How do I best play this one..

Actually quite upset writing this and hope it doesn't come across as me acting like some mad woman but they say gut instinct and all.

So I've been with somebody for 1.5 years..everything fab and I couldn't be happier. Lately things have been a little stressful due to my family and I've tried to separate that so as not to be a miserable so and so the times we see each other as we live a fair way apart and know it can't be fun.

Anyway..months ago I caught him glancing at another woman while we were out..nothing wrong, we all do it but once is ok anything else which it was numerous time I find quite rude if it's in front of you. I never did broach it.

Jump to this weekend. I've had a photo of a friend and I printed and it's in my lounge. He's been pretty much looking at it on and off at every opportunity and it's driven me mad. Due to a bit of stress again I didn't think wise to throw it in and thought I'd be clever over it.

So do I remove the photo and see if he notices (it's among a lot so he'd have to realise I took it to say anything) or do I leave it and word it how?

I'd say nothing. Photos are too look at. You don't need to feel insecure, he's with you

Honestly, I think you’re reading too much into this. He’s looked at a photo of you and a friend a bit too much?

Do you have self esteem issues generally? Does he tell you that he finds you attractive often? Or do the opposite and make you doubt yourself?

It seems that you’re taking something very minor to heart and there must be more to it than him looking at someone previously.

And I know it can be annoying if your partner is blatantly checking out other women, but I find myself drawn to looking at people sometimes, whether men or women, due to their hair being nice, or admiring their outfit or just thinking “do I know them from somewhere?” etc. It’s not because I fancy them or think they’re better looking than DP. I’ve noticed I can be really drawn to looking at women’s boobs and I’m a totally hetero woman, I have no idea why.

How do you know he's not looking at you in the photo?

Thanks for the replies.
Erm he's quiet..so not a typical bloke full of compliments but I do get the odd comment..hard one as maybe that's my problem? I am insecure for reasons I won't go into but not to the point I've ever worried..like you say he's with me..BUT I think she looks a little like his ex and not far off me and it's very hard knowing I've had numerous pics up (of me/us) and I know he's eyeballing this one so much

It will pass. He's excited by the novelty of the picture. In a month he won't even notice it.

There are about 25 pics up..it's in the middle ish of them all..he only knows it's there because I'd taken one down to replace and left on the side. One thing I didn't add was him covering my face with the one I'd taken down..i know he thinks she's pretty..I just hope it's a passing thought

If it's bothering you this much, just take it down. No need to say anything or cause any drama. You can put it back later if you want. It's not worth the grief of anything either real or imagined.

Agreed, it's down
