Probably but hey your feelings are your feelings and you can't help that. I would probably feel the same, that's why I don't have fb, saves so much hassle.

amibeingsillyagain · 26/08/2021 21:42

Thanks.
Anyone else ?

I’d definitely feel jealous too, I think that’s normal. But a like usually doesn’t mean anything. Sometimes I even click like accidentally esp if I’m on Facebook app.

amibeingsillyagain · 26/08/2021 21:46

I don't think he has interest on her or
Anything but still.... I've had a wine or two so wondering if I'm being silly.

I don't get how the ex is a few weeks if you've been together a year. Confused.

Anyway, I'd be jealous but it is a bit silly.

amibeingsillyagain · 26/08/2021 21:52

Sorry. They were together only for a few weeks and then we met well afterwards and are together a year

OP posts:
amibeingsillyagain · 26/08/2021 21:53

He is very committed and we are so happy but still.... I'm a bit Confused

OP posts:
amibeingsillyagain · 26/08/2021 21:54

He has a habit of 'liking' bloody everything on sm !

GoodnightGrandma · 26/08/2021 21:55

I’m not surprised you are 🥴 why is he still watching her ?

amibeingsillyagain · 26/08/2021 21:57

Not watching but are still sm
Friends . Her photo was an update on sm
So would have appeared on his feed .they are not in contact outside of being sm friends

OP posts:
amibeingsillyagain · 26/08/2021 22:10

Any other thoughts ?

OP posts:
messybun101 · 26/08/2021 22:16

I wouldn't like it. My DP knows this and wouldn't disrespect me by liking any updates.
I don't think you're being silly but maybe don't say anything until alc-free

Frogsonglue · 26/08/2021 22:19

You're potentially being silly. Both my partner and I are "friends" and also real life friends with people we've had unimportant, brief relationships with before meeting each other. Sometimes you have a bit of a thing with someone then realise it's not happening, but it's amicable and you become friends instead. If it's that then you've no reason to feel threatened.

amibeingsillyagain · 26/08/2021 22:21

I've no reason to feel
Threatened whatsoever but when I saw him liking an update , I didnt like it .

OP posts:
amibeingsillyagain · 26/08/2021 22:22

They don't interact at all
Outside of ' liking ' updates . A casual
Like . But I still don't Like it . Am I projecting here ?

OP posts:
Bethany7 · 26/08/2021 22:23

I would feel very jealous and irritated by that too! But it means nothing I am sure
And as you said he likes people's posts etc so it's him just being how he normally would when it comes up on his feed.
Honestly, don't worry at all!

amibeingsillyagain · 26/08/2021 22:27

Thanks @Bethany7 .I feel
RidiculoUs . He could t be more committed and loving . Too much wine 🍷

OP posts:
seensome · 26/08/2021 22:29

Yes I get you, an ex of just a few weeks and still likes her pics two years later, it's creepy I expect she probably feels the same Confused does she like anything of him back? then I'd be worried more

amibeingsillyagain · 26/08/2021 22:32

Yes she also adds a simple
Like to his updates .

SStopRaisingHim · 26/08/2021 22:56

Yeah, silly but you’re human.

I like my ex’s photos every now and then because he’s a good guy and I like him. You’ve been together for far longer than they ever made it. Try and shake it off.

amibeingsillyagain · 26/08/2021 22:57

Thanks . Feeling a bit shaky at the moment. X

Thanks girls xxx

Sattherelikealemon · 26/08/2021 23:37

Is it something in the nature of the photo that makes you think its inappropriate for him to be liking it? if it was her in undies that would be different to a casual pic in the park with her dog, for instance
