AIBU to think liking pictures of half naked/bikini models is cheating?

[crazymicrowave123]

Or at least shady behaviour? My sister is in a newish relationship of about 6 months and they briefly split due to trust issues and she finds it hard to stand up for herself. I don't want to say anything if it isn't that big a deal, but its almost every bikini model or half naked influencer's pictures that he likes and type of people he follows. And it leaves a bad taste in my mouth because the last thing I want is the person I care about to get hurt. She doesn't know he does this as she doesn't have social media but I follow him on Instagram and I don't really want to get involved. WWYD? Or is it harmless?

I know it’s not the point of the thread, but it’s driving me mad. You can cringe at something, but the thing itself can’t be ‘cringe’. It can be cringey or cringeworthy, but cringe is not an adjective.

🤣 I take your point haha. But using "cringe" as an adjective is someone all my friends do as well so maybe it's an area thing? Or age thing? Or maybe something me and my friends have entirely made up together and are unknowingly infuriating everyone else around us 😬

I suppose it depends on the boundaries of the relationship.

Personally if my partner was liking photos of people in underwear/bikinis, I would consider it cheating because that's outside of the acceptable boundaries of my relationship.

However, some people may not consider this cheating, and that's okay too.

I think this sums it up perfectly!

I know some people who don't consider it cheating to have a cheeky snog on a night out, as long as they tell their partner afterwards and nothing more comes of it. That's what works for them and their partner. Personally I think that sounds mad, but it's up to them!

I am married 30 + years and would show dh photos of people in magazines. I expect him to look, but we are ease with each other.
