AIBU to be miffed even though there is a good mix of male and female friends ?
I just don't see the need for any interaction other than playing against each other on their game? They do need to add each other to play through the platform.
I am jealous especially if the females.
He doesn't comment or use any other symbols other than ' like'. Never comments.
He has thousand of 'friends' and has ex tinder dates there who he also 'likes' their posts. He has no other contact with them but then again he is a prolific ' liker' of multiple posts.
AIBU?

Well kudos to you for actually listening to the answers you got. Doesn't always happen on AIBU.

Yep, I was thinking the same. Smile

YABU. Don't be silly.

KurtWilde · 17/01/2022 21:37

Was going to say YABU but realised you've already taken that on board.

So I'll just add that gaming is a sociable pastime, it's not unusual to add people on fb, but if you're not a gamer yourself I can see why you might find it odd.

This has got to be a joke surely!

If not you need to stop else this kind of behaviour will drive everyone away from you.

Do you have any issues with him meeting his friends in real life?

@premierproblems

Gosh I didn't realise I was being so unreasonable. Appreciate the replies thanks. I guess I need to check myself. There is no sign of us beingi in a relationship together in social media as I have a divorce looming so I have been advised to play down any relationship so I am Extra sensitive I guess.
Oh come on now, this is NOT how we do things on AIBU.

You are supposed to tell us all we are wrong and become increasingly defensive and snappy. Perhaps even call us 'cool wives'. I'm afraid this level of reasonableness simply Will Not Do.

YABU about the gamers but I'm not sure I'd be overly keen of a partner keeping ex Tinder dates hanging around on social media and interacting with their posts if I'm completely honest. I'd feel almost like he was keeping them on standby should the relationship not work out.

@RobertaFirmino haha!
Genuinely wanted to see if I was being unreasonable! Seems I am.
Although the ex tinder dates being there and liking their photos still doesn't feel right !

Sounds very controlling. That you monitor his FB actions right down to knowing which emojis he uses.

premierproblems · 18/01/2022 09:35

Maybe it does but there is a constant stream of suggested friends on my feed and it's beginning to take its toll on me. They are mostly women.

Have you posted before ? I recognised the not been public on social media due to your divorce scenario ?

I think that’s what makes you a but insecure in terms of the online stuff as it’s like you don’t exist on there but it’s for a good reason at your request isn’t it ? ( the divorce )

Been friends with ex tinder matches seems a bit off can’t see why he needs to stay in touch with them at the cost of upsetting you ?

The rest is fine

premierproblems · 18/01/2022 12:50

I agree. Being friends with exes and ex tinder matches is a bit Confused
