Love Island Ex-Contestant TikTok Accounts

Got something on my mind that is upsetting me in truth but would love a.n.other’s opinion about whether my feelings/ opinions are reasonable or not.

An overarching thing to remember is I trust my OH completely concerning an out of relationship affair or similar etc..

My posts from before, past months, paints a story about me. I’m reasonably body conscious, which I dislike about myself, but my past threads (not many - only 2) paint more a story.

Main reason why I’m posting here is I think a lot of the ladies on here like to watch Love Island.

Clearly, a series comes to an end eventually and understandably the contestants publicise themselves after I guess and for most of them, one thing is they set up a TikTok account and get 100,000’s of followers and good luck to them.

My question is, concerning a role’s reversed, put yourself in another’s boots and think reverse.

Making assumption your OH likes Love Island, while you really dislike it, what would be your opinion if your OH followed you, and you didn’t in return. Also, he follows body beautiful, ex contestants, where some of them are sometimes posing in front of a mirror/ selfie, hardly dressed with cleavage purposely on show, etc..?

Dont get me wrong, theres enough of the past contestants who don’t go so revealing on their posts so it isn’t all the previous contestants.

Anyone who does use TikTok an example post to see better where my feelings are coming from, an example is Ben Holboroigh. His post from 30 March for example.

I’ve attached a screen print of it, but maybe the moderators will take it down if it’s not appropriate to add this (and apologies moderators if s
Personally, I find things like this quite disrespectful to our relationship, but maybe I’m being a bit heavy
I’d really appreciate opinion from the ladies who like love Island and maybe have a Toktok account also. Thank you.

Hi op, can’t see any attachment. But I just want to say your dh has no need to follow any of these young girls. That’s what they are, girls.

im finding your post hard to follow. Are you a man who’s wife/girlfriend is following some male ex Love Island contestants?

OnlyMabelInTheBuilding · 12/04/2026 07:19

You’re the male who has body issues, thinks love island ruins relationships, so now doesn’t want your partner following male love island accounts, is that right?

I think LI is a pile of shite, but your body insecurities are irrelevant, as they would be if you were a woman. No one has to adjust behaviour because of someone else’s insecurities; you work on those yourself.

And you don’t need two threads on this.

OP is a man.

Judging from his other threads this Love Island/ Tiktok issue is only part of the problems he has in his relationship.
It sounds as though his relationship in general undermines his self esteem and I wonder if he and his DW are compatible.

This is really hard to follow.

Does your wife nit follow you on social media, but follows the accounts of former LI contestants?

OP is a man. It’s his wife he’s talking about.

He’s very insecure about himself, which many people are so no criticism there, but it clearly affects his thoughts and feelings on matters.
