Don't know what to do :/

I've been with my partner for a few years now, no children of our own, he has two from previous relationship. The kids and I get on great :)

He does the school run half the week and he's mentioned a mum that he talks to regularly (she's new to the area).

Anyway she's just added him on facebook and while he was with me has accepted her and started liking her photo's of her posing on her own.

I've gone beserk (due to been cheated on in previous relationship). He's saying he doesn't know why he liked it? And there's nothing in it blah blah. Which is obviously rubbish as he liked it in the first place!

I genuinely don't know what to do? I'm not sure if im over reacting but I feel like I'll never be able to trust him, even though nothing's gone on.

Am I over reacting?

Looks like I'm in the minority who finds it disrespectful. If it was a photo of her and the children or something I'd be ok with it but pictures of herself posing is a bit much.

I thought you were going to add a paragraph to the effect that they'd now started Facebook messaging each other.

As it stands, I don't think there's much to worry about - liking pics is public and pretty innocuous, and I tend to do it whenever anyone (man or woman) posts a lone pic because it's a nice and flattering thing to do for them, and it takes two seconds.

It's when the faux-casual "how are you doing?" private messages start that there could be cause for concern because they can escalate into flirting and/or sharing confidences.

I don't think thats appropriate at all.

I would be upset if DP did this.
