Jealousy

I'm a really jealous person and I hate it.
But I feel that I've become this way because of my partners actions in the past and that he has given other girls attention, the way he should of only to me.

I hate if he likes other girls photos of themselves, it sounds so stupid. It I get jealous, I have a lot of body insecurities after having our daughter (I'm only 22 so when I see photos of other people our age looking amazing and with great bodies I feel rubbish) anyway I've told him how I feel and we've argued about it and he still carries on.
But he's the type of guy who loves attention from other people.

Personally I think if it upsets your partner you shouldn't do it, it's a like on a photo, I know it's not much and doesn't mean anything really but to me it does, it's not achieving anything him doing it there's no need to do it I find it a bit disrespectful and it drives me crazy to the point I sometimes look at what he's been liking! He doesn't think there's anything wrong with it even though I've told him I don't like it.

Please don't comment if your going to say something like grow up or get over it as that really won't help.
Is there anybody else who feels like this?

He sounds like a tit OP - he shouldn't put you down, even 'jokingly'

Some people are jealous and insecure by nature.

More people are made to feel insecure by the thoughtless actions of the people who are supposed to make them feel safe.

Tell him you want to try an experiment. He should completely stop the behaviour you have told him upsets you. If you're still jealous and insecure after that...it's you that is the problem.

I'm sure if he loves you he'd be willing to give that a try.

End the relationship, work on yourself and your insecurities.

Either he isn't doing enough to help your feelings or you are expecting him to do too much.
It's a matter of opinion which one it is, either way life's too short.
