sensitive due to being cheated on by my husband for possibly years and was a little untrusting and paranoid . He said he understood but that he enjoyed her art, which he is into anyway - has many artists that he follows - but would be sensitive . He has been but recently likes a new nude silhouette of her . I am
Hurt . Am I being irrational or is this understandable . It's hard to trust myself sometimes.
Otherwise relationship is incredible and we are both as committed and in love as each other with plans for the future .
Thanks for reading .

You're not just looking at friend of a friend of you know every picture he's liked. You're clearly checking his or her profile for signs of his listing after another woman

You are though. I am sorry, but you kind of are.
I have no idea what pics my DH likes on Instagram or facebook.
Are you also checking friend of a friend if they are male?

It's hard, but this is really a problem, but not woth him.
