To find DP following this account weird?

Looking for an unbiased opinion.

DP uses tiktok, as do I. An account appeared in my suggested as DP follows it, I clicked on it as I was curious. The account is owned by a teenager (well close enough he has 18 in his bio). His tiktoks are nothing that DP would be interested in, he posts about mental health, his days etc. I had a look and this is the only account he follows like this.

I'm not sure why, but I do find this weird. Would anyone else?

Maybe he clicked follow by accident?

You mean you think it is his son?

That escalated quickly

Has your dh got undisclosed mh issues?

KangarooKenny · 18/02/2023 12:31

Is your DH gay with a teenage fetish ? LTB !

I've followed people by accident on Tiktok, its easily done. I wouldn't think anything of it.

LolaSmiles · 18/02/2023 12:34

Unless I had reasons to be concerned I would assume he's accidentally followed when scrolling.

I've done it before and then noticed later when wondering why random stuff appears in my feed.

A guy I know who's 40 ( I noticed recently) follows all these younger women on tiktok, a couple of which look like teenagers. His GF doesn't have TikTok so will be none the wiser. These young women/girls prance around with their boobs or butts out. I was shocked but wouldn't tell the GF as she's the type to turn a blind eye anyway & I'd probably get my head bitten off.
This is probably totally unrelated sorry.
Anyway, would you not just ask your husband about it?

Before you jump to conclusions it is very easy to accidentally follow people on tiktok. The button is right where you would naturally hold your thumb to scroll. If it bothers you just ask him!

yeah im an avid tiktok user and i always look at my following list and see people i definitely didnt mean to follow on there, it happens very easily and isnt always obvious

CKL987 · 18/02/2023 14:15

I've followed stuff in the past due to one video and then discovered everything else is crap and not my thing. I wouldn't think it odd at all.

Cosycover · 18/02/2023 14:33

I would say 'DH why do you follow this account on tiktok?'

Fixed · 18/02/2023 14:38

So he's following an adult, who posts about mental health. Just because you don't think it's anythingbyour DH shouldn't be interested in doesn't mean he's not interested. He could have seen a vid that really resonates with him and followed for more positive posts etc.

I follow anyone who posts something I find funny or interesting whatever age or sex they are or aren’t. YABVU

Goldplatedbag · 18/02/2023 14:42

I'd say he's almost certainly followed it by accident, but if you're thinking something else, there'll be a reason for that

plumduck · 18/02/2023 14:49

What do you think is happening

Newyearnewmeow · 18/02/2023 14:54

Just ask him. You haven’t been snooping, it came up on your feed so no need to feel guilty about mentioning it.
