Is it okay that bf ‘likes’ his ex gfs instagram pics?

A bit of background info ... My bf and me have recently linked up on Instagram. I’m not really into it but he’s a keen photographer as was his ex gf so I’ve seen that they both post photos of scenes (and not people or themselves).

The thing is that a few weeks ago I asked bf of 10 months if he had any contact with ex gf. He said that he didn’t. I’ve now seen that they ‘like’ each other’s photos so in my mind he’s not exactly told the truth.

I’ve not said anything to him but feel hurt that he wasn’t honest with me. Then on the other hand maybe he doesn’t see that as having contact.

I don’t have a problem with him having contact but I do have a problem with him not telling the truth.

Do you think I ought to ask him about it or just ignore it?

Thank you 😊

Of course it is okay for him to like photos posted by his ex.

What isn't okay is trying to control who your boyfriend can or cannot follow on social media. Or who they can or cannot be in contact with.

No ifs. No buts. You do not have the right to decide that.

Most likely it does not mean anything. My ex likes almost all my instagram photos! I never really like his lol. But I am married w kids. So it doesn't mean anything.

Are you 13? Confused

I wouldn’t count it as contact either and I wouldn’t object to him liking photographs either. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Unless you are allowing your boyfriend to police your social media then don't try to police his.
