Boyfriend following a woman he matched on dating app

Is it unreasonable of me to be upset about the fella I’m seeing following a woman he matched with on a dating app? For reference we’ve been in a relationship for 6 months now and I personally am not friends with nor do I follow any old matches on social media. He only follows 50 people as well so it’s not like it he just lost track of who he was following. It feels intentional and disrespectful but maybe I’m getting riled up over nothing.

Could he have followed her at that time and has now forgotten ?

Do you trust him ?

Ask him ?

He’s keeping her as a back up option

@forgotmyusernamagain
He hasn’t forgotten, he’s liked every photo she’s posted up until about 2 months ago.

I will eventually ask him, just not sure if I’m being ridiculous or if it’s justified

I don't think it's a big deal necessarily. But the liking every photo she posted would not have been OK with me. That's what a lot of guys do to show interst and intent.

Still, he has stopped now. So i wouldn't bother bringing it up. Not unless he starts up again. In which case, tell him under no uncertain terms that is highly innapropriate and he needs to knock it off.

If she didn't reciprocate then I'd find that creepy.

@Shoxfordian
Definitely a concern of mine!

@Pinkbonbon
Yeah will just have to wait and see if he keeps it up!

@Thelnebriati
They’re mutuals so I would say it’s reciprocated

You know this isn't great. Keep an eye on it I'd say x
