Do you get jealous of your partners celebrity crushes?

[sundress]

Just that really.

Mine mostly loves Amy Hart from love island, Blake Lively, Karen Gillan and a couple of others. He follows them all on Instagram and is frequently ‘liking’ their photos - generally the ones of them looking gorgeous rather than the ones of what they cooked for dinner.

DPs crushes look nothing like me and are all tiny figures and blonde/red hair with big boobs. I’m a brunette with an ironing board chest thanks to breastfeeding and a few lb heavier due to lockdown

I’m also a blatant hypocrite though because I have my own celebrity crushes

I can’t shake these jealousy niggles.

Well, I came on to say no. But I can't say that the following people on social media thing is very appealing. Its like something a 13yo would do.

Mine has never mentioned having one

I think if he did he'd probably not tell me! I do sometimes say oh she's v good looking etc and he will grudgingly give an opinion.

I think he's more into real life iyswim

And he wouldn't follow on Instagram etc as he's not 15

If mine was doing what yours is doing I'd think he was an issue Pratt and not be impressed at all

Immature Pratt that should be

DH doesn’t seem to have any - I’m sure there’s people he finds attractive but he doesn’t particularly mention anyone or seek out media with one particular person in it, and apart from a Facebook profile I don’t think he’s looked at or posted to since back when we started dating, he doesn’t have social media.

I’d find behaviour like your DP’s quite offputting and teenage to be honest.

Your partner sounds pathetic.

I don’t know if my bf has any celeb crushes. He quite fancies one girl in an indie band who plays guitar I guess. He follows her on Instagram. I quite frankly couldn’t care less, I regularly like photos of ovie and ched off love island with their tops off and they literally couldn’t be more opposite to my bf. I probably also wouldn’t care if he liked photos of celebrities naked. He’s not got a chance with them so why should I worry

Thing if I feel if I explain how I don’t like it, I feel I would be
a) being a hypocrite because I also follow people on Instagram like joe wicks, Tom Hardy and ‘like’ their photos
and b) veering into controlling territory

Well no, but then he never says he has any, although obviously he must find some attractive. I remember about 15 years ago he had a bit of a thing for Myleene Klass, but he was having a midlife crisis so I’ll let him off.
My crushes far outway his anyway I cried for so long when Prince died, I’m talking weeks to months, that in the end he was a bit

I'm not entirely sure as he's never mentioned it, although he doesn't really fancy generic "hot" people.. Apparently lol.

Me on the other hand made no attempt to hide the fact Chris Hemsworth makes me twitch, he's the polar opposite of my boyfriend, who by the way I fine immensely attractive. It's normal to fancy other people.

No, that would be silly. I wolf whistle when mine comes on and DH does it when his come on.

What? So you do exactly what it is that makes you feel shit when he does it?
For goodness sake. All of this is pretty immature tbh, I don’t think I’d find someone attractive who was letching after women, any women celebrity or otherwise, on Instagram. Sure look and appreciate, but to actively follow and like their photos is cringy imo.
I wouldn’t have a clue who my DHs ‘celebrity crush’ would be, and I don’t expect he would be able to name one for me either.

If you do it too, you're being a naughty hypocrite . Catch yourself on.

No. Don't give a crap and nor does he. Mine aren't even celebrities, it's basically the whole cast of Bondi Rescue.

I'm not naive, I know dh probably has celebrity crushes, as do I, but we keep them to ourselves. I don't think either of us would like to know who the other finds attractive. It would definitely bother me if he followed and liked other women on social media. It would make me feel insecure and I don't think it's overly respectful, to me it's the same sort of thing as being out and blatantly 'check someone out' in front of me.

a) being a hypocrite because I also follow people on Instagram like joe wicks, Tom Hardy and ‘like’ their photos

I do believe you've answered your own question here. Also, Karen Gillan big boobed? That's new.

Here? No, we'd mostly happily jump each other's celeb crushes.

I think this says more about how you feel about yourself OP. Are you happy with who you are and your appearance? Would you say you are confident and have good self esteem or are there things you feel you want to improve whether that's exercising more, self care etc. Does your partner make you feel attractive and like he loves you?

God, no. We each have a laminated list!

My partners crush is actually a character from an American show daft thing is she dresses a bit like I do although I'd love to dress completely like her just because I love how she dresses and have way before I knew who it was . My celebrity crushes all remind me off my oh and when they come on TV he says ' oh your boyfriend is on ' . I'm not jealous because his crush is a character and he isn't jealous of mine

The following on insta and likes is childish. But you both do it so I guess crack on

We both follow celeb crushes on instagram and sometimes like their images, sometimes we show each other our favourite photos of our crushes 😂

Neither of us mind, so it’s fine, obviously if one of us didn’t like it then it’s something we wouldn’t do. It took about 6 weeks to discover that one of his celeb crushes is my ex and friend, we went to an event together and my boyfriend couldn’t have been more quiet!

It's one thing having a celebrity crush and wolf whistling when they come on TV (I love that!) And quite another for your partner to interact with all their half naked Instagram posts like some drooling teenager. The first is healthy and normal, the second feels seedy and weird.

No because my partner is an adult and I don't dictate what he should view or feel in the least threatened by pictures or videos. I spend my time ogling food "porn" and I don't compare the food he cooks with what I have seen in pictures and think "oh that doesn't look as appetising" because one is a an unobtainable fantasy I enjoy looking at and the other is real, tasty and delicious, I presume it's exactly the same with attractive people.

No, just irritated because I can't see that she is attractive (the only one he's ever mentioned). I'd rather he was into someone I could agree was really hot! He likes Jessica Alba, who I wouldn't look twice at.

I think it depends to what extent.

My ex would harp on about woman in the tv. It was like he had the inability to look at any woman in a non sexual way.

He’d frequently say “you can near on see her knickers” or “she’s got a nice pair”.

Then he’d say he was joking!! BS!!

All that did was bring my self confidence down.
