I've just read another thread and it's prompted me to start this one.

Instagram/Facebook/Snapchat do all men follow, look at, like half naked women pages? I stopped following my DP on Instagram ages ago and he hasn't noticed, I stopped because he likes and follows lots of half naked women's pages. Reading another thread has just reminded me of this and I had another snoop and one page he follows and regularly likes pics of is called Pretty skinny girls. I'm neither pretty or skinny. I know I shouldn't have gone snooping before I get roasted for doing it.

DP was single for a very long time before we got together so I get that he in the past has liked/followed these pages but it's niggling at me now and I know if I blurt it out I'm going to sound like an idiot but it really bothers me. I have suspicions too that he messages too but I can't prove it.

I don't think he will unfollow any of those things.
He's slightly off with me this morning and isn't his usual self.

I'll read up on things before ordering just in case.

He said he'd delete his IG or delete the pages I find offensive and he'll do anything I want to make me happy. I told him to do what he thinks is right. I'm not asking or telling him to do anything. I've just checked and those pages are still there.

If what you actually want is for him to stop following these pages, you should just ask him to do that.

I suspect that you know that won't do anything to resolve the actual issue, which is one of insecurity (understandable, given your past). You sort of just have to accept that you can't know or control someone's thoughts.

If you feel the relationship is going well and that he finds you attractive, there isn't much more that's needed, surely?

Hi op I would definitely mention to him that you don't like it . My partner has twitter and instagram. We have been together 10 years . When we 1st got together he was following these stupid pages . I told him how I felt and he didn't do it again and never has . Not saying he doesn't click on them for a look because I would never know . X

Had a bit of a strange day today. He hasn't mentioned anything about what we spoke about yesterday. I'm going to let things settle for a day or two then go from there b
