Show any signs of having a girlfriend on Facebook. Been with my boyfriend 8 months. We've been involved for 16 months. His last relationship was 9 years and they split 3 years ago. He always showed his affection for her online. His Facebook is full of her pics. None of me. Should I ask why he doesn't want to show us off like he did her?

Asking him is the only way you're going to find out.

Yes ask him.

For what it's worth, I shred photos of my ex on Facebook. My Facebook doesn't really mention my now dp. No reason except I am more private now.

I don't post much about my personal life at all.

Its not always for bad reasons. But if you think he is trying to hide you, then you need to talk to him.

He's still single on there and it's full of profile photos with them together. Just realised not once in 8 months has he ever even acknowledged us being in a room together on there. He doesn't hide me from his mates. But he keeps in touch with the ex and I'm thinking he's trying not to let her see.

I feel like he's not fully commited to us because of this. He's shared things they've bought eaxhother. Days out. Holidays. Random photos of her eating. Calls her sweetheart on there. Comments on her pics..

@Thinkingat3am are you sure it was him posting and not her on his behalf

Your going to need to have an honest conversation and I get a gut feeling you might not like the answer but it’s better to know sooner rather than later. Good luck!

Yep the answer isn't what you want, I fear.
You might be Miss "I Suppose You'll Do For Now".

Do you post anything of the two of you? And tag him?

10 years ago I used Facebook a lot but more recently (I've just got rid of it actually) I didn't post anything and would certainly like to keep my relationship more private

We spoke. Turned into a row he walked out the flat and came back and we spoke. He said they were together 10 years and he didn't put nothing of her up for 2 years.. I said OK but its all still on there and she appears as the woman you are linked too still. He said I am more obsessed with her than he is. Said she used to be in his mind every second when they were together and he struggled when they split but not anymore.
He said it's because he has no money at the moment due to him being currently of work. We haven't been able to do stuff since we've got together for a few reasons. So he's saying when he's got something to write he would.

I hate to say, but he's just not that into you.

If he wanted to show you off, he would.

GiantHaystacks2021 · 27/01/2022 08:55

Yep - he's not that into you.
Sorry.
You are not a priority for him.
I suspect you'll do him for shagging, though.
It doesn't sound like he has much respect for you.

I would ghost him.
It's all he deserves.
