Boyfriend won't delete girls on social media

Hi I'm new on here but desperate for some advice so please be kind!
I've been with my bf for 6 months but just noticed he had loads of women friends on his social media that he doesn't know, but are the sort of girls that are not the kind you'd feel comfortable with your boyfriend having on there. Eg. Big Boobs on display in underwear, bum out and very sexual pics on their profiles, even some with links to their 'only fans'. I confronted him and asked that he unfriended any girls that he doesn't actually know, and he admitted that he doesn't know them. However, he refuses to delete them saying he won't be dictated to and won't delete them as he's had them on there for years. I had noticed that sometimes he spends hours upon hours active on Facebook till the early hours of the morning and I think this is really suspicious behaviour and said I don't want to be in a relationship with someone who won't consider my feelings. Am I being paranoid or do I have a right to be upset and have I done the right thing finishing things?

I thought you'd already ditched him?

Anyway ... deep breaths - your upset will pass.
Seriously - how can you be "in love" with this tosser?
He's a sleazy little man who pervs over semi-clad strangers, & when he realises how much you dislike it, deliberately rams it in your face until you naturally become upset - & then he rams you upset in your face too, to belittle & control you.

He loves thinking you are 'jealous'. I don't think you are. I think you are disgusted.

Those are 2 very separate emotions. When you have some time, spend it thinking that one through.
You don't want to be like those ridiculously posed caricatures of women.
Of course it's distressing to learn that he rates them.

That is not a decent man. Not the man you hoped he might be. Therefore - you do not love him. You were in love with the idea of him.

Let that idea go - it's not real.

This is not the OP unless it's a name change. @Shirl2022 you might want to start your own thread as it's getting confusing.

It was a name change fail.

It's not a name change fail. She literally said she'd read the OP and is experiencing similar. The writing style is completely different.

I would also not be involved with a man that did this. I actually don't think it's 'dictating' to request him to unfollow them. It makes you uncomfortable, maybe he had forgotten, maybe he was unaware of how it made you feel etc. Everyone has the right to request a change but then you have to accept him saying 'no'. Totally right to end things after that though. The 2 of you obviously have very different ideas about what constitutes respect

Show him the door, no men should objectify women. Sounds like a pea brain and let him have his pathetic social media friends who offer no friendship. Just sounds sleezy and he is being disrespectful to you!

My cousin’s boyfriend had porn on his walls when she met him. He refused to take it down. She married him anyway.

He’s now a total dick to her and she is very sad.

Honestly I’d take this as the red flag that this is and dump him.

Hun just end it. Red flag aleady that he’s doing it and the way he responded to you. I understand he can’t be dictated to but this is what he’s into and basically told you to piss off. Ur not that much Vg if a priority. Just end it now before you get in too deep x
