To ask boyfriend about FB picture

I’ve been with my boyfriend for a year, it’s all going well. This may seem like a non issue to some, however yesterday my boyfriend changed his profile picture to a photo of me and him for the first time. Thought it was a sweet thing to do. When I went to comment on it I realised he’d turn the ability to comment off. After a quick scroll through, it’s the only photo on there that you’re not able to comment on.

I don’t usually pay too much attention to social media but this has made me feel a little uneasy. AIBU if I ask him why? I really don’t want to come across as crazy!

Or he might dread comments like "what happened to the other girl" which is what my uncle put on brother's engagement pic.

😂😂 Love this

I think their point was that in the greater scheme of things there are probably far larger things to worry about in the world right now. Like the prospect of being dragged into world war three and the odd one or two long range weapons slowly being aimed in the rough direction of the UK right now. But hey, your picture on Facebook....

There is always something greater going on, that doesn’t mean we can’t have our own worries or concerns

I don’t think anyone was in any doubt as to what that meant! Just that the comment was unnecessary. You could give that response to every post on here.

The World is on fire and this is what worries you? Bloody hell.

The worlds on fire and people are making shitty comments on mn

A lot of people do this when they think they will get a million comments of "who's that?" or "congratulations" and then they have to reply to Aunt Maureen who they haven't seen in 5 years and Betty who used to babysit them haha

I deleted Facebook because I realised it was just full of people I wouldn't want to say hi to if I passed them in the street (but that's just miserable me) 😁

OP, has he turned comments off on previous new profile pics? If not, then maybe he’s only realised he can do it. I’d feel the same as him tbh, as I don’t like the option for ppl to comment on new profile pics, but you should ask him about it if you’re worried

He's your boyfriend, just ask him :)
