facebook pics

My husband has a couple pictures taken with his female friend - different girl for each pic. I've met them before so I know it doesnt mean anything. But is it common a married man have a piture with a girl on his blog? I thought it's not a good manner towards his wife.

Is it something I can ask my husband to remove these photos?

Why don't you ask him about them?

starsareshining · 03/12/2010 08:03

Is he doing anything strange in the photos or just standing next to them? Don't really see a problem with it. My partner has photos of himself with female friends on his facebook profile and it doesn't bother me. It's just a photograph of him standing next to another person. People love to take photos at parties and then put them up on facebook, with or without permission!

Does he have you as well?
Does his profile say he's married?

DuelingFanio · 03/12/2010 08:10

yes, it's common. My DH has several female friends and several photographs.

sheeplikessleep · 03/12/2010 08:12

is it his profil pic or just one of his photos?

dracschick · 03/12/2010 08:18

It doesnt matter - really its nothing.

extraordinary · 03/12/2010 08:58

one of his photos

How odd that you'd be concerned. They aren't snogging or groping or anything are they? Naked perhaps?

DuelingFanio · 03/12/2010 09:48

why exactly does it worry you?

sheeplikessleep · 03/12/2010 10:08

wouldn't bother me, unless it was his profile pic and it was just dh and another woman. i'd think that was odd.

Limez · 03/12/2010 10:10

If its his profile pic then that's weird.

If they're just part of a set of pics then - no problem.

extraordinary · 03/12/2010 11:59

One of them was a club photo with his female friend and the other was taken with his another female friend on his holiday before marriage. No strange pose or anything...but I wanted to know if is it ordinary a married man uploads pics with just himself and ONE female friend where everyone sees. I feel it's more like what a single man is doing.

Eh? You are wayyyyyyyyy over thinking this, ok I could almost understand if he was plastering pictures of his ex's etc over his fb BUT these women are friends. You can have firends of the opposite sex.

FB is for people to share and laugh about past times too, god the amount of pics that I have tagged of me from years ago, school, etc, etc.

I haven't blacked out all the male faces etc Confused.

I think you have skewed security issues and the defenition of what married means tbh.

Can I ask, are you from a different country or culture perhaps? It's just this really seems like a silly thing to be worrying about from where I come from.

PeachyPossum · 03/12/2010 15:52

Are they friends, or past girlfriends? If it is just friends then I wouldn't worry, if it is ex girlfriends I think I would ask him to take them off, I think that would be weird.

Your last post reads like exes tbh.

Showaddywaddy · 03/12/2010 15:56

Unless they're naked and licking each other, it's absolutely fine.

VagosaurusRex · 03/12/2010 16:06

I take it you don't have any pics with any men other than your DH on your FB?

HecTheHallsWithBoughsOfHolly · 03/12/2010 17:30

Depends. If the only photos he has on facebook are of these women then that's odd.

If he's got loads of photos of them, other mates, family, you... then they're just photos and you're overthinking.

Talk to him if you're worried.

ZeroMistletoeZeroTinsel · 03/12/2010 18:06

Is the implication here that men and women just shouldn't be friends, generally? Because if so, then that is pretty insane.

TiggyD · 03/12/2010 19:15

Sounds like quite controlling behaviour to me.

You could try therapy to help you get over your problem.

BertieBotts · 04/12/2010 11:09

Are you the same poster as "splendid"?

ilovesooty · 04/12/2010 18:27

I'm with those who think you seem to have some very peculiar ideas and insecurities. If I were your husband I'd be seriously weirded out by your obession with his FB pictures, which sound quite harmless to me. If you're that bothered about it tell him for fuck's sake: but don't be surprised if he gets a bit pissed off. I can imagine you checking his mobile phone and his emails as well.

overmydeadbody · 04/12/2010 18:47

It is quite normal in this western European culture, but you sound slike English is not your first language, so maybe it is not normal where you come from. Hence why it is bothering you.

You should not let it bother you though.
