To hide all my stories from them?

On Social media…

Not keen on Dh’s family, v toxic and full of drama and falling out, my family aren’t perfect, but it’s all quite alien to me. They’re the type who all bitch about each other and make passive aggressive posts on Fb about one another, so weird 😬just don’t want any part of it.
I’ve taken to hiding all his family whenever I post things on my stories (there’s about 8 I have to hide)
Mil has started to ask Dh why they don’t see posts of our Dd from me anymore and what we’re up to 🙄Dh was a bit ‘Hey?’ as I haven’t hidden my posts from him
Aibu to hide them and just not want them nosying into my life? (They we’re always the first ones looking at things as soon as I posted..freaked me out! )

Stop living your life on social media, for a start.

@HarrietJet Its ok, I don’t. I post on stories occasionally as do many

None of my in-laws can see anything I post on Facebook, for similar reasons. Occasionally I’ll post something super boring that they can see, like a lost cat post or something off the local news so it looks like I’m more of a reader than a user. And just say I don’t really use social media that much if they ask.

You just need to make sure your DH doesn’t add a tag to your posts or reshare any of them. It sounds like he might be your Achilles heel in this.

I have a pseudonym account and then I blocked people 👋

Then I deactivated the old one

also because of in-laws

This user is a troll so we have deleted their posts and threads.

I wish they’d never added me years ago, it was like I couldn’t not accept them, but 🙄

Delete your account and live your life without any social media.

Absolutely. Whatever works from you. I have loads of people hidden and a close friend group also who I show more stuff to x
