So guys wanted to ask if its normal for a guy to be liking womens pictures on social media whoms cleavage is showing or wearing just a top with knickers posing.

I mean i have nothing against women who take pics like that but is it right for a married man to be liking those sort of pictures when i find it wrong.

He tells me his account is to build his business clients yet is carrying on using it to like pics like that. Ive been blocked from his social media and ive been asking him to let me be part of his business online. He keeps refusing as i keep seeing what hes doing. I mean if i feel disrespected by his actions surely he should understand why

Am i being very paranoid or hes just a piece of shit looking for something more. I feel like this effects me where as to him its nothing

You’ve been blocked from his social media? That is really bad. He’s definitely attempting to hide things.

@Londonisburningg i feel the same. He just says its cause u have problem with the women. But i only have an issue with this actions

Personally, as this is strictly personally and I don’t represent the larger female population when I say this, if he is liking influencer’s photos on Instagram or some social platform, I wouldn’t be too bothered. My DH wouldn’t stand a chance with such women, he knows that, I know that and the females in question would know that too. The admiration is purely aesthetic. Is your DH trying to build a macho alpha image if he is using his business account to do that?
In return, if I were you, I would start to appreciate the beauty of the male bodies too. I am sure there are some beautiful male influencers you could like and follow.
Having said that, if he ever taunts you about how or why you cannot look like the influencers then that would be a relationship red flag.

What a childish bore OP
However do you put up with him?

Thingsdogetbetter · 09/02/2021 07:17

How in God's name is liking those type of photos building his business? Does he sell knickers? Is he a porn producer?
No women is going to go "ah, how professional, I must use his garage when I get my mot done next". Ffs

Have you posted about this before?

If you’re blocked on his social media how can you tell what he ‘likes’? Genuine question, I thought I knew my way around Facebook.

It would bother me and I would find it disrespectful. It's one thing to look, but when you like or comment it gives the other person a chance to see who you are. Some of these men hold a secret hope one of those women will look at their profiles, fancy and then contact them. That just didn't happen with magazines unless a man was truly motivated and even then correspondence had to go through the publishers. He is making a bridge for contact and that's not on.

sleepyhead1980 · 09/02/2021 08:33

The fact he blocked you I would say is where the issue is here. It's so bad but I would be tempted to make a fake profile and follow him. You could then see what he is up to and also if you make your pic a hot girl you'll see if he is doing more than just likes (he might dm)

Itstimetoquit · 09/02/2021 22:39

Blocked you that's shady x

Do you keep posting the same thread ? Why ?

peanutbutterchoc · 10/02/2021 02:13

I think it wrong, he's a creep and using building his business as his only excuse.
Hard to trust men like that, where does it end, it's drives you mad thinking they could go a step further and like and flirt with women they do know.

He's not respecting that you're not comfortable with it nor should you be.

RantyAnty · 10/02/2021 04:42

He's on the prowl for someone new.

My exH did that shit too and tried to make me out to be some crazy controlling jealous wife.

Dump him.

CaramelPops · 10/02/2021 07:19

💯 what @Thingsdogetbetter said as well as others echoing the same sentiment with regards to him blocking you on social media.

The fact he has blocked you is proof in itself that he is concealing something.

The question is: what do you want to do about it? You can sit there and keep nagging him and accept this or you cut the cord and Build a new life without this deceiving excuse of a man.

5128gap · 10/02/2021 07:33

For me it's not about whether any particular action is right or wrong, it's more about what it demonstrates about the man.
Some men are actively interested in other women, some aren't, and are content to focus their interest on their partner.
Obviously yours is in the first camp, and this can be very difficult to live with unless you're incredibly secure.
You might be able to get him to stop this behaviour, but you're not going to remove his inclination, so it really comes down to whether you can live with a man who is interested in other women or not.
