Am I in the wrong here or is he being possessive?

I put a status on my facebook page last night saying something like "time to refocus on the important stuff I think". 2 people "liked" it (one male, one female) and then an ex from many years ago (who now lives 200 miles away) added the comment "me you mean? awww thanks! haha" I replied "err was thinking careerwise but suppose I could spare you a thought lol" and he added "woohoo! lol" I "liked" his final comment. This was all on my wall btw.

Boyfriend has just sent me a text saying he is "Not impressed" with what "tosspot" wrote on my facebook and he's "finding it very difficult not to have a go at him". Hmm I said "well it was blatently a joke, nothing more" and so he said "but Adam and Mark (his friends who are on my friends list) can see that". I replied "I don't care about Mark and Adam, I barely know them". so now he's making out that I'm really out of order. He's never even met this guy btw so has no basis for the "tosspot" comment.

Am I out of order??

I think you and your boyfriend need to refocus on more important stuff!

Wrongbow · 26/01/2012 16:10

He's just being a bit jealous and petulant isn't he.

I'd point out that if he "has a go at him" he will look like a nutcase and Mark and Adam will definitely be embarrassed for him then...

get off fucking FB

PeppermintPasty · 26/01/2012 16:40

He is being a twat.

BillyBollyBandy · 26/01/2012 16:43

Nope, he is being a knob with no sense of humour

"He's is finding it difficult not to have a go at him".

How old is this guy? What would he do afterwards? Club you on the head and drag you back to his cave?

Fucking FB - it creates so much shit in peoples' lives.

AnyFucker · 26/01/2012 16:47

He is being a twat

but I can't stand those ridiculous vague, putting-the-world-to-rights "status" things

they invite twattery by the the very nature of their silliness

redrubyshoes · 26/01/2012 16:49

Also you barely know Adam and Mark yet they know about your life through Facebook?

Strange world.

PeppermintPasty · 26/01/2012 16:51

Agreed. FB statuses are drivel.

Except mine Grin

newbiedoobiedoo · 26/01/2012 16:59

Why are you friends with Mark and Adam if you barely know them?? Confused

Also, is your BF old enough to be on FB?! Wink

Facebook is indeed tedious.

How long have you been with him op? What would your thoughts be if the situation was in reverse?

TooEasilyTempted · 26/01/2012 17:34

Why did you 'like' his final comment?

lazarusb · 26/01/2012 18:30

I'd block your bf. Then he can't over react to what you choose to write.

Oh...and by the way, he is a possessive twat who thinks he owns you and can frighten off other men. Maybe rethink your relationship.

solidgoldbrass · 26/01/2012 20:13

No, Facebook is useful. It's helped this OP detect that her current boyfriend is a controlling bellend. OP, tell the boyfriend this is his one and only warning: if he ever threatens violence/aggression against anyone in 'defence of monogamy' again he's dumped.

SirSugar · 26/01/2012 20:26

No good comes of FB, at no time did I find it an enjoyable experience tis social pergatory
